Description
Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has a gift - she can communicate with earthbound spirits or ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business in our world preventing them from "crossing over" or going into the light. Inspired in part by the work of famed medium James Van Praagh and of Mary Ann Winkowski, a real-life communicator with earth bound spirits, GHOST WHISPERER explores the spiritual side of life and death. Melinda navigates between the dead and the living with her sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing actions as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt. Although she is very good at being an intermediary she never publicizes this gift instead is known around town as a newlywed and the owner of the successful antiques store, Same As it Never Was.
Firefighter Jim Clancy (David Conrad), Melinda's husband, knows that being an intermediary between the living and dead can take an emotional toll on his wife and worries that he might not be able to protect her as well as he would like. Melinda has also recently revealed her gift to new friend and employee, Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), a single mom of teenager Ned Banks (Christoph Sanders). Melinda fears what the consequences might be of drawing Delia into this unconventional world, as Delia, unlike her son Ned, is a bit skeptical of Melinda's gift - although she loves Melinda unconditionally as a friend. Melinda has also shared her secret with Eli James (Jamie Kennedy), a psychology professor at Rockland University, who is a unique individual - he has the gift of hearing ghosts, but not seeing them. For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime curse, but always helps her clients, alive or dead, find emotional closure. Currently in its fourth season, Ghost Whisperer plunges into new territory by literally rocking the foundations of the series with a new mythology - Love Transcends Death.
Customer reviews for 'Ghost Whisperer: The Fifth Season'
«Is anyone else shocked that this is the FINAL season!»
I know this hasn't come out yet (I'm sure it will be as bittersweet as any other end of a series DVD), but I just wanted to prelude its release with a plea to other fans of this show. Maybe if we buy the DVD's right away it will show CBS that they made a HUGE mistake. If sales were through the roof maybe they would realize their mistake and try to pick it up again. This happened when they cancelled Angel, only everyone involved had moved on to permanent jobs already (Bones, Supernatural). Jennifer Love is just doing small movies and guest spots right now, the writers are developing new projects, but maybe it's not too late. This just sucks. Why are network people so stupid? If you go buy the numbers and not by the fan output and desire you are not really seeing the true popularity of a show. How many people have a Nielsen box anymore? This crap that they pull is the reason why I watch the shows on DVD instead of TV. But I'm Canadian so it's not like my ratings count anyway.
Shuffling the time slots every few months, changing days to see if it will go up against another network's most popular show, showing re-runs for 3 or 4 weeks every few new episodes.... Just stand behind your show and leave it alone and you'd really see how popular it is you business school morons. I don't think we'll ever see a network hold onto a show for 10 years again... gone are the days when a show like Friends or Seinfeld can fluctuate in ratings but still stay until THEY want to leave. I miss the days when TV didn't disappoint me on a daily basis. We're really not all as stupid as you think we are Hollywood, we're getting tired of your crappy movies, re-makes of EVERYTHING that has ever made money in the past and your cheap reality TV shows. Just tell me Medium isn't next!
Rant over.

«All the things that had once made this show special.............were long gone by season 5»
This series started out centering around a heroine who was sweet,warm, and charming. By season 5, this was no longer the case. Melinda was often grumpy and unpleasant, and she had a tendency to speak to the people she supposedly cared about as if they were ignorant lackeys who were just in her way. Nobody else on the show really got any kind of part at all, which I can only assume that we can attribute to the influence of Hewitt herself. Most likely, none of them were kissing up to her sufficiently, so she saw to it that they all held nothing more than glorified bit parts.
Plus, the storylines made less and less sense as the years progressed. We saw this in season 4, with her husband 'jumping' into some other guy's body. But season 5 was off-the-charts stupid.
This series fell an enormous distance in a very short time. Like I said, the plotlines for season 4 left much to be desired, in some regards. But the overall quality of the show was still quite good. I found season 4 quite charming, in spite of its shortcomings. It retained a warmth, and a class, that are sorely lacking in most modern television.
During season 4, Ghost Whisperer was still a high quality production, and the downside was not enough to derail the show. I still liked it quite well.
But season 5? It was as if they WANTED to get cancelled.
