    Suspenseful and heart quickening, this show is scary, sad and suspenseful: the three s's every show needs! Thumbs UP!

    I really like this show as well. It's good spirited fun, and it is nice to have a show that is touching once in a while. This week's episode was good, but I hope it isn't a going trend. I rather have the show about helping people "cross over" than "possession".

    I've seen both shows of this series. But the 2nd one seemed too long...perhaps GW should be a 30-minute show...pacing is too slow...And the show's competitors have too much of a head start...Outcome of this program is a question mark

    Jennifer Love Hewitt is absolutely good in playing Melinda Gordon. She's a great actress and can really act. She's back with us remember she's the original teen/TV Queen trashing Sarah, Katie and other girls on TV. She's definitely great. The show I know will stay there for long.!

    I have no idea why this show has been getting such slack. In all truthfull ness I'm not a big Hewitt fan but you know what, I love this show. It's made me a fan. If you watch I'd say 1 or 2 episodes I don't see how you can't get hooked on it. It's great. Hope it lasts a long time.

    I really like the cast here - I think there is good chemistry. I like the teasers for what I hope are future episodes (like the dark ghost in the shop - whom I hope Mellissa's mother knows about)

    This show is surprisingly well done. J. Love is a darn good acrtress, and her support is well cast. The writing has been very good. If they can keep on writing good shows, this one's just going to keep going up the charts for a while, I'd guess. It's that good.

    Wonderful Show with believable acting. The So-Called Critics once upon a time said that Married with Children would not last either and it was stupid......Well....that "stupid" show lasted 10 years! Lets listen to the average person and not some "stupid" critic who probably lives in a penthouse.

    I read some of the negative comments from the critics, Are they watching the same show as I am. I find Ghost Whisperes a very entertaining show. Of course it strays from reality, If I want to watch reality I will watch the news, I want o be entertained and Ghost Whsperers does that quite well. Wake up you idiot brain critics, for once try to get your thumb on the pulse of the television viewers

    Quite frankly the Sep 15 2006 episode is very best television show I have ever seen. This one hour show made the big screen mega-bucks movies pale in comparison. Pitt, Clooney, Cruise, Lohan, Duff, eat your hearts out. The cast on this show makes you look all like amatuers........

    I really like this show but was disapointed that the dog didn't to with the boys and he should of since he was with them the whole time. We believe that we will be with our animals in the next life and so you should have sent the dog with them.

    I always find it corny when it comes to i-have-a-gift / i-can-talk-to-ghosts shows, story, movie. But this one is not as bad as I think bc it has an almost-realistic story.

    Ghost Whisperer sets the scene slowly, with breasts and shadows, but by the end of the season we've got a villain in a top hat, secrets about Melinda's mother and grandmother are foretold, a plane crash and one very saddening death. An enjoyable series that often needs more of the supernatural, less of the sentimentality.

    At times during ''Ghost Whisperer," the sentiment is so thick you might want to go away from the light -- the light from the TV set, that is.
