    Okay, so it's not high drama . . . what is these days. But it's not a bad show and the bad rap Miss Hewitt carries seems more to petty jealousy than reality. She's not that bad an actress.

    Accept the premise of "Ghost Whisperer" and enjoy it for what it is. It may be too early yet to see if a much deeper central plot develops. A quality production in my book.

    The fact that the dog did not go to his reward is very upsetting. He was with the boys the whole time - why leave him behind. If he didn't have a soul he wouldn't have been there at all. Please fix this.

    The show is emotional. The frequancy of the commercials, destroys the mood. The sponsors should have some consideration for such material.

    The premise of the series is quite interesting, with a great potential, however, the show does not carry that. The corny writing along with effects that aren't convincing, Ghost Whisperer could not maintain a consistent quality to its plot. The show itself is boring and cheesy but you'd have to watch out on a lucky day where the show could potentially get better.

    First season was great, but the second season's wheels have fallen off. Real pity the show drifted away from the format that was good in the 1st season.

    Its so bad that it's good. Hense the 2. Between Hewitt's horrendous acting and the subtext of hearing the direction asking the audience to "Cry! CRY DAMN IT!!!" everyone should watch this show once. But ONLY once.

    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".

    Not only is it corny to take "Ghost Whisper" from "Horse Whisperer", but this show is flat and too canned.

    this is the best show on TV I love it. I hope it stay's around for a long time. It is wonderful. And I am hard to please. But this show is wonderful. Please tell me why it is not going to be on next Friday the 21st. Pleast don't tell me it is not coming back. It will brake my heart.

    I like this show very much. It shows that your loved ones are watching over you and it does help for the times you are sad and that they love you and miss you. Please keep this show on

    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.

    What is special about "Ghost Whisperer" is the way it gets everything else right -- casting, acting, writing, directing, pacing, music, you name it.
