Patricia Arquette stars as a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people.

Allison DuBois (Arquette) is a strong-willed young mother of three, a devoted wife and law student who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams, and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns for support to her husband Joe (Jake Weber), an aerospace engineer, who slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) -- and the other doubters in the criminal justice system -- that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand when it comes to solving violent and horrific crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave.

Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette, the eldest two DuBois children. David Cubitt stars as Detective Lee Scanlon, who Allison often works with on cases.

During season three Joe lost his job, and he developed an invention during season four that led him to a new job opportunity. At the end of season three, Allison's abilities were discovered by the public, causing Devalos to be removed from his position as the D.A. and Allison to lose her job. Season four saw Allison finding a new working partner, while she still sometimes worked with Scanlon and helped Devalos in an effort to get his job back. At the end of season four, Devalos reclaimed his position as the D.A. of Phoenix and hired Allison to work for him once again. The program's fifth season saw Allison returning to the D.A.'s office, her powers more interesting and varied than ever. With her secret out in the open, Allison gained some unique opportunities, but also sometimes had to work to fend off requests for things such as private readings

At the end of the 2008-09 season, NBC canceled Medium, but CBS (which produces the series) announced that it was picking it up.

  Saw one last night during the Tony Awards. They're promoting CBS as the exclusive home for the show, starting Fall 2009. It was a very nice looking promo and it's great they're starting the ad campaign this early!

• Official Discussion: 5x17 "The First Bite is the Deepest"

  Anjelica Huston returns as Cynthia Keener. According to the summary "Allison turns to Cynthia Keener (who is now in jail) when she starts dreaming of a former kidnap victim who Cynthia had once rescued." Should be fun! Looking forward to watching it.

  excellant show. great story line. the young actors that play the kids are really good. i just can't say enough great things about this show. and i'm not one to get on line a do this sort of thing. but when i heard it was going off air, i was so mad. hide « show »

  One of my favorite show ever. I like everyone of the actors, the story lines, everything about it. please don't take it off the tv. i missed part of the end story so i will have to rent the cd when it comes out i guess. i taped it for one hour but missed the end. i love the way the husband and wife dicuss things and work things out. wonderful to see that it can be done. i know it's only a tv show but it's a good influense on people and families. need more like it. and the story line is different. i had a friend who use to have dreams and if she dreamed something 3 times i a row i usually came true. so this show is very real to me. keep it going.

  A Phoenix Housewife with three daughters uses her psychic abilities to help the D.A. and the police solve crimes in her spare time. hide « show »

  Patricia Arquette plays Allison Dubois, a Phoenix wife and mother with psychic abilities that she uses to help solve crimes in her spare time. Her husband, Joe Dubois (Jake Webber), is a scientist and engineer, so there is always that conflict between rational logic and irrational intuition. It doesn't help his case that they have three young daughters, Ariel, Bridgette, and Marie, with varying degrees of their mother's gift themselves, but he has learned not to fight it, Allison usually turns out to be right after all. He takes her constantly waking up at all hours with her revelatory dreams in reasonably good humor. The D.A. Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) has also learned to trust her intuition, though her hunches often seem extremely far fetched at first.
  
  I like the way that their semi normal life is juxtaposed with the world of crime and the paranormal. They have normal problems, like Joe is worried that the company he works for will be sold and the project he is working on scrapped. They have all the usual problems of parents raising children, except that the daughters are like chips off the old block -- in one episode one senses that her teacher has a cancerous tumor, and in another, the youngest one has an uncanny ability to predict what stocks will rise. Her engineer husband, the D.A., and the police are all such rational thinkers; there is always that crazy dialogue between the two. Just when the domestic scene starts to get a little hum drum, there is always some exciting crime to solve and get the adrenaline pumping again. Sometimes I watch The Ghost Whisperer with Jennifer Love Hewitt, with a similar premise -- but Medium is far superior. It seems grounded in reality and then when the paranormal stuff is brought in, you never have a problem when you suspend your disbelief. The Ghost Whisperer, on the other hand, you didn't believe in the first place. Both shows are entertaining, but Ghost Whisperer is like a cartoon. But just like in a certain coffee shop, Medium is Grande.

  good show and I love Allison... hide « show »

  It is a good show not a ground breaking one but it is nice to watch it. What I really like is the charachter are very real like neighbours next door. I mean like Allison she is a little bit overwight, not thin like all the other star of the other series but her face and eyes are very beautiful. Their house is always a mess like neutral 3 children home. Every detail is like real in my opinion.
  I like the coollness of Joe even Allison wakes him up in the middle of the night. And the funny talkings of Bridgette. I admit that some of the episodes were very boring but most of them are very good and watchable. I hope the show will continue for more seasons.

  5 Mediocre

  I love the trill and suspense in the show, but take out the face slicing and stabbing! The fact that one of her daughters has similar dreams is even more reason to clean it up! Let us bring some sort of values back to TV! hide « show »

  Medium should be a healthy family show expressing a little fantasy and drama. People could get shot or killed but we don't have to show horrible details of multiple razor slices on girls faces. Give us a show how that one can relax watch and even relate to. Occasionally we can sit on the edge of our chair but we should not have nightmares nor see horrible acts of violence that seem to become a norm in society.
  Perhaps if we use a rule of thumb..."little or no blood", the writers might have to become a little more creative to keep our attention!
  
  Patricia Arquette, could become the cool mom that that solves crimes and protects her TV Family. THe episode where Mrs. Dubois goes into the mind of the criminal was great and that is what made that episode not her imitating a monster with an "exacto". Can you imagine the fear a child might feel towards it's own mother after watching explicit murders. People complain about sex during prime time....this far more dangerous. I have been following Nancy Gray's shows and I am shocked at the fact that that there has been a series of moms killing their own babies. What good is medium going to do for our society if they don't clean up the episodes!
