Show Summary

  • Ended
Melinda Gordon is a young newlywed with the unique ability to communicate with the earthbound spirits of people who have died, and who seek her help. Melinda uses her gift to relay significant messages and important information to the living, but sometimes the messages she receives are intense and confusing. As a result, she is often met with questions and skepticism by the survivors. But when Melinda is able to help both the lost souls who contact her and those who are still alive, she knows that her unique talent is an asset and not a liability. Opening Narration: "I just got married. I just moved to a small town. I just opened an antique shop. I might be just like you. Except from the time I was a little girl I knew I could talk to the dead. Earthbound spirits my grandmother called them. The ones who have not crossed over because they have unfinished business with the living and they come to me for help. To tell you my story, I have to tell you theirs."moreless

  • If you've somehow missed seeing Ms. Hewitt's bosom, this show will get you up to speed quickly.

    The premise is terminally silly. Ms. Hewitt's character sees so many dead people that it's amazing that she can find room to walk on the sidewalk.

    The show seems to exist mainly to put Ms. Hewitt in situations where she can wear different outfits that display her famous cleavage. We see her wake up in the morning, wearing a low-cut nightgown. We see her go to work in a low-cut blouse. We see her have dreams where she's wearing low-cut lingerie.

    Not that that's not entertaining, just don't expect much from the stories.moreless

  • Melinda Gordon is a young newlywed with a great husband and her own antiques shop. She also sees, and talks to ghosts. She helps them find out why they have not crossed over. A bit far-fetched, but a lovely idea that one can't quite disbelieve...moreless

    I have to say that my husband and I really liked the show for the first few years, however, we stopped watching when Jim died and then jumped into the other guy. I am very disappointed in the writers and producers who went to this extreme--did they really think that would improve the show? In fact, they probably lost a lot of viewers. Also, the substitution of Jamie Kennedy for Jay Mohr was a bad idea--he just doesn't do anything for the show; plus he's not the actor Jay is. I actually was upset when Ayisha Tyler's character died in the plane crash episodes as I do not like Camryn Manheim at all, but, since I do like her son (even though he grew up overnight into a different person, it seems, from one season to the next--what was that all about?)I'll put up with her...or I did until the show did the jump-the-shark thing. Even though I hate the "it was all a dream" thing (done with "Dallas" and "St. Elsewhere") if it brings back Jim as himself, then I accept it!!.moreless

    My Partner loves this show and does not miss it!. He also watches swimming, tennis, running, marathons on tv. This goes to show there is not a lot of thinking or imagination required. It is just awful. It was my worst tv show of all time but "the storm" came along and knocked them off. I seriously hope they dont mix this show with medium, medium is far superior!
    Jennifer Love Hewitt may be pretty but as acting goes, no, she cant act!!!! The story of the ghost game reality crossover was so bad it was funny though. This show is like vomit and dog turd on a cream cracker - extremely hard to swallow!

    VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!! BAD TV, BAD BAD TV!!!!!moreless

    What are they thinking?! You can not kill Jim. Melinda won't be melinda without Jim. I too beleive they have not only killed Jim but their audience too. I am so disgusted. Tonight I think was my last episode. The writers need to seriously find a way to fix this or they can kiss this series goodbye. Some think the main character is all that matters but that is not true. The main character is only as good as their supporting actors.It was one thing to kill Andrea, we can live without her, but not Jim. Just two words for the writers....YOU SUCK!moreless

    melinda can see ghosts and she pass messages for the ghosts to ppl they love or care about.
    melinda also gets vissions of things to come and sometimes she gets them form ghosts.
    the show gives us some great acting skills from jennifer and rest of the cast.
    the special effects are pretty decent.
    the show has a nice plot to go along with everything.
    so even tho the acting great,and the special effects are good and the show has a nice plot.
    the thing i hated and cant seem to get over of is after every ep when it gets ready to go off and the ghosts is saying his or hers goodbyes and melinda is telling the family.it also becomes a crying scene which got really annoying overtime.
    not only that but the writers would just change stories like it wasnt nothing just to fit the show.for example when the writers wrote themselves in a hole about melinda and gabriel being brother and sister b/c how did gabriel get his power.so they made it where they werent siblings.then they started changing so much stuff it got to me.
    so not only that they would drop stoires lines like it was no one businesss.i mean what happened to gabriel?what ever happened to the white brim man?they would make every end scene a crying scene and they change to much stuff.
    so even tho the acting good,the special effects are cool and the plot is nice...the writing can be terrible if not god awful at times and they just drop too many stories and forget about others.
    ill say give this show a chance but in the middle of season 3 youll be disappointeed every season until season 5 when it ends.the show started out good like charmed and become awful like charmed in the end.(charmed still a better show than this tho)moreless
