Friday at 8pm is called the "death slot". They put shows there, knowing they wont get good ratings. Most shows can't even get a 2.0 rating. I wonder if the season would have been picked up for a full 22 episode count if MEDIUM started with it's current ratings (1.4). The second and third episode dropped down in ratings to a season low 1.1. I think that scared CBS, so I wonder if the decision would have changed if it was steadily at a 1.4.
Also another night would have helped. Everyone knows people go out on Fridays.

Still, its a shame to see a show with such fan base end. It was one of those shows that always put a smile on my face. I will miss it

I, too, have been watching this show since its debut in 2005, and am sad to see it go. Then again, all good things must come to an end, I suppose. At least we have DVDs to revisit the series whenever we want.

Thanks, Patricia, Jake, and the entire cast for providing such great TV moments.

if not when are the last episodes airing?

they should have just ended it last season. that would have been a great series finale.

No it has three more episodes -- January 7th, 14th, 21st are the assumed air dates. The 21st is the series finale supposedly.

The final three episode titles:

7x11 - 7 January 2011 -Only Half Lucky

7x12 - 14 January 2011 -Labor Pains

7x13 - 21 January 2011-Me Without You (series finale.)

I dont want it to end. Medium is the best show I have ever seen and I hate that it is ending. At least we get a proper ending.

Thanks much for the episode titles! I don't want it to end either, but I must admit, I am really looking forward to these episodes. Long live Medium! I say let's push for the movie!

This is really sad...After 7 seasons and millions of fans all over the world I thought we deserved at least 12 more episodes! I will miss the Dubois family!

I too have watched this show since it first aired and am really going to miss it terribly. Thank goodness for the dvd's! That is one thing CBS cannot take away from me!

The title of 7x13 is interesting.

Sounds like there will be quite a bit of drama.

And in 7x12 we'll see what effects the cancellation had on it.

Hopefully they give it a good end. A great joke ending would be Joe killing Allison, and getting a good nights sleep for the first time in a long time

Or maybe Allison loses her gift, giving Joe hours extra of sleep a week

Yep I feel sorry for Joe the poor gut never gets a full night sleep

If it had a decent time slot and better writers, it wouldnt have been cancelled

How long has Dr who been going now ?

I watched it as a kid, I'm retired now, thats what good scheduling and good writers can do for a program

I dont know if the US ever saw the early black and white programs, but its very popular over there now

I have a friend that has an original Dalek and Police box, he shows it off around the country, its VERY popular, both with kids and adults

This isnt going to happen to medium, the writers just arent good enough (and that goes for any TV show these days)

I'm very sad because of the end... The real END...

For me, this have been one of the best shows on TV ever and I'm going to miss them a lot!!! Alison and her dreams, her pasion; the loyalty of Joe and his way to put a little sense in her wife (what amazing couple!!!); Ariel the stubborn and intelligent; wonderful and amazing Brigette; adorable Marie; and all the rest...!!

Thanks for all this years, all the amazing scripts, the constant surprises and the tenderness of a real close family...

***** SPOILERS *****

I have to say that I cried a lot in the last episode... It was very sad... I knew all the time that Joe was dead... but at the end... I cried!!!

I am so glad that this idiotic show has FINALLY been cancelled.

Stupid,naive, overprotecting,and overly emotional Allison: She did pre-law before "deciding" to have a family? How did she ever get into the school? She never showed the slightest intelligence concerning the law or the "real"world. Genius/high IQ husband who is a complete idiot in his home life; How long have the been together and he STILL doesn't know how her abilities work? (For that matter, SHE doesn't seem to have figured the least of it out after 20+ years.) Not to mention his loss of sleep which would have be grounds for divorce at WORST when the first of his children started showing the same abilities. The oldest daughter who, like the middle sister, is a selfish, egocentric, spoiled brat and who is NEVER in the course of the series given the real or figurative slap from her parents that she always needed.

If people watched this show for so many seasons, it says a lot about the audience. (Do audiences really think this "family" is normal... even under the exceptional circumstances?)

And if this resembled in any way the life of the real Allison DuBois, I have nothing but pity for the whole family. It's the only emotion they've earned.

for you to know that much about the show, you must have watched a few episodes - which leads me to ask why? why watch a show you hate? and then log on to a message board and express your opinions? did you watch the entire series?
