Ghost Whisperer

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 5.08 “Dead Listing” Beyond that, though, not a terrible episode. I was really glad to see Delia get a larger role in this episode. See? You can get people who don’t hear or see ghosts in a storyline without a stretch! Or without just discussing their dating lives.

By Raked I’m at a bit of a loss as to what to say about this week’s Ghost Whisperer. If you were paying attention to my twitter this weekend, you would have seen that I was postponing watching the show because of the Jennifer Love Hewitt pole-dancing scene. Yes, that was enough to make me not watch becaus...

By Raked You know what else I want? Follow up on Sally Stitch and the morgue guy. Those were great setups, but where’s the fallout? Am I demanding too much? Probably so. It is Ghost Whisperer, after all. GHOST WHISPERER: 5.06 “Head Over Heels” I’ve been holding off writing about this e

By Raked I can’t say I loved this episode. To be honest, it was pretty bad. There was very little here to commend. Congratulations, Ghost Whisperer. You made five minutes of interesting television. GHOST WHISPERER: 5.05 “Cause for Alarm” I can’t say I loved this episode. To be ho

By Raked There’s something especially curious and scary about medical procedures in the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. Maybe it’s because we know they didn’t have all the same medical advances that we do now, and that scares us. I don’t know. But there’s certainly a reason that there are flashbacks to those de...

By Raked Now, I realize that Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks that Jamie Kennedy is the bee’s knees, but I find the Eli storylines to be excruciatingly dull. Not only are they just boring, but Jamie Kennedy’s Eli is quickly going downhill in his capabilities to be a “blind” ghost whisperer, you know, som...

By Raked Needless to say, I’m looking forward to seeing this develop in the next week or so. The episodes of Ghost Whisperer where creepiness is the strength tend to be my favorite. Plus, I wonder if we’ll get to see the young Aiden interact with Julia. We didn’t really get to see him do much in this episod...

By Raked It was a good enough episode to introduce us to the new way of the series. Five years in the future. A son with special abilities. Sam/Jim is a doctor, and as Aiden pointed out, there are a lot of ghosts in the hospital, so maybe that will play a part in some upcoming episodes.

By Raked Anyway, I’m not sure how Ghost Whisperer fits in the mix. It’s got the supernatural edge, but it’s sure not a teenage drama. I was actually most interested to see how Melinda juggled new motherhood with her whispering, and it looks like for the most part, we’re missing out. Instead, she’ll be f...

By Raked And the other? Medium. Contrary to NBC’s execs, this is one show worth watching. I’m glad CBS appreciates this, as they picked up the show for next fall once NBC dropped it, and it will now air on Fridays after Ghost Whisperer–which might just be a brilliant matchup, as long as it doesn’t seem l...

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 4.23 “The Book of Changes” I don’t know what I expected for a finale of Ghost Whisperer–especially this season. I mean, Jim died. Then became Sam. Then left and came back. Then remembered being Jim. Then found out Melinda’s carrying his baby…

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 4.22 “Endless Love” Something just felt wrong with the episode. Too much of a stretch. Mis-advertised. And just not entertaining. GHOST WHISPERER: 4.22 “Endless Love” Um. What? Ok, Ghost Whisperer. I know that vampires

By Raked Melinda Gordon found the Dollhouse a whole hour before Ballard did. Of course, hers was a real dollhouse, and inside it were wee dolls that were possessed by spirits. Spirits of a 16-year-old’s family–a 16-year-old that looked like she was in her mid-20s in a bad way. (Terrible casting on GW’...

By Raked Anyway, it’s pretty clear that we’ve got some big episodes coming up on our favorite shows, and those are just the ones I’m willing to share info about or speculate on (and trust me, Dollhouse is complete speculation; I won’t share my opinions about who I think could kick it, though if you wa...

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 4.20 “Stage Fright” And it’s Jim’s! Anyway, the Jim and Melinda moment at the end certainly helped. I’m looking forward to the next episode. GHOST WHISPERER: 4.20 “Stage Fright” Awww. I know that they showed it in the preview, bu

By Raked CBS: New Ghost Whisperer (of course), Flashpoint, and Numb3rs. A whole night of newbies! FOX: New Prison Break (are YOU still watching?) and Dollhouse (as stated above). NBC: New Howie Do It (two episodes–this is still on the air?) and Dateline.

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 4.19 “Thrilled to Death” So I was pretty thrilled to hear that Hilary Duff was returning to TV (pre-new show, which I think starts next fall) for this episode of Ghost Whisperer. Beyond that, I think this episode was terribly mistitled.

By Raked Let’s look at another show, Ghost Whisperer. This show, I was 100% skeptical of its quality. Not to say it’s the best show on television, but it certainly gives us a new way of looking at it. I was sure that Jim would die. I was sure that he’d hang around as a ghost or he would just disappear. What I didn...

By Raked In the end, we certainly had a surprise ending. Despite what Sam Jim Jim Sam had seen of Melinda or heard from her friends, he lost that inkling of belief that kept him going throughout the episode. He tried to convince Melinda that she needed help, and Melinda said one thing back.

By Raked I’m impressed with Ghost Whisperer. They tend to go around the obvious. I mean, I fully expected one of the following to happed: Sam Jim Jim Sam figured it out on his own; Sam Jim Jim Sam assumes incorrectly and dumps Melinda; Melinda tells him in her own time; one of Melinda’s friends (Eli) spi...

By Raked Next on the list is the second season of 8 Simple Rules, coming out May 19 (I know, a bit far out). This show really snuck up on me. It never really stood out to me when it was on the air, but I adored it in syndication (if only ABC Family would bring it back!). And this season, of course, is home to John R...

By Raked GHOST WHISPERER: 4.15 “Greek Tragedy” There was something amiss about Friday night’s Ghost Whisperer. I think the storyline might have been too complicated. Or they were taking something very simple and making it more complicated than it should be.

By Raked TRU CALLING: 1.20 “Two Weddings and a Funeral” In the weeklong Dushku-fest, we’re now turning to Tru Calling. I could have chosen one of my two favorite episodes (”Putting Out Fires” or “The Last Good Day”), but for some reason, I chose this one to take a look at first. Maybe it spoke to me.

By Raked Anyway, in the end, it was happy. Even for Melinda and Sam Jim Jim Sam. I think I like the new Sam Jim Jim Sam. As much as I liked the super-supportive guy, it’s nice to have someone with a fresh perspective. He has a very similar attitude toward Melinda as Luke did with Tru in Tru Calling–getting mor...
