  1. I am extremely relieved that ABC has decided to pick up Ghost Whisperer. Now I can say that I’d be OK with a 13- or 16-episode season 6 stint that’d appear mid-season. That may be the way to go to develop stories and hangers that would make a season 7 really great. Either way, I am relieved now and plan on watching ABC now. So much for CBS. Big mistake cancelling those 7 series, 4 of which I watched. I’m just saying…

  2. Thank you ABC Ghost Whisperer is a great show!! I and millions of other people will be watching when it premiers.

This is actually the only show our family watches together — so THANK YOU, ABC, for making the world a more joyful place for Ghostwhisperer fans.

  29. Thank goodness!! i was so scared that it was over. i couldn’t believe it! it was hard watching the last episode and thinking it might be the last. if ABC decides to only make one more season i wouldn’t care as long as it gets the respectable ending it deserves. i’m glad ABC has picked my favorite show up.

  32. I am so glad ABC picked up Ghost Whisperer. It is the best show on TV. The compassion and concern shown by Melinda is a true inspiration and a message needed in these troubled times.

  33. I want to extend a tremendous thank you to ABC and all of you fine Ghost Whisperer followers who have worked hard to let your voice be heard in support of this AMAZING show, as one of you I have been frantic ever since hearing that it was cancelled. I can’t be without Ghost Whisperer, it’s the best show out there!!!! I am SO grateful and excited that it has not crossed over and we have so much more to see. This is the best show on TV that promotes love, deep emotions, values, you name it, plus with very endearing and beloved characters we want to see more of!

    We should shout THANK YOU ABC!!!!! You did the right thing and now you have MILLIONS more viewers jumping to your network. Let’s tell ABC thank you!

  36. Thanks ABC for picking up ghost whisperer it’s my favorite show. ABC rocks!!!!

  37. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks ABC!

  38. AWESOME! We are so happy that ABC picked up GHOST WHISPERER! That is our favorite show and were so shocked that CBS cancelled it…what the heck?! Anyway, we are your devoted fans now ABC! Thank you so much!

  39. I’m glad to hear the show is being given a reprieve but ABC, please hire some capable writers for this show!. The only thing that has held this thing together for the last three years is Jennifer Love Hewitt. She has remained the constant while everything about this show became completely silly. Please, no more shark jumping everytime there is a slight dip in the ratings. I know it would be hard to get rid of the creepy little kid but please cut a little dead wood from this thing (like maybe people who can’t see ghosts but hear them} and bring the show back into figting trim. I hope this move to ABC is just what this show needed to return to something akin to what it was in the beginning. A great show.

    P.S. And until it has established some credible plot lines don’t put it up against Medium or it’s going to lose.

  40. Thank you, ABC! CBS’s loss is your gain! Even though the scripts were formulaic this past season, now that the battle between the Shadows and Shinies has been fought and won (yea! no more putting out the good silver to banish evil), give Ghost Whisperer’s loyal fans something we can sink our teeth into. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for seeing them when CBS couldn’t!

  41. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You ABC. I am so……… excited. Oh my husband is going to hate this. He thought it was all over and he would not have to hear me talk about every week. I am so happy. Sorry, true blue fan. Have a great day everyone!!!!
