charliesmumTonight I watch "Ghost Whisperer", which isn't a bad show, not exactly 'appointment television' but not a bad thing to watch if one has nothing else to do on a Friday night, assuming someone is interested in watching a sentimental show about a skinny woman helping lost souls say goodbye to their loved ones and so forth.
I do, however, fail to understand why TPTB at CBS think this show is going to bring in younger viewers than Joan of Arcadia did - at least JOA was about a teenager, where the Ghost Whisperer is a 20-something newlywed.
Anyway...Ghost Whisperer isn't a bad show. Decent acting, the writing is pretty good, and the sappy isn't too horribly sappy, although it comes pretty close. It's not the most original of plots, though as Medium is already on the air (though more of a crime drama than GW is) and there was a very short lived show called...Dead Last, I think, about this rock n roll trio who got some amulet and now see dead people and have to help them say goodbye to their loved ones and so forth. I guess it was a show before its time, as supernatural is all the rage these days.
I wish I knew someone who could do that - see dead people, I mean. I've been told by more than one supposed psychic that there is someone with me. And Charlie too, come to that.
Right. Meanwhile, in real life my husband has some band staying in our attic for the next two nights, and it sounds like they are going to 'record' now, which will seriously piss me off as it is after nine and Charlie has to go to bed, and won't be able to do so with drums pounding in the attic.
Sigh...
