5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best shows on TV, Dec 5 2009

This review is from: Ghost Whisperer S4 (DVD)
In an era of really bad TV, Ghost Whisperer is something very special. The writers took a risk in season 4 with this Sam character, but in the end it brought an interesting twist to the series. If you enjoy shows that deal with the supernatural, you will like this show.

One of my favorite shows takes an absurd, soapy turn, July 8 2009

This review is from: Ghost Whisperer S4 (DVD)
I've had an embarrassingly deep affection for Ghost Whisperer since the first episode. I generally like 'edgier', more clever programming, but Ghost Whisperer has always provided the uplifting, inspirational, poignant and just plain entertaining mood-boost that even a cynic like I am found really refreshing!
This season, though, was a crushing disappointment. In what seems like a desperate bid to be 'SHOCKING', the show killed off dull but sweetly supportive Jim...only to transplant him into another body and waste untold amounts of melodramatic screen time on 'Jim is Sam but really still Jim' nonsense that's somehow even stupider than it may sound. This predictable, repetitive melodrama took valuable screen time away from developing the show's ghost stories or actually exploring the spirit world.
Combine this with the introduction of the least appealing regular in this show's history---the vaguely unpleasant Eli, who's like Professor Payne of earlier seasons but without the humor and charm---and you have a season that had even a diehard GW lover like I am ready to give up on the series.
I'd recommend spending your money on earlier seasons, which feature interesting ghost stories and a blend of mood-boosting sweetness and charm that's lacking in this one.

Most likely you've already seen the shows on TV so really you just want a copy for review again.
So I'm now watching First season over again again then I might list because of pending move!
