Not a Ghost of a Chance That I Will Miss It

I am a fan of the TV show Ghost Whisperer.  

I realize that in making this admission, I am not putting myself into the category of the uber-hip.  I know that the cool kids are not watching the Whisperer.  I don't care, though, and I refuse apologize for my fan-dom.

I didn't set out to become a fan of the show.  A couple of TV seasons ago I was working on a painting project at home that was taking way longer than intended.  I had the TV on in the background, and Ghost Whisperer came on.  It was one of the last few shows of that season, so there was a lot of suspense and intrigue leading up to the season-ending cliffhanger.  I totally got sucked in.

It is not that I believe in ghosts or think that the show is plausible.  I am not touting it as some of the best acting on TV.  (For that, tune into Mad Med, Entourage, Weeds or Big Love.  Love them.)  I think that part of it is that the star of the show, Jennifer Love Hewitt, seems so likable.  Again, I know.  Not the coolest actor going.  Again, I don't care.  I think of her as the Anne Hathaway of television.  There is something relatable about J. Love.  She seems like someone who would be fun to have in a book club or around on game night.  

Sure, there are hipper people out there.  I love Pink as well, for example, but I really don't feel like Pink and I would be hanging out at any point.  What would we do?  Race dirt bikes?  Get into bar fights together?  Not so much.  I am so not that gal.  I could totally do afternoon tea with J. Love, though.

I should probably make it clear at this point that I am not delusional.  I don't expect to meet Pink or JLH (or Anne Hathaway or any other celebrity for that matter) and become BFFs.  I suppose that I am just trying to get to the root of my Whisperer loyalty.  Of course, there is no need to do that.  I am not alone.  On Facebook, there are over 74,000 Ghost Whisperer fans.  (Yes, I have become a GW fan on FB.  I never claimed to be trying to make myself look cool here.)

Anyway, the plot of the show is taking a big twist.  J. Love's husband on the show is now a ghost.  Intriguing?  Lame?  You will just have to tune in to find out.
