Rae's Take:
Friday nights in general are difficult for television viewing. By the end of the week, I am exhausted by all the drama and action from the various shows on the schedule. "Ghost Whisperer" gives viewers the opportunity to experience what has always been a mystery: What happens when we die? Do we haunt our loved ones? What lengths will our souls go to in order to send a message? Watch every week as Melinda Gordon helps these lost souls and their families find eternal peace. Definitely Tivo-worthy.
Synopsis:
Newlywed Melinda Gordon communicates with earthbound spirits, ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar plane of existence that we call life.
Inspired in part by the work of famed medium James Van Praagh and of Mary Ann Winkowski, a real-life communicator with spirits, "Ghost Whisperer" explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the dead and the living in her sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt.
Jim, her husband, worries about the emotional toll this work is taking on his wife as they embark on a new life together. Andrea, her friend and business partner in their antique store, is fascinated by Melinda's talent.
For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime curse, but always helps her clients, alive or dead, find emotional closure.
