What do you feel about Ghost ...
Question: What do you feel about
Ghost Whisperer? The CBS honchos made a big mistake when they said talking to ghosts plays better than talking to God. I personally don't think this show's acting and writing is of the same caliber as
Joan of Arcadia's.
Ghost Whisperer is just the 21st century's answer to
Touched by an Angel. Been there, done that.
Answer: Nothing could make the CBS honchos, as you call them, happier than to have this show likened to
Touched by an Angel, which had a very healthy nine-season run. No question that this is a less ambitious and distinguished show than
Joan, and is in no danger of being nominated for Emmys (although with that ridiculous group you never know). But so far, it's doing quite well on Fridays, surprising just about everyone. Looks like a keeper to me. A keeper I have little intention of watching, but a keeper nonetheless.
