Ghosts

6 Seasons
Cheerful freelance journalist Samantha and Jay, an up-and-coming chef from the city, throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge run-down country estate they inherited into a bed-and-breakfast--until they discover that it is inhabited by the spirits of many deceased former residents. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer, a pompous 1700s Militiaman, a 1960s hippie fond of hallucinogens, and an overly upbeat '80s scout-troop leader. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it's nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.
