For example, Ghost: "Tell her I'll never stop loving her. Tell her our love is stronger than the cancer that took me. I'll never forget the time we ate those biscuits and gravy at the little bed and breakfast at the Cape. Oh, how we laughed. She's so beautiful when she laughs."
Whisperer: "He says, 'Biscuits and gravy cause cancer.'"
Loved one: "Wha?"
And that, that is what I hate most about the Ghost Whisperer.

...That and only a year later I was hopelessly addicted and they cancelled it. Stupid, Ghost Whisperer.
My niece adores this asinine romp.Many things about this awful show irked me. The lousy translations did top the list! Now it's in syndication and I suffer through the horridly insipid commercials.
Wouldn't ANYONE in a tiny hamlet be a tad concerned about a store owner with very few clients who trots around town talking to her invisible friends all day? In weird, trampy outfits? (They might work in NYC or LA. Not in Smallberg, USA. She'd stick out like a slutty sore thumb. I love my breasts, too. But they are forced to behave themselves.)
Why on Earth would anybody not find it odd that her BFF died tragically, so did her hunky hubby and that neither of these deaths really bothered her much? Less than a year later, she's married to a strange, homely guy? Even though she was pregnant at the time her first husband died? Does this gal have the worst luck ever or is she a serial killer?
AND: If ghosts did exist, why the hell would they speak to HER and not their own loved ones? The shortest distance is a straight line.
In real life, somebody would suggest a padded cell for the nut job! Whether she is "with ghost" or not.
AAAAAAGH. I really need to get my niece into bunjee jumping ... or crocheting ... fish husbandry ... anything but GW reruns.
Anonymous, I love your comment. I agree with everything you wrote, and I especially appreciate that you have clearly watched the show enough to know the story arcs.
You blame your niece for this knowledge but I sense a deep underlying love for GW. It's so much easier if you don't fight; embrace the brainwashing. As they say in the commercials, "You're kind of amazing." Giggle!
To me the show Ghost Whisperer is shoved upon the viewer. It is placed before and after really good shows. Then it takes their prime spot. I find it dull, over-done, and lacking in so many ways. It's been on for years and every fricking channel it's a monopoly. I believe the star JLH is related to a powerful producer. I don't appreciate being forced to watch such folly. I preferred Medium and I prefer Criminal Minds to this spectacle about some narcissistic witch.
