I broke up with this show a few months ago after they killed off my sweet Jim, despite them saying they were going to find a way to keep him around. Well, keep him around they have -- he's apparently some sort of spirit living in another man's body, but sometimes he looks like Jim and sometimes he looks like the other guy, and even though he has Jim's spirit or whatever, he doesn't have his memories? So basically it seems like Melinda's moved on a to a new man who has some stuff in common with Jim, and sometimes she thinks he looks like Jim, but he's really not anything at all like Jim? I just can't even bring myself to watch to see if that is what is really happening, but with what I've pieced together, that seems to be the gross and annoying gist of it.
If you have been unable to quit this show -- I still watch a lot of crap that I should have given up on (Grey's Anatomy, Degrassi, and Ugly Betty) in the vain hope that they will return to the show that I once remembered -- I understand. Anyway, if you are still following it, tonight's the night that Melinda tells not-Jim that she can see and talk to dead people. Chances are, this is not going to go well. I might tune in just to see if this show is as ridiculous as it sounds like it has become. So disappointing. Remember when all anyone talked about when they referenced this show was Jennifer Love Hewitt's cleavage? Could we find a happy medium please? Oh wait, happy Medium... yeah, I'd rather be watching that similarly themed show instead... and that's saying a lot because I really don't like some of her annoying kids.
If you are looking for something else to watch (and I pretty much hope that you are) check out our week in preview. There are alternatives. I swear.

I actually started watching this show right around the end of last season due to your enthusiasm, watced all the reruns I could find all summer and I'm still watching.
The Jim thing isn't as bad as I thought it would be. She wanted him to cross and repeatedly told him to do it but he kept saying he couldn't leave her. So he jumped into a guy (Sam) who was dying at a car accident.
They hardly ever show Sam, it's Jim as Sam, you only see Sam's face occasionally in a reflection. SamJim woke up with complete amnesia and hasn't really remembered any of his former life. He has remembered some of Jim's (paramedic training, a connection with Melinda). Of course Melinda told Delia, Jamie Kennedy and Delia's kid that it's Jim inside Sam so they all act weird around him and help her cover when she has to dash off to ghost hijinks.
Melinda's been trying to get him to remember being Jim because she's still in love with him but it hasn't quite worked, he just feels a connection to her and now they are dating. I think they did a fairly good job of showing that Melinda thought Jim should cross and what he did was wrong but she can't let him go now that she has this second chance with him.
I don't think JimSam will believe her or accept it but will just consider it part of her flakiness.
What I don't get is why they felt the need to do that. Jim and Melinda were a happy couple and it was so nice to see a happily married couple. They should have just let well enough alone.
The answer of an exrpet. Good to hear from you.
