Hello there, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Camryn Manheim, and everyone else involved in Ghost Whisperer (except for Jamie Kennedy),
I've been a loyal watcher of this show since it started (and I'm not even nearly as embarrassed about that fact as I should be). I've stood by as you killed off Aisha Tyler. I suffered when Jay Mohr left (admittedly not your fault since he got that new sitcom gig). I tried to let Jamie Kennedy grow on me, even though I really can't stand him or his whiny character. I was skeptical when you killed off Melinda and then brought her back to life. I've watched the entirety of JLH's alternately bizarre and revealing parade of fashion. I went with you on some really weird story arcs. In fact, I don't think I've ever missed an episode.
I've interviewed the delightful Ms. Hewitt and the charming Ms. Manheim and even guest stars, all in support of this sweet show that just doesn't get enough love.
But now you've gone and done it. You killed off Jim. The single most amazing husband on television. He's hot, hard-working, extremely understanding and just wonderful. It doesn't hurt that he's played by the amazing David Conrad, who I have had a crush on since back in his Relativity days. (God, I miss that show.)
I had heard the rumors around the internet for a while that this is the direction the show was going in. I chose to live in a state of denial until I saw it with my very own eyes last week. It has taken me this whole time to actually kind of wrap my head around it. While the commercials for this week's episode lead me to believe that Jim will be sticking around in ghostly form, that doesn't make me feel any better at all. First, Melinda's entire gimmick is crossing people over, so keeping her husband as a ghost does away with her whole "you need closure" mantra. Second, that same storyline is sucking the life out of Izzie on Grey's Anatomy. And you made me watch an entire season about how much the two of them wanted to try to have a baby, only to go and kill off the potential father?!? If she's pregnant, she's now got to raise the kid on her own. If she's not, now she's going to be doubly miserable. This is just not good. Not good at all.
I've been giving it some thought this week, while I was going to keep watching to see how things play out. I want to have faith that it will work out. That someone over there knows what they are doing and this isn't just the worst decision ever. But after a lot of soul-searching, I've decided I'm going to pull off the band-aid and just be done with it. I'm sorry. I used to really enjoy snuggling up on my couch on Friday nights and watching this feel-good show, but now I'm not feeling good any more. In fact, I'm feeling quite bad. And I've got an entire TiVo's worth of The Shield and Sons of Anarchy, I could be watching if I wanted to feel bad about the world.
So I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. I'm sorry I won't be along for the ride.
Sincerly,
Angel Cohn, a longtime fan

I'm right there with you. This show is over for me.
Oh come on .. now that he's a Ghost, he can help her solve some mysteries, he can see ghosts too AND he can go where she can't ... She can see Jim, everyone else sees the dead guy, which, BTW makes no sense if that's the idea, because if the dead guy's body was dead for the first guy, then how can it work for Jim .. oh never mind, this will work out!

I watch the show only because
of JLH.
"GW" HAS "jumped the shark".
And worse..."Jim's" soul now
inhabits ANOTHER person's body...yuck...
I Too was a fan since day one..but I'm done now!!! lost interest. I will miss snuggling with my husband on Friday nights while we watch GW..This is a huge!! Mistake!! I can't take the GW anymore. I will miss all the actors as well. Good bye GW.
Jumped the shark, the ghost, whatever. Now they sent Jim to find and ex-g/f? C'mon-how stupid do producers think we are? And why does he have absolutely no memory of Melinda and is no one asking her why this stranger(he's in someone elses body) is hanging around, talking like Jim? I'm with you-changing the channel on Fridays. Too much drama. James Van Pragh's brain's on permanent hiatus after jumping the shark. G'bye cruel GW world!! Ex Watcher in TN
Same here man. I've never been THAT avid of a fan but it had really grown on me. Then the stupid detective shoots at two shadows in the window, and the excuse was that he'd just lost his kid? Yeah sure trauma's a big issue, but NOBODY would have done what he did. That was just ridiculous. anyway I forgave all that, I mean screw it as long as Jim eventually comes back. AND HE ACTUALLY DOES YAY! By...hopping into another guy's body..oh joy. Also isn't that kind of mean spirited as well? The family has no idea their son's soul has actually crossed over and some other dude is inhabitting the body.
Yeah.
And then the whole dating all over again thing with Melinda? No thanks, I was always glad they didn't do the whole angsty relationship thing. Part of the appeal was just having the two of them be together just the way they were. Dealing with ghosts is sad enough on its own, let melinda have her damn peace with her droolworthy husband thank you very much.
I don't understand why you are so angry and disappointed ! Jim is alive through Sam ! Sam is Jim ! Jim and Melinda still are in love, they have a baby now ! 5 years later they are still there ! So what's the problem ? David Conrad is always in the show and for sure is always gorgeous ! It's just fiction guys !
