its basically about this woman who can see ghosts and she helps them MOVE ON by telling thier families they love them or if its a murder by putting the killer to justice

heres what annoys me
1) you can tell she is getting pissed off because they always appear at akward times
2) its full of Z-list celebs such as ross's girlfriend from 'friends' or that black guy from 'evolution'
3) the premise is OK at best but they can only do so many things. this means every episode has the same story
4) when someone is murder she interferes with crimescenes and tells the police that she has spoken to the victim spirtually, if i was the police chief id arrest her for tampering with evidence and wasting police time but they just believe her.
5) when shes talking to the ghosts families she acts as a translator between the two BUT the viewer can see and hear the ghost but this woman changes the grammar and wording of what they say (fair enough if it was a foriegn ghost), this annoys me so much

BTW my mum was watching it and i was in the room at the time

does anyone else hate this program, i know there is alot worse things on TV but somehow this just really annoys me

edit: one redeeming feature is that the woman is hot

It's not just you. I find it insufferable as well. However, I find it insufferable because of the poor storytelling and terrible acting, not because of any of the understandable plot devices you mentioned.

I alternate between oogling love Hewwitt's(spellcheck) cleavage and making fun of the story.

I never saw it because, quite simply, it's a steamin pile of nutty brown bull shit. I know it's fake, but come on. Usually if anyone says they can see ghosts or whatever we lock their stupid ass away or give them a tv show for 3 seasons(I'M LOOKIN AT YOU SCIFI!)than cancel it. but suddenly it's not only OK, but she solves crimes? Pass.

yeah the program is amusing to make fun of, but when it comes to the translation bit i go into a fit of rage, and im surprised the ghost doesnt

I hate it with the white hot intensity of a thousand sun, so does the rest of my family (except for my mom) guess that sort of hatred run's in the family

I used to watch it, but I lost interest. It's a show to sit back and take in, thinking about it will make you hate it. I can understand why people don't like it, but the reasons in the OP are a bit stupid (for lack of a better word).

This is my biggest pet peeve on these forums and well in pretty much anything.
NO FOR FUCKS SAKE NO. NO NEVER is it just you, out of the 7 billion people in the world, I'm sure there is at least a few people out there the feel the same freaking way.

As for the show I've seen like half an episode and now I refuse to watch that shit.

Haha I totally agree with number 5! I watched a few of the beginning episodes but after that it was really repetitive and predictable.

Reasons why Ghost Whisperer is so popular

Jennifer Love Hewitt in a nightie every episode.
...

Yeah, that's about it.
Pretty much it in a nutshell. She is smoking hot

That show is crap but it least it tries to be good. All these other shows about ghosts are just a bunch of jackasses going "What the hell was that?" every time a they see the slightest bit of movement.

I only watch the Dog Whisperer...

(Not that I'm not religous but I always figured spirits were just another made up thing from the human mind)
