The show has the required happy ending, with the birth mother admitting how much she thought of her adopted son over the years. The ghostly adolescent also realized, in death, how much he appreciated and loved the woman who adopted him and raised him with as much love as any biological mother. The birth mother was also jolted by the entire communication from the dead enough that she gained a new love for her living daughter and vowed to see her through the unwanted pregnancy.
While my adult self seems to be pooh-poohing The Ghost Whisperer as totally unentertaining, I must point out that young people from about age 10 through age 16 would likely find this series very entertaining.
Young people this age are not as cynical as this adult woman. They've yet to have to make a living and struggle with finances at so precious an age.
For them, The Ghost Whisperer would likely intrigue and entertain just fine. Which is why the show should prosper during this "family hour."

There's something charmingly retarded about this show. And I find Hewitt's bizarre makeup, unbrushed hair and ridiculous and amateurishly applied false eyelashes somehow strangely entrancing.

When exactly did Kelly Monaco change her name to Jennifer Love Hewitt? Alternately, when did Jennifer Love Hewitt appear on "Dancing With The Stars"?

"searches made easier" is wordy, which makes it confusing. I take it the bureaucrat knows Hewitt's character has the gift that she does. Other than this snag, the review isn't bad.

why was this review corrected regarding your thinking that Love was on "Dancing with the Stars", but your factually inaccurate Notable Quotables is alllowed to stand as is?

I'm in my late 30s and actually love Ghost Whisperer. I'm college educated, an executive in my field and overall considered very accomplished. Although the particular episode that you viewed was a bit overly dramatic, I do find tha the shows are generally quite witty and do a good job of making those with open minds wonder....'what if'...
I strongly suggest giving the show another viewing.

That particular episode is nonetheless one of the average Ghost Whisperer episode. Jennifer Love Hewitt does a great job playing her character. She's gorwn into a great actress anyway. And while the show is growing, it should get the right credits it deserves.
I'm 20 yrs old who watch the show with my 60+yr old grandma and my 45yr old mom and dad. See! It's a great show!
