Ghost Whisperer is an American television drama-fantasy-thriller about a young woman who can communicate with the spirits of the dead. The show was created by John Gray and is produced by Sander/Moses Productions in association with Touchstone Television & CBS Paramount Television. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, David Conrad and Camryn Manheim (beginning with the second episode of Season 2, which began September 22). The series is based on the work of James Van Praagh, who is a co-executive producer and posts to a blog about the show hosted by CBS. The stories are also said to be based in part on the work of Spirit Communicator Mary Ann Wintkowski.
This list is for all the shows that, for one reason or another, I liked way more than the average person. Some of these I can tell are objectionably bad, but I like them anyway, and some I just can't put my finger on why I enjoyed them at all.
Best of this List: Save Me
Worst of this List: Persons Unknown
Explanations: Dads - better jokes than I thought the writers could muster
Galavant - I'm not sure, it was just so different and happy and doofy that I was kind of forced to like it
Ghost Whisperer - It was just on for so long and also Jennifer Love-Hewitt
Glee - It was a random phenomenon that I think went on a little too long, but had some fun characters and performances
Hot in Cleveland - That all-star cast and those cameos I guess. Also Betty White being an asshole to everyone else is always funny
Leverage - Probably because it was on for so long that I just started to like the characters enough
The Lying Game - Those twin deception shows just really get me I guess, and the cast was fun with surprisingly good chemistry
No Tomorrow - Again, not sure. Maybe it's my soft spot for Joshua Sasse
Persons Unknown - I'm not sure why I like this so much. I've even re-watched it like multiple times. I guess I just really like the premise, and wish it kept getting developed
Raising Hope - That cast and just being fun and dysfunctional
Reaper - Probably the weirdly obvious plot that I wish more shows would tackle with their own unique spins
Red Band Society - Not sure, I guess bringing attention to the kids who live their lives in hospitals was pretty interesting
Revolution - Another really fun premise and cast that was wasted by trying to be the next Lost-type mega drama. Also the absurd nano-plot and that hilarious body count!!!
Save Me - It was too funny, and I don't know why anyone else didn't feel the same way!
Sirens - It was just surprisingly sweet and gave a surprising amount of depth to some unique side-characters
Terra Nova - Fun premise with dinosaurs and because of my support for Jason O'Mara
Touch - Another cool premise with some off-kilter execution that could have been pretty interesting
Trophy Wife - My expectations were so low and it really just surprised me with how open the characters were
Vegas - Jason O'Mara again I guess??? I might have a problem
Wayward Pines - That first season was just really fun with a really exciting conspiracy plot
Concluded series that were love! (:
This list contains shows that lasted for multiple seasons. Some deserved the lengthened run more so than others, but they all got that elusive renewal.
Best of this List: Ghost Whisperer
Worst of this List: Harry's Law
Shout-Outs: About a Boy for being far more decent than it should have been, also way to stick 3 seasons David Walton!
Galavant for turning Lassie into a singing prince
Ghost Whisperer for being so cheesy but so watchable for some reason
Happily Divorced for telling Fran Drescher's hilarious real-life story in a pretty decent way
Harry's Law for somehow lasting 2 seasons
Impastor and the Jim Gaffigan Show for helping to start TV Land's original programming
Kyle XY for being from that fun time of weird ABC Family dramas before Freeform turned things vapid and overly-emotional
The Lying Game for doing that twin deception thing, but actually making it pretty fun
The Real O'Neals for being really, really gay in a kind of annoying way
Reaper for having an oddly fun premise and character cast
Togetherness for trying to be funny, and dramatic, and poignant, and heart-warming, and cathartic, but not really doing any of them well
Touch for bringing an inventive and surprisingly engaging plot to TV
Up All Night for giving an all-star cast some okay material
V for doing some pretty fun and not overly heavy-handed alien stuff
