Damnit just in the interest of being thorough I checked the site again and she is hiding her bean bags from us! ---

[QUOTE=astro] Well I _had_ to stop and check it out. She was horsing around in the bedroom with some guy, but I don’t remember the dialog all that well. The scene ended and I snapped out of my stuporous trance. I go to the [show’s website](http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ghost_whisperer/), and she’s busting loose. [/QUOTE] Where? I didn’t see anything salacious dammit. ---

[QUOTE=saoirse] I think the show is based on two stereotypes that are popular in the TV industry right now. 1. Women love new-agey witchcraft shit. B. Men love big boobs.

No, she’s using her breasts to save her career. And it’s working in fine style, apparently. ---

My wife loves that show, and well, I like the show within the show if you know what I mean. My wife still hasn’t picked up that after (and during) that show I keep playing with her boobs. If she ever makes that connection I may be in trouble. Or maybe not as long as it’s hers (my wife’s) that I’m playing with. ---

I’ve been watching season one on DVD, and I’m rather liking it. I really like that the MC and her husband are happily in love, because I get tired of Hollywood using the “unhappy marriage plot device” all the time. (And they are newlyweds, so being a little googly-eyed makes sense.) I like Medium, too (only season one of that, too), though Patricia Arquette does come across as a bit whiny at times. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Can anyone who’s actually seen the show give us an assessment of its qualities (other than JLH’s rack)? E.g., is it better or worse than _Medium?_ [/QUOTE] IMHO, they both suck equally; I got through about two episodes each before I was done in by the insipid plots. ([Haunted](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320028/) was _such_ a better take on the idea of communicating with the dead!) I’m surprised that the OP thinks that The Ghost Whisperer’s audience is overwhelmingly female since the only people I know who watch regularly it are straight males. ---

I wouldn’t call it [salacious](http://web.archive.org/web/20051001014043/http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ghost_whisperer/) but the older picture was more revealing. ---
