Favorite Things: If Loving Melinda Gordon is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right.

My name is Melinda Gordon. I'm married, I live in a small town, and I own an antique shop. I might be just like you except that from the time I was a little girl I knew I could talk to the dead. 'Earthbound spirits' my grandmother called them. They're stuck here because they have unfinished business with the living and they come to me for help. In order to tell you my story, i have to tell you theirs.

Chock it up to bad judgement and temporary insanity brought on by maternity leave, but I  can't get enough of Ghost Whisperer!

1.  It's the perfect thing to watch during 2AM feedings.

2.  David Conrad plays her husband Jim and he is nice to look at.  See?

3.  It's something to watch Jennifer Love Hewitt turn on the waterworks on every episode.  Seriously, the lady must be able to cry at the drop of a hat.  See photo above.

4.  I love the painted striped walls in her house.

5.  In later seasons, when Melinda's closet is thankfully devoid of throwbacks to the Victorian era, she has a wardrobe worth coveting.

6.  Oh, and the story-lines are, for the most part, interesting.  The end of Season 3, for example, had me thrown for a loop and reaching for my tissues.  

I've read some viewer reviews that call the show "formulaic drivel."  And it's true to an extent.  Each episode gets tied up in a vintage grosgrain bow at the end and Jennifer Love's hair is never mussed.  But, you know what?  Sometimes I need a little drivel.    

It's available on Netflix Watch Instantly.  I am currently lapping up Season 4.

No judgement.
