(S05E09) "I have a bad feeling about this one. A very bad feeling." - Melinda about the ghost in the closet
Melinda's bad feeling was, pardon the pun, dead on. Very bad things happened in this November Sweeps episode: Aiden was put in danger, the dead girl from the closet was front and center, the Shadows came back full force and in a way we hadn't see yet, Bedford gave more warnings to Eli, as a hurting Carl the Watcher gave warnings to Melinda.

(S05E08) "How did you find this one?" - Det. Sam Blair to Melinda and Eli
Eli and Melinda quickly came up with a fake story as to why they often discover bodies or are around crime scenes. Detective Blair bought it this time but it wouldn't surprising if she decides to dig a little deeper to get real answers. After years of being around deceased, one would expect that the Grandview police would start investigating why Melinda, and now Eli, are involved in a lot of their cases, no?
While we wait for Det. Blair to start to investigate Melinda and Eli, we are treated to one of the wackiest and lightest episode of the season thanks to Greg Germann and Perrey Reeves guesting on the episode.

(S05E07) "The answers are there, but you have to know when to look." - Carl the Watcher
Starting this week,
TV Squad now offers regular reviews of CBS'
Ghost Whisperer. What an episode to start reviews with! The first episode of November Sweeps offered us more backstory and mythology about the shadows, some of their powers, the book ... and Jennifer Love Hewitt in lingerie doing some pole dancing!
We were also treated to a case of the week that kept us guessing as to who was to blame for the death of now-ghost Tina and what secret Dr. Morgan and President Bedford were hiding.

Welcome to TV Squad Ten, a new semi-weekly feature where we list ten fun things about the current state of TV.Before writing my thoughts on
Ghost Whisperer's Sam (aka Jim 2.0), I wanted to give the
new character a chance. Now that the last episode before the Holiday hiatus has aired, it's time for me to weigh in on Sam and how his relationship with Melinda is working.
I could have easily written a "10 reasons why Jim 2.0 will not work out" (
Sam is no Jim being the first reason on my list) but I want to stay positive about the series and feel like
the hours I've put in catching up these past months will not have been for nothing. So here we go with 10 reasons why Jim 2.0 will work out in the end and why this twist is helping the show.

The show
Ghost Whisperer is no stranger to major changes in its status quo. They wrapped up their first season by having Jennifer Love Hewitt's Melinda Gordon lose her best friend Andrea (Aisha Tyler), only to have to deal with her spirit to launch the second season. It made for an emotionally powerful episode and a tragedy that drove Melinda into that new year.
Michael Ausiello, who is generally pretty spot-on with his rumors, dropped a pretty big bombshell of some possible happenings early on in this upcoming season. Now I've already admitted on this very site that
Ghost Whisperer is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I've had the joy of growing up with Jennifer Love Hewitt from her days on
Party of Five and she's still just too gosh-darned cute to stop watching now. And dammit if the writers don't know how to pull the heartstrings in almost every episode, too. But now ... well, we'll talk about it after the jump.

As you may have already read,
I went to the set of Ghost Whisperer on Thursday, October 18th at Universal Studios. There I got an interview with the producers, a visit to the
Ghost Whisperer stages, and a sneak peak at the Halloween episode. What I neglected to mention (because the producers asked those in attendance not to write about this until they released the information on October 22) was that Orlando Jones would be joining the cast of
Ghost Whisperer this season.

On Thursday October 18th, I attended a blogger event for CBS at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. After waiting a surprisingly long time to clear security (all the while the security guard kept my driver's license with him), I finally started my tour of the
Ghost Whisperer stages. Along with a tour of the show's set, the press event also included interviews with the executive producers, a sneak preview of the Halloween episode (airing October 26th), and a tour of the show's back lot (in the context of the
Universal Studios R.I.P. experience). Completely unrelated to
Ghost Whisperer but interesting all the same, we got a sneak preview of
How to Survive a Horror Movie: All the Skills to Dodge the Kills and an interview with writer/director Seth Grahame-Smith.

David E. Kelley, TV Warrior, is all kinds of busy these days. He is working with FOX on a new comedy about a group of jurors who are sequestered in a motel during a high-profile trial. The network has committed to shoot a pilot of the untitled show. He also recently supervised another comedy pilot for FOX, called
Five Finger Discount, and he created a half-hour spin-off of
The Practice for star Camryn Manheim. However, his top priority these days is
Life on Mars, a sci-fi drama he's creating for ABC (based on the British version). Oh, and he's married to Michelle Pfeiffer.

Is anyone still watching
Ghost Whisperer? I guess enough people must have tuned in to see Jennifer Love Hewitt confab with the netherworld because the show is coming back for a second season, though this time Hewitt's best pal will be played by Camryn Manheim rather than Aisha Tyler, whose character was written off the show in the season finale. Apparently they've been trying to get Manheim to do the show for awhile now, and they must have finally convinced her. Manheim was previously on
The Practice and recently appeared in episodes of
The L Word on Showtime.
