Trivia
The show was filmed entirely on the "Universal Studios" back lot in Hollywood. The town square is the same central place that was used in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. Subsequentially, Tom Wilson, who played Biff Tannen in the trilogy, has been known to pop up now and then in the show.

Goofs
Several times throughout the show Melinda denies being psychic, at one point even remarking that "psychics see the future" (even though she technically had seen glimpses of the future by that point). Psychic is a very broad term that covers a range of abilities, of which the ability to see and hear ghosts is one. Besides ghost whisperer, another term for it is a medium or psychic medium, so despite her protests and apparent ignorance of the subject, Melinda is, in fact, psychic.

While this might seem to be a "Character error" goof, it really isn't. Melinda has her beliefs of what a psychic is, and she does not believe that corresponds to her "abilities". Whether she is a "psychic" by the technical definition or not, it does not constitute a Goof as she is consistent in her beliefs.

Quotes
[repeated line during credits]
Melinda Gordon: In order for me to tell you my story, I have to tell you theirs.

Involving

When I first heard of this show I thought it would be the most ridiculous thing ever. But I have this habit of disliking really good shows at first. The thing about it that caught my eye and made me want to watch it was the theme song; the imagery was fascinating and the song was slightly haunting. Appropriate, I thought.

The show is about a woman who can communicate with spirits. She lives with her husband and owns an antique shop. I loved the idea that it was a husband and wife show -- there are so few of those. It's sweet.

I highly recommend this to someone who doesn't mind some extremely sappy moments, wants a little mystery, and is looking for a really cool theme song!
