I hate the Ghost Whisperer

Maybe it’s because I’m a former catholic, but I feel like I must confess to my at least one of my pop culture sins. I love/hate/love The Ghost Whisperer.

I can’t justify it, but I will try to explain. The show isn’t very good, far from it actually. However, I seem to find myself watching it every week.

I was first trapped by the show because of my love of the Friday night post work nap. I’d find myself napping in front of the tv and then waking up with the GW already in progress and getting sucked in. What started off as an occasional one night stand with the GW has, sadly, turned into a full blown relationship. For this I have much shame. Just the other day I added GW to my tivo, MY TIVO, my sacred, sacred Tivo.

I think what I like about the show is how much it annoys me. I love hating it. My biggest issue with the show is that the main character Melinda (J. Love Hewitt, or Hugetits according to Dre/Goon) speaks to the dead but she never repeats what they have said verbatim. She always puts it in her own words, and its crazy annoying. I mean, come on now Hugetits, if I bother to defy a normal death and come back and haunt my loved ones, I think the least you can do is take a fucking message correctly. I mean, is that really so hard to ask? I’ll see if I can find a youtube clip of this, its sooo annoying.

I also hate Hugetits because she has a kick ass craftsman style house. I want that house damnit. I don’t understand where the hell they live that a fireman and some weird ass antique shop owner can afford this giant beautiful house, but some how they do. Let alone this town they live in, which is basically on some sort of hell mouth, is even more sickeningly sweet than that damn town on the Gilmore Girls.

Lets see, what else? I also hate her wardrobe, she’s always wearing these low cut blouses when hanging around with kids; I mean put a shirt on lady. Additionally, she dresses in this bizarre retro fifties porno housewife style, poofy skirts and slutty tops and don’t even get me started on her fake eyelashes and four tons of eyeliner. I will say her husband is hot. I’d like to have a job where I run a store that no one shops in but I can have a hot husband and a kickass house – fucking bitch! See, I hate her but I love hating her. She lives in this small town, yet no one ever seems to notice that the hot lady who owns the antique shop is always talking to herself in public?

Well, there is tons more about this show which annoys me, but really it’s me with the problem. I love the Ghost Whisper because I like ghost stuff and being a bitch. The end.
