When did Ghost Whisperer become cool?

…OK, maybe “cool” isn’t the right word, but there’s definitely something eerie about the quiet success of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Friday night drama.

Before I begin my rant, I feel I should admit that I’ve never actually watched an episode of Ghost Whisperer. As a 21-year-old in college, my Friday nights are spent, well… not watching TV. I do record The Soup for the next morning, though.

And while I may not have tuned into last Friday’s new episode of Ghost Whisperer, according to the Nielsen Overnight Ratings, 11.11 million people did! It was the most-watched show on network TV for the night. Sure it’s the saddest night in prime time, but it’s still impressive.

Am I missing something? Is it possible that I’ve been mistakenly goofing on Ghost Whisperer all these years when I really should have been loving it? If I ever find time to breathe this semester, I might check it out and give it my real verdict.

(Sidenote: I really do need to give this a shot aftering finding out that Christine Baranski plays J. Love’s mother-in-law in the first season).
