Melinda's husband Jim was a stable part of her life. She could always talk to him about the ghosts and he believed her without question.
What happened to them trying to have a baby? It's like new writers took over midstream.
Now we have this ridiculous storyline about Jim jumping into another body. A dead body. How is he alive? Just because a spirit entered it does not make a heart pump again. The whole thing is way over my head.
There is no way to recover from this either. He's dead and cannot be brought back.
It feels more like a spooky soap opera now rather than a story about a woman who helps people to cross over.
I really wish the writers hadn't done this.

I dunno... I didn't like the bit with her brother/father and the kids with their symbolic visions.

Seems like they're back to their core theme again.

Switching Neds and losing Jay wasn't good.

How they handle Jim's death will be interesting to see. Could be a jump.

WHO WRITES THIS STUFF? I am getting sick and tired of the violent craziness on this show. People constantly being shot, hanged, drugged, poisoned...and Melinda never even cracks a smile anymore. CBS, if you're reading this: CHANGE THE FORMAT AND BRING JIM BACK.

My family has not watched since the episode in which Jim was shot. We are really disappointed in the storyline. We did not watch the following week, but we did tape the show. After reading comments on this site and CBS's, we didn't watch the tape. We did not even bother to tape last night's episode. I hope when the story is finally told, it'll be "worthwhile." If that's the case, we'll have to see it on re-runs. Right now we are relying on what we learn by the comments on the websites. For me, I don't watch much television. Ghost Whisperer was the only major network show I actually watched. I hope it all resolves soon because the more episodes we miss, the less we miss the show.

The minute Jim jumped in another body... I yelled "the show just jumped the shark"! They took a great show and ruined it. As one poster mentioned, they could have let him remain as a ghost who refuses to go into the light. And they had a great plotline about haing a baby... who I thought would have her powers too. Leave it to Hollywood to mess up a hit!

My family and I were the BIGGEST fans.Not now I think whomever wrote this years scpirts should take them and walk into the light because this show is now dead to me.

What a way to guarantee a show is killed off.
From replacing Jay Mohr with this whiny goof, to suddenly having her co-star's kid age about 10 years to killing off her husband, what a crock. What's next? Melinda wakes up and sees Bobby from Dallas in her shower asking her for help?
KILL THIS SHOW, CBS and then do not wonder why people are watching less network TV, you people are complete idiots!

OMG!!! It was stupid to kill off the part of melinda's life that was normal, but they were doing a decent job until the end. When I saw Jim jump into the dead guy's body, I actually shouted at the tv. Aaaaagh!!! When will they learn? If they just kept going, they could have probably gotten Jay Mohr back since his show is being cancelled. Then, they could make something interesting of that and get rid of jaimie Kennedy. This dead Jim love interest thing is the death of this show...RIP Ghost Whisperer. There's no way you can recover from this one.

C'mon already. Cross over and make room for another Friday night show's death.

I used to love Ghost Whisperer.This season though it seems its just one stupid thing after another.I guess it kinda started last season when they replaced Ned with a different person.But now this season is just nuts.Especially with Jim dieing and then transfering to another body.I thought Jim and Melinda were supposed to have a baby?What a way to kill a story line.

This season has been a series of jumps if you ask me.

First, she was having visions. When did she *ever* have visions in past seasons?

Then, she was inside a computer game?! What's up with that?

Next, Jay Mohr leaves and was replaced with Jamie Kennedy. Ok, so he's funny too, but it's too similar and it's like he's *trying* to fill that spot. Not a good choice.

Now, Jim dies. He's awesome and he's dead, and then he jumps into the other body. I was thinking how ridiculous it was and then I rolled my eyes when the teaser for the next episode showed her friend (Andrea's replacement) telling her this is a new chance for love. What the heck?!

Oh, and I forgot to mention how Ned is suddenly 4 years older. That would actually count as jump #1.

I am not that outraged by the death of Jim. I think it was a stupid move but was not a show killer for me. What has killed the show for me is the RIDICULOUS storyline of Jim's soul jumping into another body and CBS trying to foster a relationship between a corpse that now has Jim's soul in it and Melinda.

CBS took a risk killing off Jim but I would have continued to watch the show and see Melinda cope and then get on with her life with her gifts. Trying to keep Jim around in "spirit" in another man's body is just gross, stupid and uncalled for. This show is deleted off my DVR queue and I probably will never watch again.

Totally Jumped Shark this past episode.

I have been watching the show forever, just because it is mindless and I don't have to think about anything while I watch it.

Now it has turned to the truly ridiculous with Jim refusing to "go into the light" and now jumping into a recently deceased body to stay with Melinda. Come on, please.

To be honest, I've been an off-and-on fan of Ghost Whisperer, but the last few episodes have brought me back into the fold. Initially, I tuned in just to see if they really dared to go through with it. I was convinced with all the threat of fan backlash at the idea of losing David Conrad, it would turn out to just be a ploy to raise the ratings for a couple of episodes (which it still could be.) I watched the episode with a renewed interest in the direction of the show, and the following episode started off brilliantly. Jim as a ghost opened up opportunities to explore the "other side." Does everyone have to "cross over?" Is there a time limit? What happens if they refuse to? The show could've gone on beautifully with Jim as a ghost; learning more about Melinda then he ever could've alive. I don't know why the writers felt like they had to push the envelope.

I have to say after seeing them kill off Melinda's husband , Jim and him enter another persons dead body...I think it may have jumped than. I did really like this show. When main characters leave any program is going to suffer. That is what is happing here and now. I really loved Melinda & Jim's love story. Now are they gonna have her get with this 'new' guy? I hope not. Jim should've crossed over into the 'light'. I really liked Jay Mohers character better than this new guy. I'll watch it but I tell you if it keeps getting more strange I don't think I will be watching it anymore. I guess CBS wants this program to fail. I still can't believe they killed her husband off. Horrible writing if you ask me.
