CBS cancels 'Ghost Whisperer'

I've just finished watching the last episode in the 5th season of 'Ghost Whisperer'. Says in the subtitles that CBS has cancelled the show after the 5th season, and I was like, huh?! True, there have been moments when I thought the show was deviating way too far from where it had come, but I love Melinda and Jim. Even though I was lost about the Romano thing and Gabriel (I still don't know if he is indeed Melinda's brother, and what happened to him in the end). And somehow they just stopped talking about this hidden town beneath Melinda's store. Melinda's mother doesn't appear anymore, and Professor Rick Payne never returned from his trip. And of course, there's this kill-Jim-and-put-him-in-Sam's-body saga that drove off a lot of viewers. Ah, but this show has been with me for FIVE years, man. How can I not be saddened? Though I think the ending (if it's really the end) was pretty good... The Shinies were revealed to be ghosts of children who have gone into the light (yeah sweet little Cassidy returns in episode 22!), and they united under Aiden to save Melinda from the Shadows. I was pretty touched by that scene. And in the final scene, the Clancy family accepted that the gifts Melinda and Aiden have should be treasured. Melinda thanked Aiden for being her hero that night, and Aiden said "So are you, everyday." Awww, so sweet!

There are talks that ABC might take over the show. I hope it's true, and they'll do a good job and return to how Ghost Whisperer originally was. More emotions and less conspiracy. I used to cry watching every single episode of season 1 and 2.
