.....is now one of the best TV shows I've ever seen.

The writing for this show in phenomenal.

Caveat: You'd think the husband would just believe everything she says...at this point.

What's it about?
Mother of 3 daughters gets a job a working for the DA as a legal assistant and is clairvoyant.

The show is nice 'cause it shows the dynamic of home life.

Wife, husband, 3 kids, who's gonna pick her up from school, honey stop wearing those boots all the time, husband justs wants normal life, etc.....

Each show starts off with a dream and her waking up...............

Example. Imagine you are looking out from childs eyes.

1st scene: viewing from the back seat, a black guy is driving and says, "It'll be alright. We're almost there." It's a nice easy going tone.

All of a sudden a cop pull him over. His tone and face changes, "You better not say a word." Cop comes up, tells him he has a busted tail light, see the child, and the black guys says, "Yeah she's tired. Just gettin' her home." Cops lets him go. Fade out.

This is seen from the girl's eyes.

2nd scene: All you see is a decrepit ceiling, R&B love music is playing. Then the black guy appears in the view with his shirt off and kneels closer towards the camera.

Fade out,

3rd scene: View from inside a hole. Black guy appears in view with a shovel. Dirt starts covering the camera. You hear the girl coughing.:(

Fade out

Patricia Arquette wakes up.

This is the beginning of one episode.

I also forgot...she can see dead people.

Stay away from Ghost Whisperer it is a G-rated rip-off Medium. I took it off my TIVO after 3 episodes.

Sounds good. I don't believe in all that shit, but then again, I don't believe in Cylons neither - and I could do with something to fill the vaucous chasm left by various mid-season breaks.

Also, I'm stil shocked that Weeds series has ended on episode ten :o

Shit I didn't TIVO it. They may have it on On Demand or repeat it this week.

Medium is just so well made.

One episode she dreams she's in some weird pastel video dancing around to "I Will Survive." When she wakes up the music is still playing and she thinks there's a radio on, realizes it's in her head, even takes a bath dips her head underwater....and the song's still on LOUD. So loud in fact that for the first 15 minutes of show, everyone that talks to her is subtitled.

Later she (after the sound is gone, I won't tell how) shakes a certain person's hand and the song comes back on but very deep and scary like......

Its a bit wishy-washy. Lots of clean-cut americans doing the right thing and all that. Its ok if you cant or don't want to think too much but I find it a bit bland. Like a mouthful of mashed potato with no salt or pepper.

Really? The stuff in the show is almost never CaptainObvious. The family is an average family. Their children doesn't have to be on drugs or anything.:lol: :lol:

What shows do you like?

Don't get me wrong, I quite like it but it does not bother me if I miss it. I think the stories are quite good and I'll watch it to the end if its on, but the woman ticks me off sometimes as she's just too "nice".

I like loads of stuff which I'll discuss wi you another time. Today my brain is peeling away from the inside of my skull. Have a good evening chaps. Tallyho.

I only brought it up 'cause I just watched this past Monday's episode and it was quite good. I couldn't figure what the office shooting meant.

I never miss it 'cause...well....I never miss any show I like. I still have 4 episodes of CSI: Miami and 4 episodes of Supernatural to watch.:(

I heard that show Small is probably better than Medium.

Supersize Me was a bit too much.
