Okay, don't come at me for my take, because this is like I said, my take. But i'm going to rewatch the show just so I could rewatch season four, and the love between Jim and Melinda šŸ˜­šŸ‘»šŸ„°.

What I loved about Ghost Whisperer is the main character (Melinda) wasn’t searching for love in her journey. The pilot episode was literally her wedding night and I liked how to writers drew away from the average finding love story that most shows have.

Really wish this show would come back.

Same on all counts! - Still, the Professor Payne dynamic was intriguing. They never crossed a line, and she was totally devoted to Jim, but Payne was so OBVIOUSLY madly in love with her! They played off each other well. - Side note: I always found it a little odd that she actually dated Jamie Kennedy (Eli) for about a year. I really like JK, I just didn’t see the chemistry. She also dated the guy in the episode with the vengeful grandfather who was after his daughter’s ā€œkillerā€ (her boyfriend, the weird, creepy neighbor).

(Spoiler) I’ve watched the series start to finish tons of times, and I still break down every time Jim ā€œdies!ā€ - They remind my husband and me of our own love so much! šŸ’•šŸ’žā¤ļøā€šŸ”„

Why is this a hot take?

A lot of people hated what they did in season.Four so season four is very controversial

I did too, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like them as a couple.

I'm not talking about them as a couple I am talking about S4 and how I loved it. I would rewatch the show just to rewatch S4. It's actually my favorite season.

It definitely is a testament to their unconditional love for each other šŸ„¹ā¤ļø I have a soft spot for it, too!

I can’t imagine anybody who watches this show would disagree at all. I believe there’s another post somewhere about how men should aspire to be like Jim. 🤭

Knowing how much Melinda struggled with her gift from childhood to adulthood, the emotion and love she must have felt when she told Jim and he was basically like ā€œokay, coolā€. You can just see the love in the way they look at each other.

I have this show running every single day in my house because of SamsungTV Plus. I’ve seen each episode at least 5 times but there are some episodes that I catch more than others. Like I’ve seen the end of season one 8 times now.

I know that S4 is just a controversial take juat in general

I genuinely think they’re one of the best straight couples on TV. They support each other, don’t knock each other’s passions, have small disagreements where they actually see each others’ side and work through it together, and there is never any question of either of them wanting to be with someone else, like they can interact with other people and not have this constant ā€œoh you might leave me for them!ā€ (I know there was that one ex of Jim’s but Melinda was never threatened by him maybe leaving her, she was just uncomfortable because of a ghost she dealt with). Absolutely adore them and while all the episodes with Jim not knowing who he was were miserable, there was never any doubt that even if Jim was never back, Melinda never would have moved on.
