Ghost of a chance

Who you gonna call? Well, CBS has dialed up the North Royalton paranormal investigator known as Mary Ann. The No. 1 network has given the green light to a pilot episode for a drama series starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as a character based on the ghost-hunting Mary Ann.

"I think they're going after a younger audience," Mary Ann said during a telephone interview. "I'm really flattered by the choice of actresses, but you've got to automatically knock about 30 years off my age to get to Jennifer Love Hewitt. And as far as looks are concerned, let me tell you, not on my best day would I be confused with Jennifer Love Hewitt."

Produced by Touchstone Television and tentatively titled "The Ghost Whisperer," the pilot introduces Hewitt's character as a ghostbuster and antiques dealer married to a paramedic. The success of NBC's "Medium," with Patricia Arquette as psychic Allison DuBois, has the networks making a spirited attempt to find shows based on paranormal investigators.

You don't need a psychic to learn the fate of "The Ghost Whisperer." We'll find out if this pilot goes to series when CBS announces its fall lineup on May 18. But if you want that psychic, remember that James Van Praagh is one of the show's creators.

"There's no question that this is all happening because of 'Medium,' " Mary Ann said. "Everybody out there is looking for the next thing in this area. This all came about because of my friendship with James Van Praagh. I've known James for a very long time, and he asked me if I'd be interested in this. But James is a medium, like Allison DuBois. I'm a paranormal investigator."

What's the difference?

"James communicates with spirits who have crossed over," Mary Ann said. "I see spirits who are earthbound. He can't see what I see. I can't see what he sees."

Same here. It would be great to see her on TV every week again. I also wouldn't want for her to have 2 shows in a row that never made it past a pilot.

Well, you'd wonder if psychics would even bother with a show that wouldn't make it, right ;) ?

I think the show can be good, but even if it is the worst thing ever (apart from Love, of course), I'd be happy to be able to see her on TV regularly ;) .

Thanks for the news [img]smile.gif[/img] !

I give Love all my best. I hope the show gets picked up. I love shows about the paranormal. [img]graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] Adding Love to that makes it even better.

I don't get it, if shows like The Parkers and What I Like About You can make it, how can they not even give Love a chance of airing a few episodes and seeing how it fairs. Hopefully someone will have enough sense and greenlight this show, not exactly my first choice of a genre for her but I will take anything now if it means getting her back on T.V.
