Opening Narration : "I just got married. I just moved to a small town. I just opened an antique shop. I might be just like you. Except from the time I was a little girl I knew I could talk to the dead. Earthbound spirits my grandmother called them. The ones who have not crossed over because they have unfinished business with the living and they come to me for help. To tell you my story, I have to tell you theirs."
I don't remember what initially drew me into watching this show last season, but its one show that I watch consistently thanks to my DVR box (I tell you its worth the price). Now I've never been a fan of Aisha Tyler, but I enjoyed her character on the show. I didn't appreciate them killing the sistuh off, but what really bothers me is who they replaced her with. Now Camryn Manheim (I had to look up her name, but its better than referring to her as Law & Order chick) is playing the character Deliah who's quit her real estate job to come work at the antique shop with Melinda. Kidding, right? Antique shop vs. real estate? And Melinda told her up front that she couldn't pay her much. But getting to the point, what exactly is her character bringing to the show? Yes, she has a pre-teen son who causes her problems from time to time. Yes, she can look up old addresses for the ghosts when Melinda vaguely requests. No, she doesn't look as nice as she does in that picture on the show. I already know before the season is out that they're going to have an episode where Melinda tells her about her gift. Please. Predictable and boring.
And why do the ghosts on every episode have to be so angry? Every time the ghost comes in tearing some stuff up or doing something supposedly scary. The overdone horror factor is becoming a bit much now. Now I'm guessing that if the ghosts haven't crossed over yet that the reason they're so angry is because they have final things to do. Ok. Fine. But can one of the ghosts just politely ask Melinda for help? Why not have a historical ghost or something.
