JLH sees dead people

Ghost Whisperer is the first new TV project for JLH in a while, and if you've seen the commercials for it you know exactly what's up.
It's like The Sixth Sense, only not as scary, and no bizarre plot twists. Actually a reasonably entertaining show, JLH has insane bangs and there's practically zero comic relief. They make some odd attempt to freak you out with ghosts appearing and dream sequences, and JLH herself has some awkward acting moments, but it's okay.
Well, there is one kind of hilarious scene where JLH acts as interpreter between the dead and the living, repeating everything the dead guy says. I guess this is supposed to be dramatic though, cause people are crying. hmm.

Also of note, the only two other major actors in the show are JLH's husband Jim, played by Michael from Miss Match, and her co-worker/friend Andrea, played by Charlie (Ross's love interest in the last season) from Friends. I think I get more kicks out of identifying actors in these new shows than watching the show itself.
