>>If anything, I think this show took a page out of 'Psych's' book.

How do you figure that? In Psych you have a guy pretending to be psychic on here you have a guy pretending that he doesn't see hallucinations of dead people.

I like how the dead person can't give any real clues to Raines. The dead person only knows what he knows. Unlike ghosts, who always frustrate me because I yell at the TV "JUST TELL THEM THE MURDERER. IT'S AS EASY AS THAT." Why have the power to talk to ghosts if they can't tell you anything important?

This can't be a ripoff of Medium. Raines has more humor than Medium. :D

Blackhawk, I get what you're saying, but you did a terrible job expressing your initial point. There are plent other crime tv shows that follow the basis of solving crimes. Thats kinda...the point.

You're mistaken, and in upper case.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
