Did You Know?
Trivia | The show was filmed entirely on the "Universal Studios" back lot in Hollywood. The town square is the same central place that was used in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. Subsequentially, Tom Wilson, who played Biff Tannen in the trilogy, has been known to pop up now and then in the show. See more » |
Goofs | Several times throughout the show Melinda denies being psychic, at one point even remarking that "psychics see the future" (even though she technically had seen glimpses of the future by that point). Psychic is a very broad term that covers a range of abilities, of which the ability to see and hear ghosts is one. Besides ghost whisperer, another term for it is a medium or psychic medium, so despite her protests and apparent ignorance of the subject, Melinda is, in fact, psychic. While this might seem to be a "Character error" goof, it really isn't. Melinda has her beliefs of what a psychic is, and she does not believe that corresponds to her "abilities". Whether she is a "psychic" by the technical definition or not, it does not constitute a Goof as she is consistent in her beliefs. See more » |
