Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1 (1 Viewer)

[Matt Hough]

I have enjoyed the American "Ghosts" I was a bit disappointed in the latest episode, "Trevor's Pants". It was OK but not the best episode.

The odd thing is that for hundreds of years the ghosts have remained the same . Nothing happened to them until Jay and Samantha came to live in the house and in the short period they have lived there all of the sudden there is much growth in how the ghosts relate to each other..

They had no one to relate to until someone came into the house who could communicate with them. All of a sudden with Sam as an intermediary, the world was opened up to them again and they could in fact be a part of things again. Thus, we've seen growth of their characters begin again.

I thought the episode was terrific. Funny and also poignant giving us a sweet perspective on Trevor whom we had thought up until now was just a douche Wall Street himbo. I still think "Pete's Wife" was the best episode, but I loved this one a lot.

My favorite episode was the one with Hetty's husband. I still have it on my DVR. The show is off again next week and then there are only 2 episodes left this season for a total of 18.

Here is a video of the cast finding out that the show has been renewed for a second season.

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, I liked that one, too, and the climactic shock near the end was one of the true season highlights, I still have it on my DVR, too.

It has been a fun season so far. This is the only half hour comedy I've been watching this season.

Yes, more depth to Trevor in the most recent episode. It will be interesting to see where they go in season 2.

Vudu has the first season on sale in HD for $6.99 so I bought it and binged a bunch of episodes this evening including the pilot and the second episode, neither of which I had saved on the DVR. Great to see it all unfold again. I had forgotten what the head of the headless biker looked like, so that was certainly fun to revisit. Also didn't have to worry about fast forwarding through commercials.

Great deal. Thanks for the heads up.

Here is a BFI discussion (similar to Paley Center show talks) with the cast of the British version of "Ghosts". Six of the actors are also writers on the show. 4 of the six are on this panel. They do mention the US version a little toward the end. The writers are executive producers on the US version but have limited input. They shot down the possibilty of a crossover between the 2 shows. They have started filming a 4th series of the show. The British version airs on HBOMAX in the US.

Another good episode of Ghosts. I wonder if Stephanie, the teen ghost will wake up and become a regular next season . They need some conflict and now all the regular ghosts and livings seem in complete harmony.

 

[Matt Hough]

Loved the episode (as I have most of them). Despite having such a cruel trick played on her, Sam rose above it and became a helpful friend to the snotty Stephanie. And I loved the running gag with Trevor resisting her and continuing his infatuation with Samantha (looking at her so longingly when she came down the stairs in her coral gown). The B-plot with the addition of an Alexa to the house and Alberta's "ghost power" coming forward again was also a constant delight.

Thanks for the link.Can't wait to see the 4th British series of GHOSTS. The US version left me cold and lacked in humor .The British series was hilarious- all 3 series.

Amazon should change the name of it's speaker devices from Echo to Alexa as that is name most people call the devices.

Very sad that it was only an 18-episode season. Over much too soon! Happy we'll have more next season!

I'm glad Ghosts is coming back also. I have actually been enjoying all the CBS Thursday night shows this season. I'm curious to see what happens to B-Positive; now that the transplant is over with, it seems like it doesn't quite know what it is about, although I have enjoyed it anyway. I got P+ mostly for Star Trek, but I enjoy the ability to see these shows (and others) without commercials.

Yeah I started watching about a month ago. Only the first three eps so far but I like it.

The mixture of humor and heart that continually dots this series makes it, for me, the best comedy on TV right now. My favorites from the first season: "Pete's Wife," "Alberta's Fan," "The Vault," and "Trevor's Pants."
