Medium, Ghost Whisperer may be renewed for '10-'11

CBS president of entertainment Nina Tassler told reporters on Saturday that both of the network's Friday-night genre shows—Ghost Whisperer and Medium—are in the running for renewal next season, though no decisions have been made.

"Medium is doing fine, and it will absolutely be considered for next year," Tassler said in a press conference in Pasadena, Calif., for the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

CBS picked up Medium after NBC declined to put it on its 2009-'10 schedule. Ghost Whisperer has been a mainstay on CBS and also has a good shot at returning. "Nothing's a lock, but it's absolutely in consideration for next year," Tassler said in a group interview following the press conference.

Tassler said that she is happy with the Friday-night lineup. Ratings have been down this year, but she cites last Friday's numbers as a good sign.

"We had season highs last night on Friday," Tassler said. "I'm not complaining from last night's numbers. We still program for Friday night. It's clear we have two shows there with Ghost Whisperer and with Medium that have a good flow from one into the other, so we will continue to program there for Friday night. For us, we still see opportunities."

I hope this is true cause a yahoo article says otherwise.

Medium still has excellent writing and manages to keep coming up with new and interesting stories every week - aside from the storyline where Allison has a major stroke and she is miraculously better 3 weeks later they have managed to keep the show together pretty well and the move to CBS has been pretty seamless.

Ghost Whisperer is just pointless now - the whole jumping forward 5 years thing is ridiculous, and how does the husband become a doctor in that short amount of time, and that creepy kid of theirs that is about 6 years old and can't read? The worst thing is how repetitive the storylines are - how many more characters are they going to kill off just to create drama?
