Also I couldn’t help but, in the context of all the other shows the past year or so, feel this finale didn’t make sense at all. We saw too many flash forwards staring Ariel with Allison and Joe in their twilight years.

“Me Without You” – When Allison becomes a lawyer and Joe starts a new job, the Dubois family is forever changed, on the series finale of MEDIUM, Friday, Jan. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The show is going to fast forward in time during the episode, aging the DuBois kids (based on the guest cast list).

Star Patricia Arquette has told Entertainment Weekly that the show has been canceled and they have two final episodes to film – and not even she knows how things will end.

Last season in an episode that went into the future, Allison was the District Attorney while her boss was the Mayor of Phoenix. The latest episode to air hinted this was in fact the direction the show is going, possibly giving us closure. Devalos had just put his hat in to run for Mayor, and Allison has decided to return to law school.

The season premier episode, with Bridget and Allison switching bodies, I thought was pretty predictable in terms of the killer (homeless guys son). This last week with the park strangler I was pleasantly surprised because there were two killers using the same M.O.

If that was the final “Ghost Whisperer,” I feel I would be satisfied. Both shows not only wrapped up the stories, but left us in good places, as if they knew chance for renewal might not happen. No horrid cliff hangers dangling the fans.

On “Ghost Whisperer” we learned Aiden didn’t listen to his parents and was still talking to the shinies, who as it turned out where crossed over ghost children. Aiden led them in a war to destroy the shadows, who were apparently trying to take over the world.This is why the shadows sought out ghost children who hadn’t been crossed over, they could become shinies.

Honestly I felt that the storyline was somewhat weak. This was all about a war of ghost children? This didn’t need a whole season to explain or come to fruition. But again, I was glad we weren’t left with some cliffhanger.

“Medium’s” entire episode had Allison dead and not crossing over, but sticking around to continue doing her job through poor Ariel. The whole show was a dream though, which I felt was fairly obvious. In the end Ariel got ready to head to Dartmouth for college, and Lee and Lynn finally got married. The show ended at their wedding with everyone toasting to the future.

I wasn’t that thrilled with this season finale either, but again, it was a good ending should it had been the series finale. Fortunately for “Medium,” which I enjoy more, it’s not. Allison will dream on, will Melinda make the leap to ABC? Time will tell.
