Jennifer Love Hewitt Makes It Big Friday Nights

Since her days on Party of Five and The Byrds of Paradise, we knew one day Jennifer Love Hewitt would finally see herself at the top of the television rating charts. And she’s not there not just because of her breasts. She has an alluringly charming attraction – cute but not overly bubbly – which seems to have finally paid off with her I-see-dead-people drama Ghost Whisperer on CBS. Currently, the show is number one on Friday nights with 10.86 million viewers. Given endlessly proliferating fragmentation and a Friday night time slot, ten million is very impressive. Patricia Arquette’s similarly themed show Medium still does slightly better but that’s in a far better time slot. With the success of Ghost Whisperer, it looks like JLH can finally leave behind her clothing company (it’s a joke, people), her TV Guide covers (also a joke) and set her sites of television success.
