Back in the late 1700s, Captain Isaac Higgintoot and Alexander Hamilton were frenemies. As time went on, we have only heard about one of them. And that is mainly because one of them had a Broadway Musical based on their life and death.
While Alexander has moved on to the great beyond, Higgintoot is stuck here as a ghost. Now that he knows what happened to his greatest nemesis, he wants his own Musical on the Great White Way.
So today, when he was able to transport himself to Broadway, he asked for one during the CBS Upfronts. But, he was not alone; his friends, who are also Ghosts, want one too. And they are not alone because I also want it.
So CBS, give us a Musical episode next season, or we will haunt you.
UPDATE: When I asked EP Joe Port on Twitter if we are going to get a musical episode next season, he responded with a GIF that reads, “Maybe…”
Before Utkarsh Ambudkar went to university in Pitch Perfect, he was still in high school in Rocket Science. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in the 2007 movie.
Tonight at 9p on CBS, it is time for the season finale of Ghosts, which is way too soon. But that is not the point.
Anyways, Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) are finally ready to open their B&B because the first guests have booked their stay at the Woodstone mansion.
There is only one problem, they have termites and their next-door neighbors are threatening to shut them down. Therefore, they have to wonder if they are cursed?
It turns out that the couple is cursed, and Thor (Devan Chandler Long) is the one that did it to them. Luckily, the Viking knows a way to undo it. All Sam needs is to get some sugar and cinnamon.
Once Sam has those ingredients, it is time to undo the curse. But if she gets rid of it, does that mean she will no longer see the Ghosts? So before she does it, Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Pete (Richie Moriarty), Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), Trevor (Asher Grodman), Sass (Román Zaragoza), and Flower (Sheila Carrasco) say goodbye to Sam in case she loses her power.
Will Sam give up seeing the Ghosts in order to break the curse? I can’t tell you. But I can tell you it is a perfect season finale for a perfect season.
The networks think we want grit and violence, but we want wholesome fun. So, CBS took a risk with Ghosts, and it paid off for them and for us. The series that some thought would be a failure turned out the be the biggest new show of the season. Hopefully, we will see more like it next season. And even if we don’t, then we still have Ghosts. And it better get more than 18 episodes because that is not enough. Then again, 52 wouldn’t be enough either.
Thank you to EPs Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the writers, and the cast for giving us a show that always leaves us with a huge smile on our faces.
If you are someone who prefers to binge programs, then you will want to binge Ghosts on Paramount+. It is worth giving it 9 hours of your time. Probably more than that because you are going to watch at least a few of the episodes more than once. I know I have watched all of them multiple times.
Some people are going to tell you that tonight’s episode of Ghosts on CBS at 9p is all about the new ghost that lives one the attic, who was murdered on her way to the prom. Not me. I am going to tell you how Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) got an Alexa and that one of the Ghosts can make it work with their voice.
See, isn’t that more interesting than telling you about Stephanie (Odessa A’Zion), the bitchy teen who was slaughtered by a chainsaw killer while she made out with her boyfriend on the way to their prom? Now, Stephanie sleeps all but one day out of the year, and she wants to have a ghost prom where no livings are allowed. Why? Because she has a crush on pantless Trevor (Asher Grodman), who has a crush on Sam. However, he still sees her as a teen even though they are the same age.
We know that Stephanie wants to go with Trevor, and he doesn’t want to go with her. So how are Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Pete (Richie Moriarty), Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), Sass (Román Zaragoza), Flower (Sheila Carrasco), and Thor (Devan Chandler Long) going to pair up for their special night?
Oh, and did I mention that Stephanie hates Sam and does something mean to her? How will the other Ghosts react to what she did? You are not going to want to miss it.
After the pandemic, several networks thought we wanted dramas. However, CBS knew we needed a comedy with heart. So each week, Ghosts delivers us an episode that leaves us feeling warm and fuzzy like we did in 2019. Remember the good old days? This sitcom helps recapture the happiness of those days.
Asher Grodman’s ghost on Ghosts died without his pants and boxers on, so Trevor is left to spend the afterlife dressed the same way. While that is his character, does the actor go full Scottish on the CBS comedy?
Yesterday, when the actor was on The Talk, the hosts asked him that very question. Richie Moriarty revealed that his co-star wears a nude speedo, aka a dancer’s belt, under his shirt, jacket, and tie.
Was anyone else hoping that Grodman would keep it authentic to Trevor’s demise? But then again, in the Me Too era, one lost button, and the show and the actor could become ghosts.
