Rating: - AWESOME show! (Bring it back!)
I have loved everything about this show from the beginning, the relationship between Allison & Joe, their relationship with their kids and how her "gift" works is wonderful and very interesting. I also enjoy how (much as in real life) those dreams are sometimes misinterpreted and you can see how easy that is to do --- but when it all comes together, it's awesome. The only thing that bugs me is that the DA and the cop they work with, so often blow her off even after seeing so many times how good/useful her "gift" is. I like how it's realistic in how she has to pretty much hide her "gift" because mainstream society would view you as a total nutcase OR drive you crazy trying to get you to "read" for them, etc.
EVERY season of this show has been amazing - I sure hope you see them all at least once, I'm sure you'll enjoy them too.

Rating: - Not very good value for money.
For the number of episodes Season 4 has, you'd think the DVD would be cheaper but no. Then there's the fact that unlike previous DVDs for this series, there are no extras to make this worth the money! The only reason why I got the DVD is because I am such a fan of the series and want to continue my collection. This one though has left me feeling very resentful. The word greedy comes to mind!

Rating: - American Family
I'm so glad to have the fourth season of "Medium" on DVD. This has been my favorite show on TV for 4 years now. While I tried to watch each episode, I never saw "Car Trouble" during broadcast; so as Allison tried to catch a Hispanic killer, only to find he is a model who was on a poster completely engaged me. "Lady Killer" with Patricia Arquette's sister Rosanna Arquette starring as an author who writes a best seller about how older women can get guys turns into an exciting tracking of a serial killer. "Drowned World" that traces a story of a family's dysfunction as it is manifested into dreams of running water built with great unexpected turns. What Glenn Gordon Caron calls "story arcs," stories that span a number of episodes, brings Angelica Huston as Cynthia Keener, the representative of an organization Ameritips that try to find lost children. Huston's character builds until her final climactic episodes of "Wicked Games." The season had a tremendous setup from the previous season as both Joe Dubois and Allison find themselves out of work. Their struggle with family bills, trying to find ways to say no to the children who want money for special things, and having to ask for help from Joe's mother all give this show the duality of the fantastic element of the paranormal and the everyday life of an American family trying to make ends meet. Joe & Allison's love for each other shines well, particularly in the episodes where Allison gets jealous of Kelly Preston's character who plays Joe's boss on several episodes. The packaging on the box is excellent. I particularly appreciate watching the shows without commercial breaks. While shorter than previous seasons, Season 4 is a welcome addition that will come out from time to time for return engagements on my DVD. Enjoy!

Rating: - The Writer's Strike Shows
Medium has been excellent and I was really looking forward to series 4.

However the writer's strike seems to have not only shortened the season (only 16 episodes here as opposed to 21 in season 3), but also some of the 'Medium' creativity was missing.

A few episodes seemed to have sort of weirdly 'scooby doo' endings. Much weaker than previous seasons.

Hopefully season 5 will see a return to the creative and quirky path for Alison. Still worth watching for the best written family and marriage on tv. And they all have lovely hair :)
