What I’m Watching: Ghosts (Season Finale)

Ghosts: Season 1, Episode 18 “Farnsby and B” (B+)

It’s really so much more reassuring to watch a season finale knowing that the show is coming back than when that’s not the case, like with another CBS sitcom, “B Positive,” whose fate remains unknown. Fortunately, this one was renewed back in January, and it’s great since it’s really a delight. It really was a difficult decision for Sam to have to make about whether to risk losing the ability to hear the ghosts, and having them all make appeals for the things she had done for them was sweet, even if Isaac thought that what he said would have been enough to apply to everyone. Isaac speaking his mind and not letting Nigel go after Jenkins’ duplicity was revealed was a great move, and the ghosts did have to try hard to muster up shock at the news that Isaac was finally coming out. Thor’s very rare ingredients needed to get rid of the curse were similarly predictable, but it was still fun to watch the drama of his delivery. Jay’s nonexistent pickle ball prowess nearly did them in, but having to find a way to buy back the house was never going to be as entertaining as, say, having to do a lot of work with the floor caved in and the basement ghosts being far too accessible for everyone’s comfort, especially Pete’s. This first season has been a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to see what antics are coming up in season two and beyond.

Season grade: B+
Season MVP: Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac
