CBS doesn’t have much in the way of genre shows this year, but they did pick up Medium when NBC let it go. In what seems like a strange bit of scheduling, they lined Medium up with Ghost Whisperer on Friday nights. Aren’t those two a bit similar to run back to back like that?

The new Friday lineup begins on September 25.

For you Alex O’Loughlin fans, you’ll have to wait until October 4 before seeing him in his new series Three Rivers. That will make it one of the last new shows to debut in the fall which I suppose, could work in its favor.  It’s up against Desperate Housewives, Family Guy and Football. What do you make of that?

There are just two more episodes of Ghost Whisperer left this season so I’ve got a ton of GW stuff for you.

First off, tonight’s episode is extra spooky because it’s about a vampire ghost and that’s a new one on me.

In “Endless Love” a series of very strange and disturbing hauntings perplex Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) until Eli’s (Jamie Kennedy) ex-girlfriend, occult professor Zoe (Jaclyn DeSantis), finds the thread that connects the clues. Only problem is, her explanation is unthinkable: something undead is haunting Grandview. And it won’t rest till it’s taken its intended victim — a vulnerable high school co-ed (Alexa Vega) — to join it in death. (Photo: Vivian Zink/ABC Studios)

Before the episode begins at 8:00 (on CBS), stop by the special Vampire Ghost Interactive Journey site made just for you GW fans.

And because you guys always ask about the music, here’s what you’ll get tonight:
— “Disappear” by piano-rockers The Gabe Dixon Band (Concord Music Group)
— Siri Svegler’s “Their Wine” (Compost Records)
— Indie stars Luscious Redhead’s “Don’t You Dig Too Deep”

Visit the My Space page for the full music playlist.

Last but not least, James Van Praagh has a new book. It’s called “Unfinished Business: What the Dead Can Teach Us About Life.”

No, that’s not the unknown comic making a comeback in the photo. It’s a still from this week’s episode of Ghost Whisperer where Melinda investigates a sorority pledging ritual that went dangerously awry.

In honor of “Greek Tragedy,” the folks at Ghost Whisperer have put together a list of the Top 10 Haunted Colleges in America and they also invite you to tell your own spook school tales in their forum.

Topping the list? Our Lady of the Lake in Texas. Not surprising, since even the name of the college sounds spooky.

Ghost Whisperer returns tomorrow night with new a new episode called “Life on the Line.”

Ghostly 911 calls from a deadly accident in the past burn up the phone lines. Since the haunting is tied to a house that Delia is trying to sell, she has her first close encounter with a ghost since becoming a believer, and learns the hard way that life was a lot less scary — and dangerous — when she was a skeptic.  Meanwhile, Sam (Jim) tries to decide whether he wants to know who he bought an engagement ring for — until the question is answered for him… 

Need a couple of perks to keep you until then? Well, here you go.
