Description:Spooks and ghosts and things that go bump in the night. Has there ever been so much fantasy on television? And such successful shows, too. <i>Buffy</i> and <i>Angel</i> were fantasy shows and while they had definite followings, they weren't the hits that <i>Medium</i> and <i>Ghost Whisperer</i> are. Why are they so successful?
Speaker(s):MaryAnn Johanson(M), ElizaBeth Gilligan, Len Wein, Jane Espenson
