Please do not use this as a general forum for the show, rather use this to discuss aspects of the Wikipedia article devoted to the show. I have deleted all previous discussion not relating to the wikipedia article devoted to Medium. --Pisceandreams (talk) 16:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I was wrong, but I thought it was some sort of policy that discussion in the discussion page doesn't get deleted.  This isn't a wikipedia article, it's actually not free for all.  I see deleting or changing someone's comment as a form of vandalism.  At best we archive things.  It's not that I don't agree with them, I don't like seeing it either, and this isn't a forum, but deleting things people say just seems... wrong... 24.63.111.174 (talk) 04:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Attention ''Medium'' fans coming to the discussion page

message: My first Wikipedia edit!  So, I found this section useful because I came here looking for an answer to whether Kathy Baker had been the only actress ever to play Joe DuBois' mom.  The cast list includes Jessy Schram, who has only been in two episodes (according to this page) and Bruce Gray, whom I believe has played Joe's dead father many times.  But Kathy Baker has only appeared in 2 episodes according to imdb, and she is in the Notable Guest Stars section.  Anyway, I was tempted to edit the page to add Mark Sheppard, who is notable to me as portraying Romo Lampkin in Battlestar Galactica, and portrayed the body jumping serial killer nemesis in 3 episodes of Medium (reminiscent of the classic Star Trek episode Wolf in the Fold).  
But I noticed a number of edits and undos in the History of this page.  So, not wanting to make an unpopular edit, I thought I'd ask you all.  Does this community of editors have any ideas for criteria for whom should be listed as a Notable Guest Star or Cast?
Proposal:
* If a character is a DuBois family member (or a past or future version of a DuBois family member), such that it would be weird if the producers cast multiple actors in the same role (which is sometimes unavoidable due to actor availability or death), then they belong in Cast.  By this criterion, Jessy Schram and Kathy Baker both belong in cast. 
* If an actor has appeared in more than 5 episodes of Medium, has ever won an Emmy, Cable Ace, or Oscar for their work on other TV shows or movies, or if they have an IMDB filmography with more than 50 items, then they belong in Notable Guest Stars.  By this criterion, Mark Sheppard, much as I like him, would be excluded from both lists. 
How's that sound to the community?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.183.230 (talk) 01:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else find that parts of the "Episodes" section are redundant? For example: "The show premiered on January 3, 2005, and ran for 16 episodes until May 23, 2005. The second season started on September 19, 2005, and ran for 22 episodes to May 22, 2006." Between the "DVD Releases" and "Broadcast History" sections, this information is clearly provided.

message: Since 9 episodes have been produced, does that mean Season 4 will only have 9 episodes? If the writers strike is resolved soon will more episodes be produced? I sure hope our show doesn't get canned!! Jdcrackers (talk) 00:15, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's hard to say at this point what will happen. The show has the advantage of not starting until January because if the writers' strike ends, there will be time to produce more episodes without a hiatus. If the strike doesn't end, then yes, the 4th season might have only 9 episodes.--Pisceandreams (talk) 20:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series 

message: I think there should be a section stating which international networks the series is syndicated to and when each country began broadcasting the series. It is featured on Wiki entries for other television series. I know BBC TWO broadcast 'Medium' in the UK on Saturday nights, as does the satellite/cable Sci-Fi Channel. Not entirely sure when they bgan broadcasting and what series that are on but a table featuring this information would be very useful.

message: Hi guys. I updated the release date for the 4th season DVDs in Germany (according to Amazon.de it will be on September 3rd) and that Allison miscarried Brian, according to a quiz on the NBC Medium website (question 9 asks: "What's the name of Allison's UNBORN son?").
Now my question: I've read on Amazon that the UK Region 2 DVDs got both the original english and the german dubbing of the series. Can somebody confirm? Do all the seasons have at least those two languages? Also the 4th? Thank you! -- 77.54.112.55 (talk) 22:39, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: i would interpret UNBORN son as one never born, and watching the episode i never got the impression that Allison and Joe had actually lost a child. i think the whole son thing, having one or missing one that had died, was part of the dream. DyNama (talk) 08:05, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: anyone know when season 6 will be released on DVD?

message: ::"Initially, Allison believed the gift had skipped a generation and her mother had had no psychic abilities. However, she later discovered that her mother had always possessed the gift, but had done everything she could to repress it."
This is identical to Melinda Gordon The Ghost Whisperer's background, but that show established it more deliberately. Yes, in Medium, the grandmother definitely had the gift, and the mother was antagonistic to the idea, in the only episode that portrayed Allison's mother, but her hostility seemed more out of the preposterousness of the premise, not in denial knowing the premise is true. if it was established that the mother actually had the gift, it was only in conversation in a later episode, not flashback or dream (because Allison's mother only makes 1 appearance) and i don't recall it. i will eventually rewatch the episode and edit the article but i've read what i consider a confusion with Ghost Whisperer on other websites too.DyNama (talk) 08:31, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

message: How can it be that season 5 ended with  #61 	8.5

replies: text: I updated the info with a better source, deadline did there own calculations. But still no, that just means less people watched TV, making a show with fewer viewers rank higher. Xeworlebi (talk) 10:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

:: Another mistake is Canceled has one l instead of 2 l's... just thought i would pass that along.Jdcrackers (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically speaking, that is not a spelling mistake. "Cancelled" is correct in British, Canadian, and other forms of English; "canceled" is the US spelling. That aside, we would use the US version here as it is an American series. --Ckatzchatspy 03:08, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling mistake 

message: The status in the infobox keeps flip-flopping back and forth between canceled and ended. More experienced editors seem to favor canceled, so I've been reverting IPs that change it to ended. Personally, I don't much care which it is, but I suppose we should reach a consensus on it. Please comment.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:42, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since Medium had a proper finale why can't we just say it ended? Crossing Jordan, on the other hand did not.  For me, Medium was canceled by CBS, but Ended 21, Jan. 2011. So can we use canceled/ended? Thanks Jdcrackers (talk) 02:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Another thing I wanted to point out is that the show didn't end too bad with the ratings for the 2010-2011 season.  The show didn't do bad in its 7 year run.  Hopefully a movie or a spinoff will prevail.  Any ideas? Jdcrackers (talk) 03:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
