A struggling young couple's dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful house in the country, only to find out it's falling apart and haunted by the ghosts of previous residents.
i tapped out from ghosts us in season 3 ish. saw maybe one or two part episodes since
i dont think i missed much.
i would say us and uk shows are on par with each other, but the uk series knew when to hang up the hat.
and lets face it you can really milk a popular show in the usa for a decade if it costs little to make.
most of what i saw in the usa show was the uk episodes redone, and most were redone well.
(seriously including a viking is the usa was just desperate writing, and that is the best that can be said for that)
granted the usa has a much shorter history to work with, they definitionally glossed over a lot with their choice
of ghosts on both shows.
the actors are all about on par and do a good job for the lines they are given.
its a pretty good comedy show compared to much of the competition,
but not a show that is getting better, or really has any where to go.
and in the usa you can get a LOT WORSE and still be on the air

Season 5 finale...
I really thought there would be a crossover with Ghosts (UK)when they said they were going to England...very disappointing :(
I know the original show is cancelled, but this would've been the perfect opportunity

I did put a smiley after my comment. Of course everyone is welcome here with no judgement. Unless they're not :)

The main reason that the UK version is better, is that the majority of the ghost cast have been working together for years in the BBC educational series, Horrible Histories. Kids in the UK have grown up on this. I have a CD set that I have used in the history classroom. For example there were songs about the six wives of Henry the VIII, as well as many other examples to encourage to remember facts from history. It started in 2009, and kids from that era loved it. So those kids 10-15 years later, and the parents and teachers that watched it with their kids, loved it as well. The troupe has also won awards for British comedy. Although the UK version of 'Ghosts' ended for a very good reason, it will be missed. I won't give any spoilers...
I find the US version really corny. Especially the ghost power from Isaac which makes a fart smell when he walks through a living person.

^^ ... for me, that one is easy!
Ghosts UK:
Really good, minimal flaws - seen, enjoyed much, some seasons multiple times, clear recommendation, 4.5★
Ghosts US:
Trashy rubbish, why do people create these shows and invest money ?!? maybe even CW would be ashamed (eh... or not^^)... Had a peek, fainted, OFF
... easy :cool:

I have watched a few eps of the UK version; well the US version is not that different. maybe the humour a bit more nuanced in the UK version but just not my cup of tea of silliness. I was hoping that as Rose McIver was one of the stars the show would have the quality of iZombie which is an excellent show that ran for 5 seasons ended acouple of years ago now. For any one not seen that show I suggest you take a look
The UK version is quite different from the US version,
explain. not my impression. almost the same characters eg the scout with the arrow in his neck. I think I prefer the American version as Rose McIver makes it
There are some crossover characters like "arrow guy" but others are different; the comedy is also very different with the UK one being more subtle than the US version.
I enjoy both to be honest but the UK one is better IMO.
