Besides Rent-a-ghost, can you name another TV sitcom with a ghost as a main character?

So Haunt Me? I remember crying once because I wasn't allowed to stay up and watch that. Maybe it's because the ghostly woman was Jewish and my parents didn't want her interfering with me strict Catholic upbringing. Okay, that's a lie.

This language is one of the reasons you were warned.

That was more of a poltergeist though - you only ever saw the pen. There used to be something on the BBC about an old Jewish woman who choked on a fish bone, and her ghost haunted the family. It was a comedy.

How about Ghost Writer?

Due South was a wonderous show.

Canadian mounty in the big city, with his trusty sidekick, a wolf.

Well roger me sideways with Diefenbaker's bone, of course Due South had a ghost in it! His freaking Dad was a ghost!

Side note: my Uncle's brother and 3 nephews are all geniune Canadian mounties. True story.

Due South

I REMEMER THAT!!! He was in the mirror, but when she turned round *poof* gone! He wasn't in it as a ghost for long though. Come to think of it, I think the kid that keeps seeing the ghost is just mental. Or that bloke that plays the ghost writes the show and didn't want to get the boot.

I used to watch Brookside on and off. Best. Soap. Evar. Near the end, it became the TV equivalent of an Oliver Stone film.

Apart from me. Soap operas are the TV equivalent of The Sun. :)

[edit] I do however remember watching Bread (Clara Lane?) and while technically not a soap, it was still pretty damn terrible.

Anyhoo, on the subject of Hollyoaks, I catch the last 15 mins while I get something to eat (The girlfriend loves it. Aren't differences a wonderfjul thing.)

I still don't know any character names, or plotlines as my mind literally refuses to absorb it. Seriously, I zone out. In one ear and out the other as your mother would say.
