Although the overall quality of special features here
isn’t quite as strong as the first season, the second season
has some nice extras. We get four audio commentaries although
Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t appear on any of them. ***
“A Conversation with the Living” features the cast and
creative crew discussing the episodes from the second season
including the story arcs that occurred. Luckily, they avoid
spoilers. ***
“Ghostly Visions” is a good featurette that gives the
spotlight to the make up artists on the show. They show
how they create the otherworldly look of many of the characters.
***
“Grandview Graveyard” is a cool featurette that allows
the writers to discuss the background on the ghosts that
appear six episodes from the second season. It gives added
depth to the episodes and also displays the creative challenges
and ideas that make a show like this tick. ***
“Melinda’s Closet” puts the spotlight on costume designer
Joseph Porro. He discusses the designs for the clothing
the characters in the show, the way it reflects their personalities
and how it can add to the overall “character” of the series.
***
We also get a trailer and webisodes for “The Other
Side” an on-line spin off of the series. A brief “behind
the scenes” featurette is included on the show. ***
Finally we get an interactive game for adults and the
teen/tween audience devoted to the show. “Crystal Ball Mind”
where you pick a number, pair with a character from the
show and the DVD game will predict what character you picked.
