Ghosts Season 1 Ending Explained

The producers behind CBS's Ghosts reveal why the show's first season had to end with pickleball and structural damage.

 Sam and Jay decide to settle their beef with the Farnsbys the best way they know how: a pickleball match, which is something that comes directly from one of the creators’ experiences.

 “My wife’s relatives spend time in Florida, and they would always come back raving about pickleball and telling me how it’s the fastest growing sport in America,” Port said. “Apparently if you Google it, it is. I’ve never played it, but it looks fun.” 

 Weisman also admits to not indulging in the game. “I just never really heard about it until this last year. Multiple people mentioned playing it or being introduced to it. When we introduced the Farnsbys in the dinner party episode, we thought it was just a funny, specific [thing] that they were really into it, then we decided to use that as a fun plot device.” 

 Henry gets injured during the match resulting in Sam and Jay win by default. The duplicate B&B is now out of business.

So Bill Gates is blogging about the game and has supposedly played it for 50 years?

Fifty years ago, I started playing this little-known sport with a funny name. Now, it’s all the rage.

One of my favorite pastimes is now America's fastest-growing sport.
