After what felt like an eternity (but was actually just a standard strike-induced hiatus), Ghosts is finally back. Season 3, Episode 1, titled “The Owl,” wastes no time reminding us why this CBS sitcom has become a cozy staple. And for those watching the high-quality BD5 release, the crisp visuals of Woodstone Mansion have never looked better.
