    go Castle!

  2. ABCHasProblems says:

    Great news for Castle! Last night proved that it doesn’t need the huge DWTS lead-in to survive. Now it’s up to ABC to decide where to put Castle in mid-season: Mondays @ 10 after The Bachelor, or Sundays @ 8 after EMHE.

  3. Becki says:

    So when can we expect the updated renew/cancel index? I think I’m becoming an addict!

  4. MichyGeary says:

    Castle rock the face off the world!

  5. cool says:

    ABChasproblemas, no way ABC will move DH because of Castle. I think Castle will air after the younger skewing Bachelor.

  6. Chris says:

    this is the first place i come to when i get in from work

  7. ABCHasProblems says:

    DH wouldn’t be moved, cool. AFV would be shipped to a new night and EMHE would be moved up to 7pm. If Castle survived at 8pm on Sundays, it could then be officially referred to as the Bones of ABC.

  8. Becki, Nielsen is behind with publishing the weekly numbers used for the Renew/Cancel reports. Hopefully they’ll go up later today or tomorrow, but last night’s numbers won’t be included until next weeks reports (which will likely be delayed a day due to the Thanksgiving holiday)

  9. Becki says:

    Thanks Robert, I needed clarification on that!

  10. Ryan47 says:

    I think Castle is already the Bones of ABC. Following the same basic pattern, isn’t it? And despite their many blunders with other series, ABC seemingly has the smarts to see this one as having the potential to be a solid part of their lineup for a long, long time. They’ve let Castle slowly grow on people, and week in and week out, it’s rewarded them for their patience. They, like us fans, have to be even more encouraged this week. Season highs the week it loses DWTS? That’s pleasantly surprising even to enthusiasts like me.

    I’ll go with the cliche: GO CASTLE!

    Robert, I don’t know if you saw this but Travis also posted this:

  12. Ryan47 says:

    @Cullen – Not a big surprise with the DWTS overrun. Still a decent premiere, though. Not great, but decent for what it is.

  13. Julia says:

    Ryan, I think Cullen’s point is that Castle had an even better retention from the 9:45 quarter hour.

  14. Cullen says:

    yeah that’s what i was saying thanks for clarifying

  15. Raymond says:

    Mm nearly 100% – so glad pisher has been proven wrong for once!

  16. shelly says:

    What is Find My Family? I’ve never heard of it before – is it a new reality show?

  17. Cullen says:

    Pisher is usually wrong one of his big arguments against Castle is that it doesn’t win its timeslot (CSI:Miami beats it) but networks look at shows in terms of the network average so winning one’s timeslot doesn’t really matter (as shown by House coming in 3rd last night).

  18. Raymond says:

    Well technically House came in first as it’s really the demo that’s important not total viewers – but yes you’re right pisher goes on about how low the ratings are for Dexter in a relative sense – but he fails to take into account how successful it is given the number of homes Showtime is in (although he makes comments like HBO is only in 2.5x homes and the ratings wouldn’t be 2.5x better on HBO etc which are generally flawed).

  19. steve says:

    woohoo castle has held its 2.7 and a series high without a DWTS as its lead in showing it can stand on its own 2 feet is this the bones of abc

  20. forg says:

    Congrats to Castle, that’s a good sign.

    Wow, TBBT finally beat 2.5 Men in viewers and cheer to HIMYM’s season high ratings :)

  21. steve says:

    Rob or Bill if castle holds around that were would it put it on renew/cancel index in the green or still in the orange.

  22. vsaint says:

    Agreed, people are slowly finding the show.
    It’s nice for a change to see a show with potentital given a chance.

  23. cammy says:

    Yay for Castle! It’s one of the few new ABC dramas that’s working and without the massive marketing campaigns of V and FF. Good for them.

  24. inthelatin says:

    AWESOME news for Castle. I love the show and watch it every week. I was really hoping it would get picked up for a third season and this is good news. I think it will now!!! So happy.

  25. baqinardo says:

    Yay~ for Castle. Go Castle…
    Still hoping for AoP renewal. ^_^

  26. ABCFanatic2009 says:

    Find my Familly really helped Castle

  27. Smallville says:

    I was really surprised that Find My Family did good and it made a good lead in for Castle but some people think castle’s ratings only went up because of Find My family when actually…It went up because the episode was great! I thought the Abigail Spencer and the other girl fights were hilarious!! Especailly with Castle and Beckket added into it. Castle has and always will surpass people’s expectations. I bet that when im in college in 3 years Castle will already be working on their 100th episode

  28. Rick Castle says:

    “I bet that when im in college in 3 years Castle will already be working on their 100th episode”

    That would be awesome.

  29. Glenn says:

    My wife & I love Castle! Easily one of the best shows on TV these days. We can’t wait to see each episode and often watch them a 2nd time, just to sit and laugh. Well done, well written! For us it’s Moonlighting all over again, but mercifully without Cybill Shephard, ugh!

  30. Smallville says:

    Im happy that even castle can keep relationships going Nathan Fillion must be really happy
