Castle was introduced by ABC late in the television season with a short 10 episode stint. A lot of people didn’t get a chance to watch it and some have never even heard of it. ABC is notorious for introducing shows at the very end of the television season and giving them 9 or 10 episodes to prove themselves. Their strongest example of that would be Grey’s Anatomy. Grey’s Anatomy’s initial season consisted of 9 episodes at the very end of the television season and is now one of the most watched shows on television. This past season, ABC was hoping to do the same with Castle. So far, they’ve gotten off to a pretty good start. Season 1 of Castle did pretty well and was renewed for at least 16 episodes in this coming season. Castle is a show about a fiction novelist and a detective, who team up in order to solve crime. Obviously, its not just that simple, there is a background story, but I wanna give you a chance to check it out for yourself. Now, I know what everyone is thinking “just what I need, another cop show.” Well, you’re right and you’re wrong, the reason there are so many cop shows and the reason why they succeed is because they’re so easy to make, the story lines are essentially already written for you and people tune in to watch them. This is not a typical law and order type of cop show though, this show has a very comedic and laid back twist to it. Nathan Fillion plays Richard Castle, a novelist who is working on his new set of books and is essentially helping the police with their investigations as “research” which is what he called it. Stana Katic (Weirdo!) plays the head detective whom Castle is following and essentially assisting with murder investigations, obviously driving her insane and creating an extremely entertaining show for us viewers. Behind Fringe, Castle was probably the best new show of the 2008-2009 television season. If you’re a fan of cop shows and have always wished that they would lighten up a little bit on Law and Order, then you’re gonna love this show!
I’m rating Castle as a MUST SEE!
Castle will be one of the shows that I will review on a weekly basis on this blog! Tune in to hear more when the season starts!

I’m a huge fan of Castle, as you know. From a female POV he has this charming sexy thing going on and quite honestly she is hott, so it’s a good combination!
