The people cast for the parts are great. They work together so well, everything seems very natural. I hope the show stays on a long time. It became a favorite of mine immediately. I hate the situation comedy shows that most people seem to like. I'm insulted when a show has canned laughter telling me when I"m supposed to laugh–especially when 98 percent of the time, it's not worth laughing at. I hope some goofy sitcom does not knock Castle off the air because the dumbos that watch sitcoms are not intelligent enough to understand a show like Castle.

Hi Sallybev,

Your comment about the daughter is so good >>> I am tired of (almost) all teenagers being portrayed as "smarty pants" on television. It is refreshing to see a TV teenage girl who isn't talking back, rolling her eyes, swishing her head in disgust at her parent, and commenting "whatever" all the way through her character's appearance on the show. Nice to see one who loves her father and actually studies (or even reads!) instead of only concentrating on extracurricular activities.

WOW, THIS IS TERRIFIC, IT HAD ME AFTER JUST THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS OF INTERPLAY OF THE MAIN CAST, MOVED QUICKLY, HAD TO BE CAREFUL AS NOT TO LAUGH FOR FEAR OF MISSING ANOTHER CLEVER GESTURE, EYE CONTACTS GOING ON, ALSO THE ADORABLE DAUGHTER SO MATURE, YET NOT SMARTY PANTS YOUNG LADY, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW, I DO HOPE SHE STAYS ON AS A KEEPER. I HAVE NEVER SEEN EITHER OF THESE TWO TALENTED STARS BEFORE,BUT THEY ARE FASCINATING, SHARP, DO THEY EVER "CLICK" AS AN ODD PAIR, I HOPE THIS WILL NOT BE LOST, AND STAYS ON AND ON, CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF IT SO FAR.

THIS IS SO FRESH, CLEVER, SUCH A SURPRISE, I WILL NEVER MISS A SHOW, IF IT COMES OUT ON DVD'S, I'LL BUY THE WHOLE LOT.

THANK YOU FOR THIS TREAT FOR THE LAUGHTER,MYSTERY, TOUCHES OF A TEAR OR TWO, JUST PERFECTO WORK OF A SERIES.

FOREVER A NEWFOUND FAN, SALLYBEV

Hi Lisa,

Sometimes the networks yank really good shows off the air for no apparent reasons. Let's hope they don't do that to Castle.

Thanks for the head's up about Castle…it is good-I have seen both episodes and 2 others at my office are watching as well. Crossing my fingers it stays on air.

Hi Ida,

You are so right! How many times do we have to sit through that desk scene?!? You have to wonder if the writers who include that particular scene think that they are the first to think of it. I am sure I have seen that scene several times, to say the least!

Finally, a prime time tv show you can curl up with like a good book. There is talent out there and it is finally emerging.
This show is very well written, the themes are clever (I loved last night's ending with the daughter thanking her father for being her Nanny). They tied it all together with a red ribbon and sent a message too.
The part of Castle's mother is played outstandingly.
It's literary, it's charming, it's a breath of fresh air.
And lo and behold it is all of that and more and it didn't require throwing everything off of a desk and having sex in the office.

Hi Vickie...

I cannot wait to see the new Eureka. That is one fun show to watch! I'm glad that you let us know about it.

I hope that Fillion will be around for a longer time as Castle than he was in Firefly. Seems like if a show is too good, it doesn't stay on television. That's a... (as you would say!) "cranium"-scratcher.

I rewatched the poker table sequence several times to try to identify the woman... You're right.... It's a mystery...

I looked really hard at the female at the poker table, assuming I might figure out who she was. She didn't speak and it almost looked like she was 'just' the dealer. It's a mystery….

'Eureka' is coming back this summer (theoretically). I think they got hit by the writers' strike and are having a catch-up. I miss it, but have the first two seasons on DVD at least.

I was able to stay awake on Saturday night and watched 'Castle'. It was so good! Thank you, again, for the cranium's up on the re-showing of it. I hope they do this all the time. I have an even bigger crush on Nathan Fillion, especially his expressive eyebrows! = )
