ABC Renews Castle

Castle Earns Its Best Numbers Since March


Keep your fingers crossed Castle fans. One short week after Castle earned  the "most startling show of support" in USA TODAY's 12th Annual Save our Shows Survey The Live Feed is reporting that Castle's ratings are up for the third consecutive week and are the best since mid-March.

Another headline Monday: Detective drama Castle [ 10 million, 2.8 ], which rose for the third week in a row to hit its best number since mid-March.

Castle rose a sharp 40% this week, benefiting from a direct lead-in from Dancing rather than having to wait for Surviving Suburbia to drive away all the viewers. This is the third consecutive week of growth for the freshman detective drama. Even considering the obvious help of the large Dancing lead in, if Castle holds a similar number next week, chances of a second season slide from uncertain to probable.
 

Hopefully Castle's improving ratings will help it earn a renewal. READ MORE

Kroll at Soap Central about his time on the show. Here's what the Castle frontman had to say about working opposite the cougarific Robin Strasser (Dorian). 

In 2009, it seems every television show has a storyline featuring what is now playfully called "a cougar," or an older woman who is romantically involved with a younger man. When Fillion's Joey Buchanan was involved with Emmy winner Robin Strasser's Dorian Lord in 1994, it created quite a bit of controversy among the viewers. Maybe it was because Dorian initially sought to use Joey as a pawn in her never-ending rivalry with Joey's mother, Victoria Buchanan -- but the two did eventually fall in love. READ MORE
