I live in Green Bay, Wi. The Packer Game will be on so no CASTLE in my area. The local ABC affiliate, in their vast wisdom, will be airing ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT and DANCING WITH THE STARS after the game B U T they will not be airing CASTLE. That just SUX. I guess that just shows what ABC feels about our show. They have NEVER promoted it the way they should of and it frustrates and angers me. That means we will have to wait til it appears as a rerun later in the week from our cable provider. We are not happy campers and, trust me, they just blow you off when you call your local station and complain. It's just so frustrating  Okay, I'm done. THANKS for "listening". |

That's incredibly frustrating. I'm not a reality show fan, so all of them could disappear, in my humble opinion. |

I'm so bummed for you, Geezer! You get the double whammy of Monday Night Football being a religion to so many PLUS the adoring Packer fans., but at least they could show it later on. Good Grief! Even though we're in Wisconsin, we're part of the Twin Cities market so we have to watch out for the Vikings playing on Monday night. Thankfully, they did that the very first week and Castle hadn't started yet.

I think that we would have learned something by now. ABC just doesn't care for Castle. Yes they renewed Castle for an 8th season. But honestly what could they have replaced the time slot with. All during the summer they were promoting The Muppets. Then closer it come to fall they started to promote Thursdays. Know where have I seen them promoting anything Castle. They have the fans who do a good enough job. Well are they saying that Thursday shows doesn't have a loyal fan base. I call BS on this. I am not saying that we the fans deserves anything. However, Castle should rate some of their attention. What is the use of having an Castle advisory panel, if they arent going to take some of what we are screaming for to heart.

Unfortunately, this is an affiliate decision and not the networks. Affiliates can choose to air different programming, although they usually don't. With football being such a huge draw, many markets will choose a local game over the network's programming schedule.
I agree that it sucks but it's not uncommon.

Thank you ProudTV. Great to be here. I'm afraid it's only here in England where we wait months for the new season. In Australia and a good part of Europe they see the new seasons pretty well as soon as you do now. The TV channel (Alibi) that shows Castle here has now got an exclusive contract whereby they won't allow iTunes to show any of season 7, yes season 7, until the day after they (Alibi) show it here. We are now up to episode 19 of season 7 so will probably have to wait until May of next year to see the start of season 8 so finding websites and areas of YouTube where I can catch up is great.
On a side note, I used to live and work in the States back in the '70s in Washington DC and still miss it. It's a great country.
Long live Caskett!

*sigh*  It's my turn next week. The local Detroit ABC affiliate will be broadcasting the Lions MNF game. Haven't been able to find out yet if they will show Castle at a later time or not. |
