So Castle was pre-empted in Chicago cause the Cubbies were on TV and it adjusted down from 1.24 and 6.88 to 1.1 and 6.37, but Blindspot continues to trend down and a repeat made NCIS LA a non factor. The NCAA Championships were on as well, but Castle improves and holds it's own in that crowded 10pm slot. This is good news and is beginning to turn some heads.
Here is a nice article talking about the trend up. Still on the bubble, looking to open the bubbly, but not quite ready to pop the cork, ABC will keep a close eye on it's long running procedural crime drama.

I have to say I'm surprised by these numbers. The BB game had big numbers so I thought that would effect the numbers of the network shows more. Hopefully TPTB will take note that now that they have Caskett together and the team back solving murders people are watching again?

Hopefully TPTB will take note that now that they have Caskett together and the team back solving murders people are watching again? I think it may be even better next week as people are pulled back into this fine show. As we know, once you eat from the fruit and bathe in that electricity of Castle and Beckett, YOU ARE HOOKED... It's like, the show fades to black and YOU WANT SO MUCH MORE!!....DWTS still helps Castle, but the show, if it stays true to form, will almost certainly grow some legs and begin to stand on it's own again. ABC has to notice this, they can't be blind to the truth. As of now, there is nothing better to put at that time slot. I THINK HAWLEY AND WINTER ARE LISTENING NOW. THE FANS HAVE GOTTEN THEIR ATTENTION. THIS IS THE KIND OF QUALITY SHOW THAT WE HAVE GROWN TO LOVE. I mentioned in another thread that I would like just a little more verbal foreplay between Caskett because that leads to the magic that makes this show what it is. That sexual tension between Castle and Beckett when swapping theory and finishing each others sentences and "I know who the Killer Is" routines can really put this show back on the map. It is on the writers now. I think Nathan and Stana are back on board, but even they still sometimes look a little stiff. But the ice berg is beginning to melt, so now the writers need to save this show. I fully believe that if the formula is tweaked, you have may have woken the dragon yet again. It feels like the actors are enjoying one another and it shows.. How about a nice 30 second spot now with a sneak peak for next week......give the people what they crave and they will eat it up. For once ABC please listen. I just hope it is not too late. Keep the ratings up and good things tend to happen. |

I am so hoping they end the season on a high note, even though the writing was not as good as previous season I have to say the acting from the whole cast has been superior in every episode, and hoping season 9 will have better writing.

kman Thanks for taking care of this. Sorry for being late this week, but happy it was taking care of. I'll be on the ball next week. As for the numbers, Castle consistency is really pretty amazing. Plus, pretty good viewer total.

I live in the LA area, and my local paper always posts the ratings each week. Since the season began, Castle has been in the middle of the pack, performing better than a lot of ABC's other hour-long shows. With episode 15, it was in the top third. Hope this is trending up; ABC renews the show, and the leads re-sign!

Here is the Renew/Cancellation Index from TV By The Numbers. Castle has been upgraded to on the bubble. I believe that if the demo reaches 1.3 than it's a safe bet to return. But you never know. And of course, the leads have to sign up.  |
