Castle: ABC Series Gets Full Season Order; Out of Cancellation Danger?

by Trevor Kimball, October 21, 2009

Castle TV showABC gave sophomore series Castle an order for nine additional episodes yesterday, bringing the season order to 22 installments. With decent ratings, can fans of the show relax? Is it safe from cancellation?

Castle revolves around an egotistical novelist (Nathan Fillion) who teams up with a police detective (Stana Katic) to solve crimes in the Big Apple. The drama also features Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Tamala Jones, Jon Huertas and Seamus Dever.

Last season, Castle averaged 10.32 million viewers and a 3.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This season, Castle has been averaging a bit more than 10 million viewers and is down to a 2.5 rating. The numbers have bumped up a bit in the past couple of weeks and it’s been suggested that that news was encouraging enough for ABC to give it a full season order.

Still, the news isn’t all positive. Aside from the large year-to-year dip in the all-important demo, Castle consistently loses a significant amount of viewers from its lead-in, Dancing with the Stars. This week’s installment lost almost 45%. ABC is surely not pleased with these losses.

On top of that, Castle is expected to have its biggest challenge in the next several weeks. Throughout its first season and thus far into its second, Castle has always been blessed with the hugely popular Dancing to help attract viewers. That’s going to change in November. When Dancing goes on hiatus, Castle’s not going to have that big lead-in any longer and will have to stand on its own.

If you remember back to the 2008-09 season, Samantha Who? always did quite well with a Dancing lead-in. When it was left to fend for itself last season, the ratings fell apart and it was cancelled.

Dancing with the Stars is set to end its season in November. Will Castle be able to survive or will ABC decide it can do better? What do you think?

I am with Vita…..my husband and I rate this series on our top 5 and think it is well written with great lines and good acting. The casting is perfect. Compared to the other mentally insulting shows Castle is a breath of fresh air! It is very scary to see what is “making” it on the ratings these days as it tells a lot about the intellect out there. We look forward each week to the series and would very much like to see it continued. Looking forward to how the new relationship is developed by the writers.

This show was great at first.Now its the same show every week.The stupid high school tension between kate and castle is enough already.If the writers do not get them together the show better be cancelled.

It would be a huge mistake to cancel Catle. I wonder if they count the number of people who simply cannot watch it on the designated day and watch it on websites like HULU? We liked Castle so much we ordered the previous season dvds and books. The banter is great and camradarie between all the characters is fun. Has America really become so pathertic that if i isn’t reality, it is worth keeping on the tv? Reality shows are simply a way to minimize paying for real stars. Let tv be fun agian with shows like Castle instead.

I could care less about dancing with the dumb stars. I never watch it, but I always watch castle no matter what. I am over 45 and I hate all of the so called reality garbage. It seems you don’t have that many good shows and to end the season with becket’s supposed death was terrible. If you were going to end the show you could have ended it ona happy note. What kind of idiotic writers do you have? This might be the last time I watch ABC ever. I like body of proof and I will probably watch… Read more »

DO NOT CANCEL the tv show “Castle”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We finally get a really good detective show with such strong emotional ties and positive values and you want to think about removing it! Idiots!!! Enough of these stupid reality shows like Bachelor and idiots getting popped in the face and dumped in mud for money and stupid indecent kids like the Jersey bunch of losers. Castle has so many values that can be passed on and these others junk shows only teach selfishness, greed and lust!!! You are idiots and you are the real soul losers!
