TV show description:
Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is an incredibly famous mystery novelist who has become bored with his own success. His life starts to get interesting when he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murder scenes based on his novels.
Rick is soon questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a very bright and aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under a tight rein. Their styles instantly clash yet sparks begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Rick steps in to help Kate find the killer. Once that case is solved, the author decides to use her as the basis for a new book series.
Rick uses his connections to get permission to accompany Kate while she investigates other cases, much to her frequent irritation. But Kate has a reputation for looking for “freaky” cases so she needs all the help she can get.
Others on her team include Kate’s confidant, Medical Examiner Lanie Parish (Tamala Jones); sardonic Detective Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas); and Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever), a nice guy who’s always ready to offer obscure facts. Captain Roy Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) is their boss who makes sure that Kate’s cases go smoothly, in spite of all of the strong personalities involved.
Rick’s mother is Martha Rodgers (Susan Sullivan), a diva and former Broadway actress, who still seeks the spotlight and often ends up getting involved with the police cases. Alexis (Molly Quinn) is Rick’s quick-witted and insightful teenage daughter who keeps her famous dad in line.
Rick and Kate build upon their new relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York — as much fun as one can have with death & murder.

What do you think? Do you like the Castle TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?
Castle is one one best drama cops show writien…if abc cancels it they dont know what they are doing you just cant give a show a season then call it quits you need to give it time and run with it.

This show has kept my suspense going and wanting more and more each week plus it gets me though the week and i cant wait for each mon to… Read more »
I think the ABC show “Castle” is a smart one hour show and reminds us of the old “Moonlighting” show. It’s fast-paced, well-written and the two main characters are a true match for each other. The rest of the supporting cast just makes it all complete. Sure do hope we can be smart enough to bring this one back in the Fall.
I realy look forward every week to this show. My brother and i keep saying that show ends too soon. Please do not cancle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Its hard to find a show that can keep my attention that well but casel does please keepm it.
I love watching castle!! If they cancel it, then they’re just stupid.
I adore this show. It only took one episode to hook me like a salmon in spawning season.
I have thoroughly enjoyed Nathan Fillion since I saw him in Firefly. You can tell that the actors are enjoying their work and that Mr. Fillion is having a blast with this role. I have played each episode at least twice and sometimes more. I really hope that this show goes the distance because I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Please do not cancel Castle. It is a great show!. I cannot get enough of Castle.
Please give Castle another chance.
Absolutely love ‘castle’. what a great show. Love all the characters. Nathan is awesome. great acting. Love all the other characters too including the daughter and the mom and the other detectives. Stana is beautiful and perfect for her role.
Keep this show!!! Bring it back. I was very upset when Women’s Murder Club was canceled. I really hope this show makes it. I watch nothing else on Monday nights so this show I look forward to seeing.
Please don’t cancel!! First series on ABC that I actually enjoy watching. Its funny and witty. Loved it from the first episode. It would be sad to see a great series go to waste.
Finally an ABC show worth watching. I can’t get enough of this show. It’s such a twist on the 100 different detective stories already on TV. Nathan is great as usual. He makes the show alive and funny with his great witt. I would be really upset if it gets cancelled. All these other dumb shows on the air right now do not need to be here, but keep Castle!!
I love this show. Castle is amazing! ABC would be dumb to cancel this show. It makes Mondays great. Nathan Fillion is GORGEOUS!

don’t cancel Castle, it is watched by loads of us, it is loved for not being run of the mill crime drama, and the writing is great along with the actors
Please don’t cancel Castle!! It’s a great show: witty, funny, inventive, intelligent, and different than all the other formula crime-solving shows. Great cast with great chemistry, fun dialog, but still an interesting crime drama. Please keep it on the air!
Yo , even over the water in England this show is kicking !!! Why end a decent top end show, you crazy?
