While only a month ago, this would've surprised us, given the last few weeks we are not surprised to hear that Castle has been renewed.

We are still in shock over Dollhouse, that Castle has us feeling, "Yeah, so, who didn't see that coming?"  We're not surprised, and compared to Dollhouse, Castle's renewal seemed certain at this point!

What next, Privileged?

Well, there is Scrubs, but once we saw  yesterday that the primary cast had signed on for 6 episodes, that seemed like a a certainty too.

    The primary cast including Braff? I also thought it was going to become a spinoff with the new interns.

  2. Well, that’s nice. Maybe I should check out Castle, since I find Stana Katic kind of interesting. Saw her in “Spirit” and “Quantum of Solace” (she was the Canadian agent at the very end, a small role, but she looked fabulous.)

    And of course Nathan is a character in anything he plays.

    I’m not a procedural person, except for Leverage, but maybe I should check Castle out.

    Hmm…Scrubs ended pretty much perfectly (as in, the series finale), after multiple seasons that didn’t live up to the first few. But are they seriously thinking about bringing back Turk without Carla? Erm.

    The show still should have ended years ago. And I’m not sure who can really take up the mantle of quirkiness JD has that is so important to the show. Given, I only saw the finale this season so maybe there are super brilliant characters created this season.

    I suppose ABC is really trying to prepare for the loss of Lost. And they’re still trying to have at least one non-complete-failure comedy.

  4. Great news about Castle. I thought it would be renewed, but rarely does a network’s plans jive with my tastes. lol

    Is this a joke ?

    Scrubs was renewed ?

    I know i keep going on, but why is TSCC not being renewed lol, people act like it was totally crap, it was far from it !!

    With this and the end of BSG, bad times!

    I guess Dexter/True Blood/Stargate Universe (hopefull)/Lost (ending after 1 season :( ) will have to keep me going.

    O i just forgot about Caprica ! :D little happier now lol.

    Also, im starting to get into Chuck, so im guessing thats going to be renewed and hopefully will start to really like that.

    Castle is a pretty good show. The mystery quality varies, but Fillion and Katic have some good chemistry, always makes it an entertaining hour. Glad to see it picked up in the ratings enough to get renewed.

    I just realized this would put Scrubs at just one less season than Friends. And one more than Will and Grace. Odd for a show that’s struggled in so much of its run.

    Um….where does it mention Scrubs in that article?

  9. YESSSSSSS!! Huge score! Thank you!!

  10. Chief, it doesn’t, but it is out in other places, like this:

    I’ve expected Castle to return, but it’s great to see it confirmed!

    Hurray for Castle and Dollhouse. Go Chuck!

  12. Tiffany

    Castle is the best so I’m very excited at this :D

    That’s great news. It’s one of my new favorites. Castle is just a fun show to watch. It doesn’t even matter what the case or the crimes are, they are secondary. It’s just fun to watch the interactions of the characters.

    ABC made the right call! Castle is THE best show on tv right now! Nathan Fillion is a genius actor and Stana Katic is too sexy for words!

  15. Douglas

    I like that Dollhouse and Scrubs is getting renewed. I think Scrubs would’ve been great leaving off with the new interns since the new interns are funny. I’m still waiting on news about Chuck since that is my favorite show.

    Congratulations to Castle and all of us who bombarded ABC with emails and calls. At least there is one good show we can watch.

  17. Nick C

    Nathan Fillion is a good guy even he likes to wear leather kilts… I’m happy it got renewed for him.

  18. Nick C

    All we need now is PRIVILEGED, KNIGHT RIDER, and THE UNUSUALS to be renewed. Then Robert and Bill will be really, really, really, really, really happy.

    No surprise. I called this back when Castle first premiered. I knew it would get renewed and everyone else voted for cancellation. Castle follows in the foot steps of Eli Stone, October Road, and What About Brian, as the sole midseason replacement drama to be renewed for a second year. If the pattern continues then Castle will be in the same slot as this year where it will likely be cancelled afterwards.
