Castle ratings figures appear to be up this week, though the final figure may drop a little as in previous weeks due to the usual overrun of DWTS. Castle gained viewers with a total of 9.99 million and an 18-49 rating/share of 2.4/6 this week. These steady ratings are very encouraging and combined with the excellent sales of Castle’s real-world novel Heat Wave things are looking good.

This is great, baby steps. And he is still beating Leno. I think the fact that the book is doing so well helps alot.
Castle Rocks!!!!!! ill watch it as long as its on
I am in luv w/Castle…I even announced it’s season premiere on my Facebook so everyone would know it was on. I even got some new people to watch and they luv it too.
Yay! I’m boycotting Leno thanks to NBC’s poor decision to displace their 10/9 pm dramas. And no matter what, I’m watching Castle. I love the show, and so do all of my friends. Oh, and Heatwave…I bought it but haven’t read it yet. It’s next on my TBR list.
I have loved Castle since the premiere show! I LOVE IT! Nathan Fillion does an awesome job with his character, Castle! The play; back and forth relationship, between Stana Kattic’s character, Backett and Castle is truly infectious! Watching that “thing” they both have for each grow is so cute and hilarious at the same same time.
“Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?” Ahahahaha…Just kidding… it’s a “coincident!”
This show is awesome to me…as you can see I love it and cant wait to start on Heat Wave!! And that was pure genius by the way; an actual book! Genius! =]
We love Castle and hope it makes and keeps the ratings that will keep it on the air. Clever writing, funny with a serious side, romantic aspect. Has it all.
We really enjoy Castle. The energy between Castle & Beckett is great. We will be buying the book. if it is half as good as the show it will be a hit. We can’t wait till the next show. .
Been a fan of Fillion’s since Firefly. When I heard he was going to be in Castle, I wasn’t so sure if I would like it – but his role fits his personality perfectly! This show is amazing and I now have the first season on DVD. Hope this series goes on for quite a while.
