Do you think Castle will be a mid-season hit?

TV By the Numbers is running a poll to see what people think will be the big hits and flops of mid-season 2009.

It doesn't seem to be getting many votes which is irritating. I hardly watch tv at all because I can't stand most of the programs. It seems that when a show which seems moderately entertaining (to me at least) is aired, it always ends up being judged a flop. The big 'yesbut' for that is that these shows capture my (perhaps) miniscule segment and not any other show. If the show I want isn't on, I don't change channels, I turn the stupid box off or pull out a DVD to watch. Sigh.

 I think it's going to be a big hit and that's just from watching the trailer. I like the chemistry between Nathan and the actresses that play his daughter and the detective. There are so many directions this show can go creatively. The actors in the cast are great at comedy but they also are very capable playing heavier, darker stuff.

 ABC needs to start running the promo on TV during various time slots to draw in an audience and we as viewers need to tell our friends- hell tell random strangers- about quality programming when we see it.  

I for one am getting very tired of all the "reality" TV show out there.  It's time we as viewers have more say in television programming and network executives need to reexamine their need for instant "gratification" or instant high ratings without actively supporting their own creations!

Castle seems like an intelligent show, with a strong cast, interesting story lines. It deserves a fair shot! I would watch it even if I wasn't a huge fan of Nathan Fillion! So I for one am only sending out positive vibes  for the SUCCESS of CASTLE and have already started telling friends to keep their eye out for it's debut in March!

 Castle needs a lot of promotion because it will be up against Medium & CSI Miami.  Both of those shows are big hits already.  

I wonder if Nathan will do the talk show thing again?  Can't wait to see him on The View!
