This Monday was the first new episode of Castle after a long break and the first time Castle has aired against a new episode of Law & Order. The results for the new episode "The Mistress Always Spanks Twice" are pleasing with a 2.4/7 share in the 18-49 demographic and a total of just over 9 million viewers. Numbers for Castle's lead in "The Bachelor" wedding special were down from previous Bachelor episodes so the numbers for Castle are very encouraging.

Marc Berman gave it an honorable mention in his recap. That doesn't happen very often. Castle did a good job of holding the numbers out of The Bachelor lead in. And the gap is closing between Castle and CSI: Miami. L&O didn't have an impact like I thought it might either. The DVR numbers have been exceptional too.
Having said all that am I the only one who is a little disappointed that it fell another tick in the key demo? I'm not being negative nor am I worried about a renewal or anything like that. We see all the positive stuff listed above and the break between episodes doesn't help momentum either. It just bums me to see it logging numbers closer to the beginning of the season than what we were doing in the middle to later episodes.

I think if you take a look at the whole 10pm hour – in context Castle did pretty well last night.

Hung in with CSI and blew Law and Order out of the water.Seems they are very consistantly in the ~9.5 million range with higher numbers from time to time.Shows me Castle has a loyal fan base that consistantly watches every new episode.Their is a large veiwership in the non-key demo.Those of us over 49 watch in droves.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. I listed all the good stuff and mentioned that the hiatus probably hurt the momentum it was building. Hard for people to keep up with how crazy the schedule has been. I was just bummed is all. But I think we can all agree that it will finish the season out strong with a string of consecutive episodes.

Yeah, and next week another break. Who wouldn't be confused? If I weren't a fan, I'd be for sure.

Agree, it's definitely extremely confusing for the casual viewers.

Considering the month we had off, I think it's doing pretty good. Our schedule in the back half is getting confusing, so the fact that we are still holding a solid audience after a whole month really says something. It would be nice if it were higher, obviously, but given the circumstances, I'm not complaining :smile:

Excellent news! I never thought L&O would take viewers away, I don't know anyone who watches the original anymore, myself included (even if it wasn't up against Castle). It is unfortunate that there is another break next week but that's how March goes. With the Olympics this year there have been more repeats/off weeks than in a typical year, but the show is still holding strong and the two-parter is likely to bring in a LOT of viewers.
I'm very happy with where things stand with the show, and ABC obviously feels it's strong enough to stand on its own, though this totally crazy cast on Dancing with the Stars this season won't hurt as a lead-in either.

I am definitely in agreement that given the hiatus and the ratings for CSI Miami and L&O this week in comparison and the moderate lead-in from the bachelor (less than anticipated), that these numbers aren't unexpected. I had been worried about L&O adding more competition, so I am glad that they seem not to have made too much of an impact! Castle should give viewers a great alternative to the competition going forward!
But I'm with Jamz in being a little bummed. November and January were such good months for Castle ratings, and I was just hoping they'd hold at that level or grow.
I continue to try to do what I can in terms of recruiting new viewers (too bad I don't know any Nielsen families!) and emailing/calling ABC and voting in polls. I just wish I could do more!
I am really hopeful Castle is going to get some great ratings with 17/18 and a string of new episodes. This show is SO good and deserves so much more attention…but I know everyone here already knows that!

I don't think there is anything to worry about at all. I was just bummed because we had such momentum and then the breaks killed it. I think next season ABC will be able to schedule it better.
I believe being able to finish out the season with a string of episodes will lead it to a strong finish.
