Interesting that this was the third time the episode #209 Love Me Dead has been shown:
11/16 ABC Castle – Love Me Dead 2.6/7 10.86 (new)
01/02 ABC Castle – Love Me Dead 0.7/2 3.41 (repeat – Sat)
02/15 ABC Castle – Love Me Dead 1.5/4 5.69 (repeat)

I hope that last night's episode brought in some new long-term viewers! :smile:

I found this press release from ABC on thefutoncritic.com website:

ABC's The Bachelor Holds Strong Against Olympics

Some early info ahead of the regular press release for ABC's Monday night.

Monday Night (8-11pm): Holding strong against NBC's Olympic coverage with The Bachelor and a repeat airing of Castle, ABC stood as the #1 non-sports network on Monday with Total Viewers (9.6 million) and Adults 18-49 (3.2/8), outpacing its nearest competition by 1.5 million and by 23% in Adults 18-49 (CBS = 8.1 million and 2.6/6)…

Castle (10-11pm): Opposite NBC's Olympic coverage in the 10 o'clock hour, ABC's Castle marked its 3rd-highest-ever repeat results in both Total Viewers (5.7 million ) and Adults 18-49 (1.5/4).

Awesome news!

That's impressive for a repeat anyway but to do it against the Olympics as well? Nice going.

And I agree that airing some of the season 1 episodes would be better than airing some of the season 2 episodes 2-3 times.

Last night on the East Coast figure skating was on at 10pm. I know a lot of people were tuning in for that to see if China took the Gold (SPOILER: They did!). hehe.
