I almost have an asthma attack doing the castle dance, squeeing and jumping, all because of this news.  WOW! what a nice gift for all of us.

Now all I'm waiting is an EMMY nod and I'll be completely happy.

I've been happy in my Castle overload state all day long. I don't want to leave it just yet.

Just think of all those new interviews and promos we'll be getting for the new season. Maybe a TV Guide cover finally? Emmy appearances? Surely another visit at the Paley Festival.

I'm so glad we are all on the same page with the excitement..cuz nobody else understands how freaking addicted I am. hahaah 

I do!  I do!  Believe me, I understand.  I'm losing my job at the end of June and should be sending out resumes when I get home from work, but I can't help feeding my Castle obsession!   

BTW, I saw this article this morning on AOL.com: http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/0…..?icid=main|main|dl2|link4|http%3A%2F%2Finsidetv.aol.com%2F2010%2F03%2F30%2Fcastle-renewed-for-third-season%2F

'Castle' Renewed for Third Season

March 30, 2010  by Laura Prudom

It looks as though Nathan Fillion will remain king of ABC's 'Castle' — at least for another season.

According to The Wrap, the slow-but-steady building procedural has earned an early third season renewal from the alphabet network, which will come as a welcome surprise to loyal fans previously concerned about its on-the-bubble status.

Season 3 will run for 22 episodes.

Ratings seemed lackluster last year, but ABC — in a rare move for a major network — stuck with the show and ordered a second season despite the shaky start, a move that clearly paid off when 'Castle' started conquering 'CSI: Miami' in the 10PM Monday time slot.

In fact, last night's episode — which was admittedly boosted by its lead-in, 'Dancing With the Stars' — drew a whopping 14.5 million viewers and a 3.7 rating in the 18-49 demo, a record high for the series.

The show has a distinctly 'Bones' vibe between the protagonists, novelist Richard Castle (Fillion) and NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), with most of the series' tension derived from the will-they-won't-they relationship between the pair. Fillion is probably thanking the TV Gods for finally sending him a series that has survived past the first season, after unlucky stints with the tragically cancelled 'Firefly' and 'Drive.'

After reading the part about how rare it is for a network to stick with a show after it brings in ratings similar to what Castle did in its first season, I'm even more grateful to ABC for the third season renewal, and for the second season renewal, for that matter!  A million times thanks to the alphabet network!
