Just watched the Nathan Fillion clip with Lettermann on CBS. Much too short but it also looked hidiously disjointed as if large chunks had been cut out. I know The Late Show records earlier in the day so maybe there was more but it ended on the cutting room floor. At least Letterman announced Castle on Mondays at 10 over on ABC.

and why was he on letterman again? (I'm not blaming Nathan at all) but at least when Nathand AND Stana were on Craig Ferguson they got to talk about Castle I mean it's messed up they go on a late night talk show on another network and can't even promote their own show why just because it's on a competing network

I wasn't feeling well last night and just completely missed Letterman after waiting for days (should have taped it).  But it's terrible to hear this.  The rival network thing doesn't entirely hold up, because Craig Ferguson is on a rival network, too.  And I've heard other stars go on rivals and talk about their shows.  Nathan may have been nervous and didn't want to jump in with a promo.  But more to blame is the pr dept. at ABC and Nathan's own personal pr person, too – should have made that a requirement ahead of time.  Letterman is kind of known for sabotaging people who want to plug things if he feels like it.  Many of you won't remember Joan Collins ("Dynasty", among other things).  But she was on to promote an upcoming project (forget what it was – a tv show or movie that was current — this was a lot of years ago).  Only reason for her coming on.  And what did Letterman do?  Show a clip from a film she'd done many 10-15 years prior where she was semi-nude.  She was completely outraged, embarrassed, dumbfounded, etc.  And he just smiled.  I don't like Letterman's tactics – a good show is not about making your guests or their projects look bad, it's about making them look good and making the audience entertained (though I guess he feels he's entertaining).  Anyway, sorry for Nathan, sorry for ABC and sorry for "Castle".  We need good promotion now, not either no promotion or very little.  The 4th season could depend on this.

I don't watch these talk shows regularly but I've seen enough that when a guest I like is on they're promoting their latest project. Be it a movie, tv show, book, music, whatever. And network rivalary has never been a factor when it comes to tv shows. At least in my experience. Maybe they don't show clips but they at least talk about the show.

If it was a time issue fine. I don't like it but I can see that happening. Especially if the host doesn't do a better job of moving things along.

If something was discussed about Castle and it ended up on the chopping block … well … I don't get that. Seems you would find something else to cut.

I was a disappointed with Nathan's Interview, I wanted some scoop about castle and everything that was said was things I already knew. Stana's tweet was what made me want to tape it cause her tweet made it sound like Nathan was going to be dishing a whole lot of stuff about castle. Loved the interview but wished it could have been longer and geared more towards promoting castle.

Yeah, I was especially excited for this one because Stana tweeted we would learn maaany things. I don't know if she was being sarcastic or that the CBS guys just messed up whatever plans Nathan and the ABC PR Team might have thought for the interview.

I just couldn't believe Paris got 20 odd min and Nathan just 6.
