An interesting article with a few Castle mentions.  No spoilers.

Good article, though I only skimmed it for the Castle references.  I think they hit on an important point: we all root for both Castle and Beckett and though Castle's family isn't terribly typical, we root for them too.  It's fun to see Alexis and Martha teach Castle lessons and Beckett try to help him raise Alexis.  As Nathan has said none of these characters, especially Castle, is perfect which makes us root for all of them. 

That and the entire cast has ridiculously good chemistry.

Really nice article and pretty true.  My top 3 shows were in there (Castle, NCIS, and Modern Family) so it's nice to know that people out there acknowledge when people are doing it right.

Thanks for the posting Leftfield.  In terms of the elements the article discussed, it's no wonder Castle is still increasing in popularity and has such a strong online fan base.  It really has that magic combination, with many heroes to root for, the hook of good character development, and likable (though flawed) characters with heart.  But the combination that works for one person isn't necessarily going to work for another; I'm sure the fans of canceled shows might think that their shows had the right combination as well.  So it's fortunate that Castle has the right combination for so many.
