As an employee of DISH Network I had heard about this awhile back but now that it’s live and I’ve had a chance to use it I’m really excited about it.

The guy is just fun to watch. And what show hasn't started off with stereotypes that grew into their own? As long as 'Castle' is on, I'll be watching it.

Sure, it was cliche and corny, but it was actually entertaining (mainly due to Fillion's performance). I'm concerned, though, that past the first episode it will devolve into yet another goofy-cop crime-solving show. Since the "murders inspired by the books" storyline was apparently only one episode long, it would seem that it will now revert to standard procedural territory.

Similar to Bones minus the lab. I don't know how anyone can call it "muddled". It was very straightforward and easy to follow. You could argue it was too easy going, but that is about it. Going back old school tv it reminded me a little bit of Remington Steele with the dynamic they are going with the characters and the humor level. Of course being compared to the complexity of a 1980s show isn't the best thing either. Having finally seen it all it seemed to me to be a light and harmless show. Similar to Bones minus the lab.

I enjoyed the boyish charm of Fillion although I wasn't crazy about the woman detective. I liked the mom and the daughter. A little light entertainment is just the ticket at the end of a long hard day. With Chuck and Castle as bookends, who needs more? And I liked the cameos! I thought the show was really good.
