Castle is a delightful show and I’ve really enjoyed it — but how is it ratings challenged? It’s coming in around 10 to 11 million viewers a week and it’s up against the acting challenged CSI MIami that only beats it by a couple of million. I thought the renewal of Castle was a no-brainer.

I’m so glad that Castle and Especially Dollhouse got picked up. As for it getting better josh, it’s just more proof that the networks have no idea what they were doing. The reason it didn’t start off as well as it should was that the networks, demanded that he re-write the pilot (they didn’t like it) then they didn’t show the shows in the correct order and demanded that the first 5 episodes of Dollhouse be stand alone episodes. After those were done and he was allowed to write the store he wanted it got very good and all the critics liked it as well, saying it “foundered” at the beginning. Of course it did, people who don’t watch or write TV try to tell those who do how to run it and surprise, it doesn’t work and then have the audacity to say, “We knew it wasn’t going to work, pull it”.

Josh — I would really recommend giving Better Off Ted another try. I didn’t think the first episode was very good either, but it was consistently funny after that.

Josh Emerson,

Like many of my favorites TV characters (see: ALIAS’ Marshall), Neil Flynn’s Janitor worked best in moderation. And while I may be in the minority here, I can’t help but feel that the SCRUBS writers went to the Janitor and his Brain-trust ‘well’ a little too often last season. So if Neil Flynn is moving on, I’m pretty much okay with that. As long as he drops by every once in a while to torment new staff of Sacred Heart.

BTW, I just read that ABC picked up The Middle, which co-stars Neil Flynn (Scrubs’ Janitor). Apparently his Scrubs deal is 2nd behind this show, so it looks like we won’t be getting as much of Janitor in this new season!

I’m interested to see how Scrubs turns out.

I watched both Dollhouse and Better Off Ted when they premiered and I thought they sucked. Maybe they got better as the weeks went on. Meh.
