Loving Castle

My wife and I DVR'ed the full season of the ABC show Castle after seeing the commercials. It brought back memories of Moonlighting for me. Yet, when I finally saw the show, I decided I liked it a lot more than Moonlighting.

Rick Castle (brilliantly played by Nathan Fillon, formerly of Firefly) and Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) play off each other perfectly. Their interaction plus Castle's family life with his mother and daughter make this not only a great mystery/crime show, but also a wonderful family series. His kooky older mom, and worldy teenager often give Castle the tips necessary to solve the cases. Great chemistry, interesting cases and unexpected plot twists and turns make this one of the shows I'm most looking forward to returning this fall.

Hopefully they don't rush to put Castle and Beckett together romantically to soon. That proved to be the death knell on Moonlighting, I'm hoping this far superior show (sorry Bruce and Cybill) continues to play up the sexual tensions, while solving weird crime after crime.
