I think Castle is cute so far, ditzy but cute. Echoes of Moonlighting are a bit heavy-handed. I'd like to see them tone it down a bit.

But have to note, on Eureka, Carter is divorced with a teenage daughter. Castle? Ditto. So is this a trend? I'm guessing it's to make the men more appealing to women. He's been married once, so he's not afraid of commitment. And those father-daughter scenes help show off his softer side.

Who knew Stephen J. Cannell had such screen presence?! Anyhoodle Castle is so frothy I think I'll keep watching. And get her haircut.

I enjoyed Castle - and though I liked the daughter, the mother grated on me.

"He's like a nine-year-old on a sugar rush." hee

I enjoyed Castle too. . . fun fluff with mysteries!

I totally loved Castle! Will definitely tune in next week.

The smugness radiating off Nathan's character was a bit off-putting to me, but the detective yanking him around by his nose and spotting the perp in his lie while Castle was oblivious helped with that.

I wasn't a big fan of her throughout the ep, but this endeared her to me. She's definitely the big "meh" in the cast--some of her other cops were more charismatic than her.

The mom totally reminds me of Ruth Gordon in My Bodyguard.

I think one of my favorite things was Castle taking off his shoe and picking up the handcuff key with his toes.

I like that the show has a certain amount of whimsy. It's not a flat out comedy, but it's quite light-hearted in many ways. I do wish they had a different lead actress, though. I'm just not sold on her.

Yeah, I really didn't like her. I didn't think that she sold the "hard bitten cop" thing.
