Nathan Fillion is in another show. It's fun, and worth the hour watch. Mondays at 10pm.

Castle is a bestselling author in need of a new protagonist, he finds one in a tough and pretty detective. It's just as silly as it sounds, but I'm enjoying it.

Two thumbs up from me as well.

Fillion and the actress who plays the detective have great chemistry, and use it to make up for the formulaic premise.

Here's hoping Fillion is finally on a show that will last more than a handful of episodes.

It's not Firefly, but it's a very good Moonlighting-ish sort of show helped A LOT by Fiilion's charm.

I liked Drive, but it never got the chance to survive. This one isn't Firefly, or even Drive, but it's fun, and Fillion is great in it as Monk said. I think it has legs in a 'Bones' sort of way.

I expected to read about either a fast food chain or a now defunct CD reissue label.

I watch this one as well - it's good stuff (and I've never seen Firefly). .

I can honestly say that is probably the coolest thing that will ever happen on "Castle".

The stories tend to be run-of-the-mill cop show "murder-of-the-week" types, but the chemistry between the leads is what keeps me watching.

So I take it that the stories tend to be run-of-the-mill cop show "murder-of-the-week" types, but the chemistry between the leads keeps you watching.
