TYBYTHENUMBERS.COM has their Renew/Cancel Index up for ABC's scripted prime-time shows for the 2010-11 season. According to the index, 'Castle' falls in the middle and its renewal can go either way.

Huh. Last season all I was hearing was good news about the ratings. And didn't it beat out Jay Leno that once?

Well, thanks for the heads up.

Beating the lowest rated show in Prime time isn't exactly a big victory.

:o Really! Huh.

I mean, I don't like Jay Leno myself, but I thought he was popular.

He was popular on the Tonight Show, but this 9:00 gig isn't working well. Even cable shows (Sons of Anarchy and Monk) are beating him. He's even loosing to reruns on other networks.

Really, as much as I like Conan, giving him the Tonight Show may have been suicide for the network. They were already in last place, and the shows that were keeping them afloat (Tonight Show, Heroes and Law & Order) are tanking. Conan has lost a huge chunk of the Tonight Show audience, and Leno wasn't able to reel them back in for his new show. Heroes and L&O will both be lucky to finish the season, much less come back next year.

I knew goin' in it was gonna get canceled.

It was still a fun run for sure.

Bye, bye Castle!

It is a good show, fun to watch and from what I've heard fun to produce, and I think the other actors will be able to do well from here.

In the very least, I think the show has made a lot of new Nathan Fillion fans, who have subsequently become Firefly fans.

Well, it's a bit early to write it off just because it isn't a lock for renewal. That was the point - it's in the middle - thus the statement "it can go either way". Ratings go up, it comes back, ratings go down, it doesn't. But a bit early to declare it dead.

Meaning: If we want to keep it, we must remember to watch it (not hard in my family) and must recruit fans and flans. Castle is much more likely to be mainstream-popular than that silly space cowboy thing.

The problem with TVbythenumbers nowadays is they don't count the online viewership numbers while the networks now do. There are a lot of people I know that view it the day after on Hulu. Also the book's popularity needs to be taken into account too.

I can't say my opinion on what'll happen, cause I'll jinx it
