Weird to see J.B. Smoove, here as Norman Jessup, playing something other than the buddy on a comedy series. In fact, it was really weird to see him on Castle only 24 hours after watching his Leon Black pretending to be a Jewish accountant in order to allay Michael Richards’ fears of Grote’s disease, on [...]
…and the clothes are to die for.
“Inventing The Girl” is a perfect example of what I really like about Castle. There is certainly a formulaic aspect to the case of the week, but they manage to do it in an interesting way. This week, I was sure I had figured out whodunit three different times [...]

I wrote in my preview post that Castle’s season two premiere was not only great, but it [...]
I have seen the future of Castle … and it is good. Well, the season two premiere is anyway, and the little promises they’ve given us, if they should be fulfilled, will make for a well-developed season, building nicely upon the groundwork laid in season one.
Lots of our favorite elements are back — quotable lines, [...]
I like Castle. I mean, it doesn’t hold a candle to The Unusuals, but it’s good, all the same. Nevertheless, I don’t much care for all the character nonsense that gets swirled around on the show, and discussed off of it. What difference does it make who they are or what they’re made of? Sure, [...]
