McManda January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 For comparison, the National Championship game scored a record 18.5 rating in the overnights, so that's likely a giant reason why things were down across the board. But yeah, it does seem to be that the general trend of ratings is down. High 1s is fine now, whereas even two years ago that would have been a death sentence. I wouldn't be too worried, especially if Castle's ratings stabilize in the mid/high 1s.

S55 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 I'm sure that the CFP game did affect those ratings, but I also noticed that a repeat of NCIS: LA, one of Castle's competition on Monday nights, did a 1.2 (why they switched it with Scorpion's timeslot befuddles me unless they're trying out the timeslot for a show doing well for them). Interesting that a repeat can do almost as well as a new episode on a competing network. But then again, I've felt for awhile that NCIS: LA may gain some ground on Castle over the course of this year. It already appeared to be late last year before the winter hiatus began.

Samantha84 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 NCIS:LA beat Castle in their last head-to-head [winter finales] and NCIS:LA winter premiere [1/5/15 ] pulled in a 2.0 and nearly 12 million viewers. I think they have gained ground on Castle. NCIS:LA is a better show, in my opinion. It doesn't solely rely on it's ship to keep viewers ... their supporting characters a fully realized and flushed out ... they do humor well + action and their case of the weeks are compelling and interesting.

Second in demo and tied with Better Call Saul (which may not matter because it's on cable, but it's interesting that it pulled the same demo numbers).

McManda February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 Even adjusted down ABC is probably pretty happy. I didn't see the half-hours, but how did The Bachelor do? It's got that minute overhang, which is why Castle will adjust down. People tend to tune into the Bachelor now because they're getting down to the end. The next episode will be interesting because it'll be DWTS's season premiere. No one really stands out as being must-see in the cast this season, but they're trying to draw people back in by "getting back to the basics", so there's a good chance people who have given up on the show already will tune in to see, at least for the first episode.

And I know everyone will be saying that it doesn't matter, Castle should be able to stand on its own, yada yada, but this season of DWTS is shaping up to be pretty mediocre, so there's probably not going to be any help there.

WendyCR72 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 For the first time (or at least as long as I have been checking weekly, which has been quite a while!) Castle has officially cracked the Top 25 in syndication ratings. Its weekend edition, but still. It joins the perennials i.e. Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: CI, and Blue Bloods, amongst the crime-oriented shows. (Comedies also seem to do well here on the regular, especially Big Bang Theory.
