Network TV has a new comedy/mystery show - Castle.

You may wonder how a new mystery/detective series could get you to watch when network and cable TV is saturated with them. Nathan Fillion is the star luminary in the cast, playing the part of Richard Castle Can this really be the same person who played Dr.Pomattor in Waitress? Not doubt it is the same person who played Captain Hammer in 'Dr. Horrible's Sing Along'. Invoking the spirit of Phillip Marlowe, Castle will play with all your emotions with a powerful mix of comedy, mystery and romance. Ladies - there is plenty here for you also. Then there's Stana Katic as Detective Kate Beckett. She has earned a role co-starring in her own show, after playing parts in various episodes of other shows. Filling out the strong cast Susan Sullivan portray's Castle's mom and Molly C. Quinn plays his daughter Alexis.

But the best interest-riveting force is the writing. The pilot was well done by Andrew W. Marlowe, Barry Schindel, David Grae and Charles Murray. I didn't think they could sustain the twist and turns, fascinating crimes, and interaction between the characters for much longer. Happily I've been proved wrong.

Castle and Beckett are the classic pair who have a relationship filled with sexual tension, the male pushing, the woman keeping him at arms length. Much to her disdain, Castle is given permission to follow Beckett. He has redeeming qualities despite frequently getting in the way, speaking out of turn, and being a general nuisance to Beckett. Beckett can't help but grow to care about Castle as she learns to value his insights and appreciate the risks he takes to crack cases. Beckett's co-workers aren't immune to Castle's charms either. In one episode he perks everyone up with a new start of the art coffee machine.

Castle's mom and daughter are both full of contrasting elements. His mother is immature, takes advantage, and bears watching. The daughter is mature beyond her years, a great support to her dad, and keeps her grandmother in check. As a devoted father, Castle can't help buy show concern about his daughter, even though she's fully capable of taking care of herself. As Castle's daughter Alexis, Molly C. Quinn has the best acting abilities on the program. Expect to see Molly for years to come.

The show has become one of my favorites. I hope it will continue for several seasons. After ordering the Comcast HD Triple Play, I'm especially excited about the upcoming shows. I finally got an HDTV a couple of months ago and in a few short days I'll be enjoying Castle and all the rest of my favorite shows in full high definition sound and picture. I found a terrific plan online where I can bundle Digital Cable, High Speed Internet, and one-price Digital Voice into a single, easy-to-pay, inexpensive plan. I am really excited to try the Comcast broadband internet service I signed up for that will compliment my Digital Cable very well. The ancient DSL connection I had was so unpredictable and slow I couldn't watch any videos online or listen to great new music. That won't be an issue now. Now I don't have to deal with minute by minute charges, due to Comcast Digital Voice. I can talk to whoever I want, local or long distance, anywhere in the country and only have one low bill. If your locale offers Comcast cable you need to check out the offers available without waiting any longer. Look into them today before these special promos come to an end.
