Dancing With the Stars was down one celebrity from last week, but the ratings were up by nearly a million Monday night, according to overnight data. That translated to week-to-week increases of more than a million viewers for both its lead-out, the Bob Saget comedy Surviving Suburbia, and Nathan Fillion’s Castle. Fox finished the night behind the Alphabet with a special episode of Bones that led into a regularly scheduled 24. CBS came in a close third by spending the night in repeats, save for a new Rules of Engagement. NBC took a distant fourth.

I’m glad to see Castle doing so well. When I saw Nathan Fillion on Desperate Housewives, I never saw his true potential. His chemistry with Stana Katic is amazing! They are poised to become a legendary pair.
I love Castle! Great show and getting better every week! Already one of my can’t miss shows. Surviving Suburbia is growing on me a little.
Love, love Castle!
Keep Castle on the air, it’s one of my favorite shows, I can’t wait for Monday nights now.
