Anyone worried that Castle might not get picked up for a full season can now breathe easy. Michael Ausiello is reporting that the ABC crime drama, which stars One Life to Live alum Nathan Fillion, has officially received its back-nine order, giving it a full second season.

Last night's episode of Castle, where Richard Castle has to choose between continuing with the Nicki Heat series or penning a three-book deal about everyone's favorite British spy, was yet another strong episode for the series. Much like my DVR dilemma on Thursdays, Monday nights give my DVR a workout and Castle is one of my must DVR shows. As far as its DVR status, Castle is like the Bones of ABC for me.

Dr. Horrible strikes again! The evil genius hijacked the 61st Primetime Emmy Award telecast, just as the accountants had begun to give an in-depth explanation of how the votes are counted. Fortunately, with the help of Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), the Emmys were able to regain control of the broadcast right before the accountants finished.

Nathan Fillion and Carolyn Hennesy fans have something to look forward to. ABC announced the premiere dates for most of its lineup, including Fillion's Castle and Hennesy's Cougar Town. The sophomore season of Castle premieres on September 21. Cougar Town –in which Hennesy has a recurring role– has its series premiere on September 23.

The only shows that ABC didn't include in its announcement were Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice and Eastwick.

Nathan Fillion has been on the roll. During the Writers Strike he starred opposite Neil Patrick Harris in Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog, the hit web action musical created by Joss Whedon. Earlier this month ABC picked up Fillion's new series Castle for a second season. READ MORE

Congratulations to former ABC Daytime heartthrobs Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, One Life to Live) and Seamus Dever (ex-Ian, General Hospital). According to EW.com's Michael Ausiello, The Mouse House has picked up their comic crime procedural Caste for a second season.

Keep your fingers crossed Castle fans. One short week after Castle earned  the "most startling show of support" in USA TODAY's 12th Annual Save our Shows Survey The Live Feed is reporting that Castle's ratings are up for the third consecutive week and are the best since mid-March.

Another headline Monday: Detective drama Castle [ 10 million, 2.8 ], which rose for the third week in a row to hit its best number since mid-March.

Castle rose a sharp 40% this week, benefiting from a direct lead-in from Dancing rather than having to wait for Surviving Suburbia to drive away all the viewers. This is the third consecutive week of growth for the freshman detective drama. Even considering the obvious help of the large Dancing lead in, if Castle holds a similar number next week, chances of a second season slide from uncertain to probable.
 

Hopefully Castle's improving ratings will help it earn a renewal. READ MORE
