Castle Cancelled By ABC – No Season 9
“While we’re still trying to process all the emotions stirred up by recent events, the feeling that stands head and shoulders above all else, is gratitude,” showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter said in a statement. “Eight seasons. A hundred and seventy three episodes. None of it would have been possible without you — our loyal and passionate fans. You are the reason this show survived and thrived. Without you carving out ‘Castle Mondays’ every week, we would never have been able to make the show we love for as long as we did. So thank you. And thanks to Andrew Marlowe for creating such a delightful world, centered around a love story for the ages. It was an honor and privilege to shepherd the story of Castle and Beckett this season. And finally, thank you to our cast and crew, who have been our family for these last eight years. Who elevated every script by investing the best of themselves into each episode. We will miss you profoundly.”

I will really miss this show! Please find some other venue to show off Mr. Falion’s (?) talents. He was great in Firefly and it was wonderful to see him in a long lasting sitcom appreciated by a wide audience. His wit & expressions are remarkable and truly adorable. Bring him back. PLEASE!

You chose a very odd way to show your gratitude by taking the six seasons (minus S6E23) of an all time great series and turning it into the trash that you fed us for the last two years. No one has yet to apologize for crushing long time fans for the disaster that was “For Better or Worse”. Although Bruno Heller’s series The Mentalist was nowhere as well done as Castle’s S 1-6, he at least had the decency to try and satisfy his fans when he decided to wrap the show. What is truly irksome about it is that the story lines were right there, as clear as could be, waiting to be taken to a natural conclusion. Instead you chose to re-write the entire mythology for no reason that anyone has ever explained to my satisfaction. I think I would feel better about everything if someone, ANYONE, would have the courage to step forward and tell your loyal fans why this was done. I don’t hold out much hope. Thanks for nothing.
