TVLINE | Lastly, what’s the confidence level over there as far as Season 8?
Well, you know, our numbers are strong, though we’ve always had the older demo. We’ve never had the sexy 18-34 demo. I look at shows like Empire and I’m like, “Oh my God, is that even possible nowadays?!” It’s just amazing. So I’m very happy for all my friends that work over there, but we’ve never had that crazy, sexy demo. I think we’re hovering at like a 1.6, 1.7 [in the 18-49 demo]… 1.5 the other day… but we’ve always had strong overall numbers. So as far I’ve heard, there’s no indication that we’re going to go anywhere; it’s just a matter of getting everybody at the table and finding out. [Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, as well as other original cast members, have yet to sign new contracts.] Nobody’s talked to me about [re-signing for] Season 8, so that’s where I’m standing. And I’d like some answers, because my mother-in-law is very concerned that I’m going to have to get a teaching job. [Laughs] It’d be nice to get some answers soon.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring back Castle for Season 8 and MORE !!!!! I admit, I’m a late bloomer, I did not watch Castle from the very beginning, but I DID start watching about a year ago, and now I’m HOOKED, BIG TIME !!!!! You CAN’T take Castle away now !!!!! So what if you don’t have a viewing audience including ages 18 to 34 !!! Us older “folks” shouldn’t have to suffer because that age group doesn’t know a GREAT show when they see it !!!! My age group (I’m 52) are older and wiser, so listen to US !!!!! PLEASE !!!!!!
