I love Castle and Nathan Fillion! He's absolutely wonderful as an amateur sleuth, and I think we all kind of wish we had such a sweet gig. I know I wouldn't mind being able to trail a cop, just so I could see what really happens!<br />

One short-lived series (Midnight? Moonlight? Something like that) tried to cash in on the Twilight fiasco (kill me now) by creating a private eye who is also a vampire. Of course, it didn't work out. The whole private-eye-outsider-with-a-dark-past thing is taken to a whole new level there, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm all for mixing genres, but that was just stupid. Maybe the PI genre would come back in fashion if someone wrote a series that was actually good!

True. I miss them. I can't think of a one. I'm surprised, because there's a lot of private contracting going on, both in civil investigations and in espionage.

I admit to loving 'Castle.' I've always liked Nathan Fillion, and he's particularly good in this, I think. His female foil is also good -- tough and smart without being a cardboard cut-out. The only thing I've found not to like about it is that one of the supporting characters, the Latino cop, talks like he's got a mouthful of marbles. What ever happened to teaching actors to enunciate? I have to watch it with the captions on. I figure it's got maybe another season before it's canceled. That's…

I understand that Robert B. Parker is in negotiations to bring Spenser For Hire back. I'm not sure if it's a movie or TV series. If you recall, the late Robert Urich played the private eye in a TV series in the mid-eighties.
