					<description><![CDATA[In reference to Castle&#039;s ratings, I saw something on Twitter that showed despite the boost last season, the show has steadily lost viewers. And networks will tell you, the number of eyes on the screen doesn&#039;t matter. I think the show is down below what it was in season 5 in terms of viewer growth in the time-shifted viewing. So in other words, all this talk about still performing is moot. It&#039;s losing viewers, most of which isn&#039;t because of changing viewer dynamics. Quit hiding behind the belief that as the show is losing viewers because of people watching Netflix. That&#039;s just a bunch of BS. You&#039;re in denial.]]></description>

That thing about them not getting a long is a rumor that was started IN SEASON 1 based on a &quot;blind&quot; item posted by someone and was never actually even about Castle, Nathan or Stana. Amazing the life a false rumor can have!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Lower ratings&quot; seriously? Castle is still pulling more than 12 million viewers in a time when ratings for ALL shows are dropping dramatically. That&#039;s hardly &quot;lower ratings&quot;. Stop with the doom and gloom. 

Also, you don&#039;t have a clue about any contracts. For all we know main contracts are signed by now and they&#039;re just working out the finer details.

I&#039;m tired of all this mindless drivel that people are posting without even looking at the FACTS.]]></description>

I agree, it feels like they are not producing near the caliber they were. A few shows this season have been decent, but nothing like Veritas or In the Belly of the Beast or any of the ones u mention. I have always loved this show for its creative writing, but all the sci-fi sh*t and outlandish story-lines are getting to be too much. It&#039;s like they&#039;ve run out of interesting narratives. I hope for at least a shortened season just because I hate to see the show go, but not if it&#039;s writing like this season has been. It kind of feels like a joke, I was not once enthralled in gripping story-lines like I was in previous seasons. It&#039;d be sad to see it go. But maybe (hopefully) they can revamp next season if renewed.]]></description>

Read carefully!! I did not say the show had not lost live viewers...I said all shows had lost live viewers and much of it was because of the manner in which we watch tv now. Video..on demand etc.!!  since you obviously don&#039;t comprehend what is written lets just leave it at that.  Your opinion is as valid as mine ..however I disagree with it.. case closed!.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I want one or more long seasons. The fans, cast and crew deserve it and more. I do not know what the cast members earn and I do not care. Contract negotiations should result in an agreeable settlement for all assuming all are honest and reasonable. I believe that the bucket list being prepared by Beckett and, hopefully, by Castle should provide considerable episode foundation for two years or more. With an overall plan and structure for future episodes instead of a haphazard one fans should start to return. Back stories and mythology should be completed in no more than 2 episodes or should at least see some meaningful activity every 2 episodes or less.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Of course Castle should continue,at least 1 season of not more.There are so many good stories yet to tell,so many different avenues to explore.The writers are one of the best,if not the best in the business.And the same with the cast and crew. All these strange rumors about them,pls.stop.We do not know......we where not there.
Money wise they should be payed for what they do,for the very long hrs.and the dedication they put in so we can be entertained,and amused...So YES of course Castle should continue ?]]></description>

Do you even read what you write, better yet try comprehending your words.
If you said the &#039;opposite&#039; that would mean they gained viewers.(opposite of loss is definitely gained). And gained certainly does not apply here. Let&#039;s repeat, Castle has lost viewers because of the terrible stories they are dropping on us in season 7. I don&#039;t work there and I don&#039;t know why they did a U-turn in the script writing, but it was a big,big mistake. 
If you are attempting to boost up or compensate for the loss of viewers by comparing to other shows then your excuse is weakened by the fact that Castle has a history of remaining steady and dependable. 
Castle had steadily gained viewers through the seasons, which is what helped to save this show year after year. And while all episodes were not good or great, the majority were. 
Never has Castle dropped steadily week after week. I really never imagined a rating as low as 1.3 although I understood why people were leaving. But I kept hoping because they had such good scripts in the past.  
I now think that maybe they are beyond repair.]]></description>

I didn&#039;t say the show has not lost live viewers! In fact I said just the opposite! However all of the shows have lost live viewers steadily over the past couple of years due to the fact that we can watch on Demand! video recorder etc. And it&#039;s not just one season. That is just a fact. So though I am not a rocket scientist when I read a comment I am happy to say I comprehend what is before me.
So as to your smart comment, may I just remind you of the old saying which seems to apply to you in this instance &quot;it&#039;s better to have people think you are a fool then to open your mouth and prove it.!


Have a good day!]]></description>
