I'm seriously more excited about the mid-season of this television year then I was about the fall premieres...Dollhouse being the big draw, but also coming up? Castle with Nathan Fillion. There is finally a trailer/preview out making the rounds...and I saw it moments ago. If you haven't yet had a gander, here it is:


Initial impressions

- A little on the cheeseball side BUT it reminds me a bit of those early 80's shows I loved so much (Remington Steele, etc.) and I think Nathan could be gangbusters in a serious/cheesy role like Rick Castle. BUT if that's the vein the show is in, I need to see more of the female lead to see if she can hold her own or if she'll just be kind of boring
- Like the interplay with the daughter...less cliche and stronger scene-vibes over all then some of the cop parts
- Had several very funny moments which bodes well (love the lines about "this is better then shark week" and Nathan's "that was so cool!")
- Since all the scenes are more then likely from the pilot, which isn't always the best anyway, I have hope that it has enough potential to get even better

What does everyone else think?
