Castle - Gets full season pick up Posted by DarkUFO at Tuesday, October 20, 2009 (View Comments) Labels: Castle

ABC has picked up a full season of Nathan Fillion's mystery drama "Castle."

The drama has shown promise on Monday nights, where it airs against CBS powerhouse "CSI: Miami."

Recent episodes have climbed from a modest 2.2 rating among adults 18-49, to a 2.3 and then, last night, to a 2.4.

With the back-nine order, that means ABC has picked up five full seasons of five shows this fall -- freshman "Modern Family," "Cougar Town," "The Middle," "FlashForward" and, now, sophomore drama "Castle," which debuted last season to modest ratings and therefore only received an initial 13-episode commitment.

ABC still has two more 10 p.m. shows without full season orders, "The Forgotten" and "Eastwick." Both have averaged lower ratings than "Castle" against weaker competition (though also with weaker lead-ins).
