'Castle' ratings: Almost there


Not only was Monday's steampunk episode of "Castle" fantastic, it also did great in the ratings... again.

According to the excellent website TVBytheNumbers.com "Castle" is within striking distance of "Hawaii 5-0."

In total viewers "Castle" is at 10.655 million and "Hawaii 5-0" at 10.699. That is only a difference of .044! For those non-math experts that is 44 thousand.

In the overall 18-49 year-old demographic "Castle" is at a 2.7/7 while "Hawaii 5-0" is at 3.1/8.

Even better news in the 18-34 year-old demographic with "Castle" leading with 2/6 vs. "Hawaii 5-0" with 1.7/5.

ABC quickly issued a glowing press release which stated that "Castle" was "Monday’s only network program to grow week-to-week among young adults."

While "Castle" continues to grow and improve in the size of the audience, the same can't be said for "Hawaii 5-0." Last week's audience was 3.5/9 (18-49) and 12.03 (overall).

By the way, I have to say that tribute to Stephen J. Cannell at the end of Monday's episode was very classy and well-done.
