Smallscreen - Castle
 "Click to view larger image")
Castle: Season One (Disney) is a crime procedural with a “fresh twist” to the familiar genre which involves the particular expertise of Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) a free-wheeling fiction-writer who looks at every mystery as a plot and looks for the motivations and structure that would make it into a great story.
Castle is a celebrity novelist whose connections get him a spot (as “consultant”) on a special detective unit, where his enthusiasm and complete lack of discipline clashes with the squad leader (Stana Katic) with dialogue written as if it were a classic Hollywood romantic comedy.
Castle is also a devoted dad to his responsible daughter (Molly Quinn) growing up way too fast.
Creator Andrew W. Marlowe took his inspiration from seventies detective shows and pays tribute to his inspiration by casting Stephen J. Cannell in the show (as himself, a mystery-writing buddy to Castle) and even celebrates Cannell in the season one DVD featurette “Castle’s Godfather.”
