News, reviews and posts for ABC's Castle

Latest episode clacks for this show:

Is sitcom quality limited by a finite amount of available humor?

Or, put another way, is there only so much funny out there in TV land that if another success story shows up, or something already on the air gets better, everything else is destined to get worse?
