I just love November sweeps. The networks pull out all the stops to pull in viewers' eyeballs to spike advertising rates. Some shows pull it off, others don't. It gives the old DVR quite the work out! This week I tuned in for Gossip Girl, Castle, The Big Bang Theory and Heroes. READ MORE

Anyone worried that Castle might not get picked up for a full season can now breathe easy. Michael Ausiello is reporting that the ABC crime drama, which stars One Life to Live alum Nathan Fillion, has officially received its back-nine order, giving it a full second season.

Last night's episode of Castle, where Richard Castle has to choose between continuing with the Nicki Heat series or penning a three-book deal about everyone's favorite British spy, was yet another strong episode for the series. Much like my DVR dilemma on Thursdays, Monday nights give my DVR a workout and Castle is one of my must DVR shows. As far as its DVR status, Castle is like the Bones of ABC for me.
