2009-present
ABC (USA)
Created by: Andrew W Marlowe
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly C Quinn
What is it? Crime writer Richard Castle becomes an unofficial adviser to cop Kate Beckett, who happens to be one of his fans.
Why should it be an honorary SFX show? It stars Nathan Fillion. That appears to be enough for some people. But it’s also a show unashamedly stuffed with geeky references; in one episode Fillion don his Mal costume from Firefly again; in another the catalyzer from Firefly’s “Out Of Gas” is used as set dressing; in another he utters the line, “I was aiming for his head!” It’s also very, very good. You should be watching it.
