Nathan Fillion show among ABC's midseason offerings!

Nathan_lFYI: You know a crush is inappropriate when you’re using an exclamation point.

ABC has announced five new series for midseason: According to Variety, Castle, featuring PopWatch favorite Nathan Fillion, is a "comedy-driven, New York-based police procedural" that "stars Fillion as a novelist who helps the NYPD solve homicide cases." If there’s sexual tension with a female detective — and you know there is — I’m prepared to set my season pass now. Who’s with me?

Other midseason pickups include: The Unusuals, about a quirky NYPD precinct that employs Harold Perrineau, Amber Tamblyn, and Adam Goldberg; Rob Thomas’ Cupid reboot, starring Bobby Cannavale and Sarah Paulson; the sitcom Single With Parents, starring Alyssa Milano (nice of you to join us, gentlemen!), Annie Potts and Beau Bridges; and Better Off Ted, an office comedy that stars Jay Harrington and newlywed Portia de Rossi.

    Season Pass already mentally set! Shiny!

    Season pass/shiny! indeed: I can think of no actor with his track record that deserves a hit as much as Mr. Fillion.

  • Becky

    I agree! Nathan Fillion is amazing-I loved him in Firefly/Serenity/Waitress/Desperate Housewives/etc. He definitely is a talented and seemingly nice man who deserves to break into the A-list!

    OH MY JOEY BUCHANAN!

  • chelle

    so in for Captain Tightpants……

  • BrandonK

    I assume it’ll be called “Murder, He Wrote”?

    I’m so there; I’ve been waiting to hear of the show being picked up ever since I first heard about it. Now I just hope that it actually makes it to air, and then does well. I’m hoping that it scores a good time slot–and one that doesn’t compete with three other favorites.

    Yummmmy. I am thinking happy thoughts now. Thank you for ending my day on a high note.

  • Broadway Baby

    Yes please.

    He’s one of those actors i would watch walk across the street. He’s funny, sexy, and smart. Can’t wait for his new show and hope hope hope it is as good as he deserves.

  • kelster

    Mmmmmm, Nathan Fillion! That’s the best news I’ve heard all day! He would make any show worth watching! Look at all my exclamation points – inappropriate crush alert!

    Shiny!

  • chicky

    Okay, that’s a LOT of awesome-sounding midseason shows.

  • aleksa

    I see nothing inappropriate about a crush on Nathan Fillion.

  • Mandi

    I would watch Nathan Fillion in anything. Seriously. He actually got me watch Desperate Housewives for awhile, a show I generally despise. I’m not sure if I forgive him yet for that ;) but Castle sounds like a nice apology. So yeah. Shiny.
