Nathan Fillion show among ABC's midseason offerings!

Nathan_l FYI: 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.

Nathan should play another Captain; Captain America!

Holy mother of god an all her whacky nephews!--HE'S BACK (exclamation point completely justified). It's good to see no power in the 'verse can stop him, not even Fox (who, in all fairness, should now be gnawing off their own legs in reparation for cancelling him not once but TWICE). Phone book? Ha--I'd tune in to watch him read binary.

I love my captain, about time he is back on the screen !

I asked Buddha to please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket and I got Castle - I am so in ;)))

all shiny at my end

Nathan is back!! He just rocks, I first saw him when I watched the Buffy DVD's, and I truly believe it was love at first sight...if only he could have seen me, sigh. Super shiny!

So,what is ABC's problem that the NF show is a mid-season show? Dump one of those stupid reality shows and get it on!! I can't wait!!

Martha Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST

I missed the other midseason shows because I was too enthralled with the yummy Nathan Fillion photo to read the entire entry. So I think I've got an inappropriate crush, even without the exclamation points.

aaa Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

Whoo-hoo!!! Now I just have to remember to actually watch this when it comes on, as I live in the Dark Ages with no DVR...

Babs Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 10:15 AM EST

Agreed on the appropriateness of this here crush. Also that psh! on the "sexual tension with a female detective" - we need no other reason than Captain Hammer himself to watch this program.

Liddy Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 09:30 AM EST

I feel you (but not literally!) I've had a crush on NF since his One Life to Live Days. And bonus, he seems to be a genuinely nice person. I'd watch just about anything w/ him in it.

Christa Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 08:53 AM EST

I would watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book.

miora Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 08:00 AM EST

Ok...that picture made me swoon! Although, I am not that big a fan of the crime procedural..even if it's comedy based...
Now Cupid...I am going to totally go nuts about that. I remember watching the original 10 years ago (YIKES!) and I hope that this one has more success. Plus, it might make my dream possible to have a Whedon show, a Fuller show, and Thomas show all running at the same time. I heart all three of them! :)

Mandi Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 11:06 PM EST

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.

aleksa Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 09:08 PM EST

I see nothing inappropriate about a crush on Nathan Fillion.

chicky Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 07:45 PM EST

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

HSC Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 06:26 PM EST

Shiny!

kelster Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 06:17 PM EST

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!

andy Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 05:57 PM EST

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.

Broadway Baby Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 05:48 PM EST

Yes please.

Laurie Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 05:31 PM EST

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

Melinda65 Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST

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.

BrandonK Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST

I assume it'll be called "Murder, He Wrote"?

chelle Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 04:46 PM EST

so in for Captain Tightpants......

cd Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 04:31 PM EST

OH MY JOEY BUCHANAN!

Becky Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 04:23 PM EST

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!

Ellipsian Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 04:21 PM EST

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

Wendy Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 04:10 PM EST

Season Pass already mentally set! Shiny!
