I am, too.

PI Feedback didn't call CSI Miami a loser, but it did tag Miami as "fading fast" and noted that it lost 56% of it's lead-in from The Big Bang Theory.

Castle actually picked up a substantial number of viewers from a very poor lead-in.

Next season should be very interesting if these two shows remain in their same time slots up against each other. I have a feeling Castle is going to claim victory pretty quick into season 9 if the focus goes where it appears to be going on Miami.

Actually Delynn Miami was 24% below lead-in BBT. I am not sure how this reviewer can call Miami fading fast when all he looks at are the total households. Miami won in the important 18-49 and viewers. Seems to be unnecessary bashing. Nobody is apparently watching at 10 p.m. Mondays. I did notice that NBA finals with Lakers were on at that time and they had very high viewership. That could be one explanation. I notice that NBC is placing a new Bruckheimer drama about US Marshalls on at the same time. Seems strange that Bruckheimer would want to compete with his own show. I am more concerned about this show than Castle.
