Castle

Castle is the story of Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion. Castle is a best-selling author who lives with his mother, Martha Rogers – played by Susan Sullivan – and his daughter, Alexis – played by Molly Quinn. They live a posh life in a penthouse apartment in New York City. Castle is known for his crime novels. In fact, sometimes, he plays card games with other great crime novelists of our time, and they discuss plot lines and murder cases. He finds himself with a case of writer’s block and finagles his way into a police precinct in New York, where he meets Detective Kate Beckett – played by Stana Katic – as well as Detectives Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas) and Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever). Castle’s friendship with the mayor of New York gets him a ride-along that soon turns into a full-fledged partnership with Beckett, and she becomes the inspiration for his next best-selling heroine, Nikki Heat.

The Premise
At first, Beckett is annoyed with Castle’s presence. She is a serious detective driven into the profession because her mother was murdered when she was younger, and she wants to find her killer. This becomes a storyline that is threaded through all four seasons, as we sometimes see Beckett getting closer and closer to her mother’s killer, only to be thrown off track again. In between this storyline, Beckett and Castle, whom she becomes quite attached to, along with Esposito and Ryan, solve different murders every week. Castle is known for his harebrained, sometimes wacky theories about who the murderer is, and he’s right about as much as he’s wrong. However, having a writer on their team proves to be beneficial, because he usually sees something that they don’t. As you might expect, Castle and Beckett dance around a romantic interest, but as yet they have not acted on it.

Richard Castle
Part of the marketing strategy for Castle is to create the personae of Richard Castle and for him to have a presence in the world. “Richard Castle” has released three books since the show started titled Heat Wave, Naked Heat, and Heat Rises, released in 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively.

Why is TV Viewership Dropping Down

The Web’s Taking Over
A research study indicated, that young consumers who fall in the age group of 18-30 years are spending more time on the Internet than watching TV. Also, people in the age group of 31-44 years also spend more time being online than watching TV. There are a couple of valid reasons why TV has been losing its viewers. The major contributor to this is the Internet. TV, now, has become a subset of the web. Everything you find on TV can be found on the web, but not vice versa. PCs and tablets are more interactive and are broadly used compared to the television. Videos of one’s favorite songs, soaps, etc., can be downloaded and seen whenever one desires to. So, who really needs the TV now?

Unemployment
There can be a possible link between increasing unemployment and the decreasing TV viewership. Ideally if one is not employed, then he/she would spend more time watching. But, what if the financial state of that unemployed person is such, that he/she can’t afford a cable connection? Yes! That’s the kind of financial state, many people are in today. To a small extent, if not large, unemployment has been a reason for the decreasing TV viewership.

More People Living Together
A drop has been observed in the total number of cable connections this year. Many cable connections have been cut off. This is because, those who had taken a housing loan and were hit by the recession, moved back to living with their families. With this, the requirement of an additional cable network is already dismissed.

Excessive Viewing of the Same Soaps
A report by Nielsen stated that almost 20 top cable networks have experienced a decline in their viewership. Also, the established and the most watched channels have faced a decline in their viewership, by a rate of 15%. The viewership for the top rated TV soaps like Seinfeld, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, etc., has reduced considerably. And instead, viewership has increased for channels like CNN, and The Weather Channel. This clearly indicates that the interest people had in these soaps is not the same anymore. This could be because of an overdose of watching the same soaps all the time.

A lot of questions have been raised on how the decreasing TV viewership is going to hit the television industry. There has been a shift in television advertisements to other carriers. Restaurants, newspapers, websites, etc., are now receiving the diverted advertisements. This will definitely distort the revenue earned by the TV industry for the time being. But in the long run, because of the increasing competition with the web, there is more scope of innovation and creativity. This will only improve the content seen by the viewers.
