I love all the cast members in the new show Off the map.
That is kind of surprising. Most people, including myself, thought Off the Map would premiere after Desperate Housewives and ABC would move Brothers and Sisters to Wednesdays at 10 since that slot has not been kind to rookies.
Personally, I would move Castle to Wednesdays. It fits with the comedies tonally better than any other hour-long show ABC has and I think it has picked up all the viewers it's ever going to get. It makes more sense to premiere try a new show after TV's #1 show while filling holes with reliable players. Ah well.. time will tell if OtM is another doomed drama joining the scrapheap along with so many other shows that premiered in the same slot the past few years.
Rookie Blue is the best show of all the ones mentioned above. Why isn't ABC re-airing it instead of the Friday reruns or before Grey's Anatomy?. This way, it could be better known by the time the second season comes.
