In a perfect world, all our favorite shows would last forever. We’d happily spend the next 20 years watching Castle and Beckett grow old and grey and nerdy together. No lie!

But in real life? All good shows must come to an end. Hit crime dramedies (sadly) included.

On the bright side, many a dramedy has withstood the test of time. Grey’s Anatomy and Bones both debuted on small screens in 2005 and are still searing through viewers' tender hearts season after season. NCIS and its various spin-offs has been frontrunners on the scene since 2003.

Castle — which didn’t crop up until 2009 — is actually the baby of the bunch.

And while we may often worry about the show’s fate, Castle execs seem confident in the staying power of their witty little crime procedural. Despite its late-in-the-game renewal, Castle creator Andrew Marlowe told Wetpaint Entertainment in May, “Hopefully we’ll continue to deliver really great TV. And I think we’re putting ourselves in a great position to do that.”

We must agree with Andrew on at least one count: Caskett’s saucy end-of-season hookup certainly guarantees us a successful (and sweaty) Season 5!

But what about after that? Alexis's college conquests, the ups and downs of Caskett’s burgeoning relationship, Lanie and Esposito’s hot (and heated) tension — how long can it all last?

How many seasons do you think Castle has left on its clock? Lay it out in the comments!

沪江娱乐快讯: 在一个完美的世界里,所有我们喜欢的剧集永远也不会结束。我们很愿意再花20年看着卡塞尔(Castle)与贝克特(Beckett)变成一对头发花白,絮絮叨叨的老夫妻。真心期待!

然而在现实世界里呢?再好看的剧集也会有完结的一刻。即使像《灵书妙探》(Castle)这样的热门罪案喜剧也不例外。

从好的方面来说,有不少剧集都经受住了时间的考验。比如2005年登上电视荧幕的《实习医生格蕾》(Grey’s Anatomy)与《识骨寻踪》(Bones)仍然还在一季接一季地折磨着观众们脆弱的心脏。还有《海军罪案调查处》(NCIS)以及其众多的衍生剧从 2003年起就是收视率的常胜将军。

而2009年才与观众见面的《灵书妙探》还资历尚浅。

我们常常为该剧的命运担心,不过《灵书妙探》的幕后团队似乎对这部风趣幽默,短小精悍的探案剧满怀信心。尽管较晚获得续订,但《灵书妙探》的主创安德鲁· 马洛(Andrew Marlowe)在5月时告诉Wetpaint Entertainment网站,“我们希望能够让这部非常精彩的剧集继续下去。并且我认为我们现在正处在最好的状态。”

起码在一点上我们和安德鲁的看法一致:卡塞尔与贝克特在第四季恋情圆满的美好结局令我们确信这部剧会迎来一个给力的第五季!

但在此之后呢?阿丽克西斯 (Alexis)收到了大学录取通知书,卡塞尔与贝克特进展迅速的感情经历了很多起起伏伏,以及蕾妮(Lanie)与埃斯波西托(Esposito)之间的暧昧情愫这样的剧情还能吸引观众多久?
