ABC shows the week of April 1st all appear to be repeats, save for some of the newer shows. Here are spoilers for the next two weeks of “Castle,” and “Samantha Who.”

I’ve added “Castle” to the blog, as I’m watching it. However I’m not sure how much I can cover it really. Shows that basically wrap up a story in an hour or half-hour I find hard to discuss.

CASTLE AND BECKETT UNCOVER THE DARK SIDE OF PREP SCHOOL TEEN CULTURE WHEN A BODY TURNS UP IN CENTRAL PARK, ON ABC’s “CASTLE”

“Hedge Fund Homeboys” – A once wealthy teenage boy whose family has fallen on hard times is found dead in a rowboat floating along the lake in Central Park. As Castle and Beckett try to piece together the events leading up to his death, his friends do everything in their power to thwart the investigation. As they unravel the truth from the lies, a story of betrayal and obsession emerges. Meanwhile, Castle debates whether he can leave Martha home alone while he chaperones Alexis’ class trip to Washington, DC. Martha might be an aspiring “Life Coach,” but that doesn’t mean she’s trustworthy, on “Castle,” MONDAY, MARCH 23 (10:02-11:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Guest Cast: Jamie Chung as Romy Lee, Julia Nickson as Mrs. Lee, Nolan Gerard Funk as Brandon, Michelle Page as Amanda Kunal Sharma as Spencer.

WHEN A BODY FOUND WRAPPED IN A RUG TURNS OUT TO BE A CITY COUNCILMAN, CASTLE AND BECKETT DISCOVER THAT DIRTY POLITICS CAN BE DEADLY, ON ABC’S “CASTLE”

“Hell Hath No Fury” – When the dead body of a New York City Councilman running for re-election rolls out of a rug and into Beckett’s case files, she and Castle are thrown into the world of dirty politics. Meanwhile, Castle’s final novel in the Derrick Storm series hits the bookstores, causing his mother to search for any and all signs of failure. And at one of his book readings, Beckett tries to throw Castle off his game, only to learn that he has flipped the script on her once again, on “Castle,” MONDAY, MARCH 30 (10:02-11:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Guest Cast: Bruno Campos as Calvin Creason, Joshua LeBar as Jason Bollinger, Lisa Waltz as Laurie Horn, Michael Reilly Burke as Frank Nesbit and Jonathan Banks as Bruce Kirby.
