Castle is silly fun, but with very likeable characters and a general lack of fail. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it does have lots of people being good at their job, nicely consistent characterization. Light, fun, easy.

The Mentalist is a bit more meaty, but it has great team dynamics with a tam that actually like each other, more angst in the background, still quite a lot of humour, but lots of people being very good at what they do and other characters know it. Also, Cho's deadpan is the best deadpan.

Both shows have multiple strong female characters who are defined by their jobs rather than their romantic interests (though those may be present).

Yay! I've been watching Castle over the last couple of days--maybe Mentalist will be up next. :)
