. What Jane said. But I'd like to add my thumbs-up for both.
Castle has a little-boy excitement about solving cases, proposing wild theories that often spark an idea that helps the team solve the problem; IMO the detectives at the PD tend to regard him as that slightly dotty neighbor that everyone likes. They tease, but accept him. And I love the relationship with his teen daughter and his eccentric-actress mother; they have some very real moments of coming together and being there for each other. (Although the poor daughter has had to grow up far more mature than either her father or grandmother.)
White Collar is more complex, with a many-layered relationship between the con man and the FBI agent. They have very different views of life, but each can't help respecting and learning from the other. And the FBI agent's wife is not 'just' a wife; she's a successful entrepreneur with her own business. She also understands that sometimes her husband's job comes first without pouting and making him 'pay' for it (as in too many TV wives). They tell each other the truth instead of blowing up over misunderstandings (as, again, in too many TV-couples).
I have both on my list to buy the DVDs when they come out; both are well worth re-visiting when "there's nothing good on". .
