Why did Bones turn you off? (I tried it and it didn't work for me - but that's more due to a combination of procedural and I didn't like either lead. I liked the supporting characters, but the lead female character annoyed me.)
Castle - actually Stana Katic was fired because Fillion and Katic could no longer be in the same room together. And unfortunately most people were watching for Fillion and Katic. Fillion won - he has more clout than Katic does, and could get another series, also it was cheaper to get rid of Katic than try to do separate stories. They truly hated each other. This happens a lot on these types of shows? Moonlighting (by the third - fourth season, Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard could barely stand to be in the same room with each other), Remington Steele? Same problem. Bones is among the few that didn't happen - which is why it lasted the longest. NCIS - various actresses couldn't stand Weatherly and left after being paired with him. Bull - Eliza Dusku sued Weatherly (he was a problem).
Say what you will about David B - but he only had issues with supporting or guest actors, not the lead.
