Monk is a good show.

[Millennium]

I haven't seen it in a while, but I enjoyed it.

What's happened to Sharona?

This is one of those shows that I don't know when its on....nor do I really look to see when its on. But everytime I flip to it, I can't leave it. Same goes for "Dead like me".... But I think I may catch the next season... whenever that will be.

Great show and keeps getting better. Sharona's replacement seems like a good fit - should make for some funny shows. My wife and I never miss it. It's on Friday nights at 10:00 pm EST on USA. Gotta love having a DVR.

monk is a great show. i've been waiting for the new episode for months, and then i forgot about it. thankfully they reran it. now i have my dvr set to record it.

i had nothing against sharona, but i think i prefer her replacement. she seems like she will 'baby' monk less, maybe help him in the long run.

i wanted monk to take the bird home. they were perfect for each other

[mitchell_pgh]

I really like that guy... Do they have any of his shows on DVD. Perhaps I can Netflix them?

I can't agree. I like this new lady just fine, but there was something special about the Monk/Sharona (and Tony/Bitty) relationship. The beginning of the episode illustrated that perfectly to me -- it was heartbreaking to see Monk dealing with Sharona's departure. Again, I'll also miss Benji and the way Monk was a father figure to him. This new girl is no Benji.

So did I, but he couldn't. Even if he took him home, they'd both still be alone. I think it's supposed to be Monk's own Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. He's going to start changing things if he doesn't want to end up alone.

The first two seasons of Monk are available on DVD.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Center, above, with mustache)

Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) is Adrian Monk's former boss, the man who was forced to let Monk go from the San Francisco Police Department when his obsessive compulsive disorder began to interfere with his ability to investigate cases and interact with his fellow officers. But even though he is no longer a member of the force, Stottlemeyer still often calls on Monk to provide his unique insights into cases that have San Francisco's finest stumped. Although Stottlemeyer is a highly decorated detective, he knows he will never be as good as the illustrious Monk - and that fact often drives him crazy.

I just discovered who he was in a previous life.

I've always liked Tony Shalhoub. He's had a couple excellent roles in the Coen Bros. films, and that's a sign of quality for me right there.

Only seen Monk a couple times, but that's the way it goes when you lead the international playboy lifestyle...

[Chuckit]

Ah, a year and a half ago. Good times.

Incidentally, I've hardly watched Monk since Sharona left. Natalie is kind of hot, but less engaging than your average potato.

[demograph68]

I noticed that I created this thread. Incidentally, I'm busy cleaning the kitchen like a maniac.

Start a new thread-don't resurect one that's over six months old, let alone 18 months old!
