I love Monk!

Never heard of it. Story-line?

wow, never heard of it? its huge in these parts. anyway, basically Adrian Monk was a former policeman when his wife was killed. he then freaks out and develops massive phobias. 30+ i think. anyway, its a semi-comedy show about him. he gets fired as a cop, but is a 'consultant' for the PD as a detective. hes a neurotic sherlock holmes if you will lol

That sounds really interesting, although I don't think it plays where I live.

Yeah, that's a great show!

I have mixed feelings about the show. It has it's moments, the premis of the show is great; but the writers often go overboard with the silly shit. I can't say I'm a fan, but I've watched it a few times.

lol that sounds great. but no i havent seen that one. im in the process of watching them on my netflix plan. 1 dvd at a time, 3-5 dvds per season. just started season 2 today.

Ah.  Pretty soon you'll be able to join the Sharona vs. Natalie debate.

I like that not all the eps are whodunits-- sometimes, Monk knows who did it and has to prove how.

ive actually seen newer episodes with the newer chick in them. shes pretty good. i still havent gotten to why sharona left yet though. dont ruin it. or does it even explain it?

The straight-up answer is:  because Bitty Schram wanted to leave.

The in-show answer is an absolutely awful travesty of a decision for the character of Sharona.  It's like whoever wrote that part of it never saw an episode of the show and had Sharona described to him in ten words or less.
