I have been a fan of Tony Shalhoub since Wings, but as MONK he is incredibly. I find myself “doing” MONK things in the supermarket and in doctor’s waiting rooms,etc. No, I am not as extreme as he.
I am sadden that MONK is finalizing, however I hope Shalhoub finds another part as suited for him as this.

Yes, Captain Stottlemeyer is a great character, as is Randy.

I think the confusing thing about Sharona is that while the actress who plays Natalie is just much better, when they made the change in actresses they also changed some other things. For instance, the number of episodes about Trudy’s death decreased, and Monk also became less open emotionally. I think these decisions made the emotional fate of the character less dramatically interesting, and he ended up being more a clown than a good person trapped in a neurosis by his emotional baggage. So it wasn’t that Sharona was better, it is just that you got more involved in the Monk character in those Sharona episodes.

You people are crazy! Monk is the best show ever to grace USA’s airwaves and now they take it off. Forget that nonsense!! I’ll quit watching Pysche then too!!! Only reason I even watch Psyche is because it came on after Monk in the firstplace. Monk was the first and probably only show I have ever watched on USA religously. Too bad, another HBO-like move sinks the entire network below the projected first year viewership for The Hair Network.

It’s been a fun ride and I think 8 seasons is a great run. I really hope he finds who murdered his wife and maybe get’s married and becomes a full fledged detective again. That would be the best ending for me.

I hope it ends with him finding Trudys killer and getting reinstated on the Police force….course that would just open the door to run the series a few more years.

I am REALLY gonna miss MONK! When I heard about this will be the final season ever I was in shock, still am. I am totally in love with ALL the characters. Why is it ending only for 8 seasons? It’s not fair! To all the MONK fans, we will miss everybody on the show, esp. me!! Tony is a legend! ALL WILL BE MISSED. I WILL GET ALL 8 SEASONS ON DVD EVEN IF I GO BROKE!! God Bless!!

I’m glad to see Monk has so many erudite fans. I feel really bad that it’ll be over soon. I’ve watched it from the very beginning and although it’s had better days (and not because Sharona made it better) but it was still fun to watch. However, at least Pysch will still be around, right? Now that’s a great show!

Those who do not like Monk hold their annual convention in a phone booth. What dolts.

I hate to see it go, but it has had a good run.

I like Sharona and Natalie. Each got her personality and it’s natural that they’re written differently.

I’ll miss Monk/Tony Shalhoub and the whole cast members. I was just telling colleagues how last week episode was great and they agreed with me.
It’s one of my favorites.

R.G. that’s your opinion.

Monk was one of the best shows I have ever watched. Although I have to disagree with the people who say the character Sharona is better than Natalie. Sharona annoyed the living fuck out me. The way she acted bothered me. Natalie was just all round good character, I found it more enjoyable to watch.

Finally – another stupid show – GONE…

….and don’t argue with me – they tried putting it a free network and it bombed in the ratings there too…

It’s NOT a funny show!!!

This is one of the few non-sports programs I actually watch and I’ll definitely miss it. It had a great run, but thank goodness for DVDs.

USA has been cleaning up, for sure, over the last few years with their other shows. I wonder what’s next for the channel.

I don’t blame Traylor Howard, but her Natalie just isn’t as compelling as Sharona. I haven’t watched regularly over the past three years or so, but I’ll be back for the last few eps. When this show was good, it was very good, so I owe it that much.
