Yep. Love Monk. Bitty Schram was good, but I think I might like the show slightly better with Traylor Howard, even if her character isn't as strong.
Monk is good, wholesome fun. It's not vulgar, it doesn't try to shock you, and it's not excessively violent. I think that's part of the reason why it's so popular. Plus, I hope people are sick of the twenty-nine different flavors of Law & Order and CSI.
