LAST MONTH'S MONK OF THE MONTH:
JUNE/JULY - Ted Levine
AUGUST - Bitty Schram
SEPTEMBER - Jason Gray-Stanford
OCTOBER - Tony Shalhoub

I did notice that -- and when he touched Sharona, it
was a lovely moment, like a singular gesture of trust.
I LOVE this relationship. 

- Melody

I loved the ep! Although I understand she was irritated
by Monk during the psychic reading, I did think Sharona 
was cruel to lick/bite Monk's hand. I didn't figure out
the ending, at least not exactly. I agree about Daniel,
the British guy. He's cute, *and* he has a dog! Two
qualities I like in a man! I loved the end when Monk
said he touched the poles to show his pride as an
American. 

- Jennifer

You know, what is truly deep and wonderful about
this performance is that one can imagine how 
profoundly he was hurt by her death...and is still hurt. 
It resonates in his performance, without being 
mentioned. 

- Melody

Sharona and Adrian will have to pose as husband
and wife in a marriage clinic.

Adrian is going to either go to prison or go undercover 
as a prisoner to solve a crime.

Dale the Whale will return.

Mr. Monk Gets Married will air in the next round of
Season Two in January sometime of 2004

Adrian's brother, Ambrose - who is reported to be a 
packrat and OCD to boot, will appear in an upcoming 
episode - there is a rumor that the role is to be played 
by John Turturro.

*  Did anyone else notice that the only people Monk
touched were Sharona and Benjy?  Sharona looked
surprised when he touched her. Since then though he 
has touched Gail, Sharona's mom, Benjy and 
Stottlemeyer

*  He mentioned that you take Cole to get to his
house (or apartment) and he also mentioned the
intersection of Cole and 17th St. Does anyoneknow 
if those are real locations?

*  Gail lived once in Seattle and Sharona in Miami.

I compiled a little list of things I noticed about 
Adrian and Sharona - you can find it here.  If you
have your own, please email me.

Detective Tami and her assistant Kim have found 
some addresses for you - are we good or what?

MONK:

"I'm looking for a small pebble. It's about the size of 
a ...small pebble" 

"I'm not stealing anything, I'm just combing through! 
I don't want to live in a world where a person can't 
comb through another person's mail!"

"Relax!  I have been handling refrigerators since 
I was fifteen!"

"This place is like a feng shui nightmare!"

"Hi Gail.  Listen, don't worry about Sharona, she 
won't get in the way."

"Your saint didn't pay for her candle."

Monk: "But it's even!" 
Teacher: "But it's mixed!" 
Monk: "But it's even!" 

SHARONA:

Sharona: "I prefer to take care of business first."

Audios of the Quotes - I take requests

Kim Robarts
(Rothie1234, Presca)
The little obsessive web mistress of many of
these pages.  I adore the show and actor, Tony
Shalhoub, though still have a soft spot for Tim 
Roth as well.  I adore to write and you can see 
many of my fanfics here and there.  I'm 34 and
from Halifax, Nova Scotia.  I live in BC currently
with my mom and two cats.

Tami
I'm Japanese/American, a second-generation 
Southern California native, married with no kids 
at home (unless you count our no-account dog!). 
My husband and I love going to the movies, we 
see 20-30 movies every year, including all the 
movies nominated for the best picture Oscar. 
My favorite color is purple.

Tanya
(DragonLady)
I love programs like "X-files", "Highlander", 
"Stargate", and even "Hercules & Xena". Shows 
that have a weird twist, but delve into their 
characters.

Keomi
(mariahcareyfan71084)
I live in Tulsa, Ok and I am a 18 year old sophmore 
in college. I'll be 19 two weeks from tomorrow. I have 
been a big fan of Monk forever. I love reading, hanging 
out with friends, watching Monk of course, spending 
time with family, and traveling.

Tony Shalhoub meets and greets fans at The William S. Paley Festival in March 2003.

What would you like for the show?

They should have an animated opening segment to 
the show, where they could feature a little cartoon
Monk to Randy Newman's song, might be cute.

I'd also love to see Gail and Adrian solve a crime 
together and learn about Sharona and Adrian's pasts.
Not to mention, I hope they round out the characters 
of Stottlemeyer and Disher more.  And, more of
Benjy and Dr. Kroger.

- Presca

Much as I love it in writing, I'm not ready to see a 
romance on screen yet. However, I'd love to see a 
richer development of all the characters. I want to 
see everyone really fleshed out, with complex histories 
and emotions. They started to do that with Ted Levine's
character in the carnival episode, they need to do more.

- Tanya

I think Adrian and Sharona will make a funny and 
cute couple so possibly see them get together.

- Keomi

I hope that we continue to learn about the 
characters' backgrounds. I'd also like to see a 
romantic relationship SLOWLY develop between 
Adrian and Sharona.

- Allison
 
 

The Adrian and Sharona relationship is a popular source of hot debate on many message boards around the internet.

Fanfiction Excerpt from my story
"Mr. Monk and The Gail Force Wind"

    “Oh – I see!” Dylan said, letting it finally sink in. 
“So if you see a spider you run for your life?”
   Adrian gritted his teeth.  “No, I have no fear of 
spiders…”
    “Heights, crowds, germs and milk actually!” Gail 
answered.
     Adrian could feel his blood pressure rise.  “Gail, I 
don’t think they need a full encyclopedia version of my 
life!”
     “Milk?  Criminy!  But, it just like – sits there, it 
doesn’t do anything.  Why on earth would you be afraid 
of milk?” Dylan persisted.
     Adrian just moaned and buried his head in his 
hands. 
     Gail put her arms around him before he moved 
away from her.
     “Now – spiders.  Ewww!  Those furry little insects
with the eight arms and beady eyes…yuck!”
     “Frankly, I think anything that comes out of that 
end of the cow would be scary, if you think about it!” 
Gail replied.
     Adrian couldn’t believe the conversation.
     “It’s not because of the milk itself!” Adrian moaned.
    “I believe in fact it is the bacteria!” Giles answered. 
“As with most dairy products, the build up of which is
not always satisfactorily removed through the
pasteurization process!”
     “Can we please talk about something else!” Adrian
said, bitterly.
