But it has changed.

One of our favorite TV shows is back. Monk is on USA networks and is probably our favorite show. But, for reasons yet unknown, Bitty Schram seems to have left the show. This leaves some serious gaps in the program. The relationships that Bitty had with the other three principal characters was very important to the show. Additionally, the way that she left (off to get back together with her nasty ex-husband?!) and the fact that her replacement (Traylor Howard) is a bit too close a match led Shawn to say that the show has "Jumped the Shark". I can wait a bit, but

BTW- We got a TiVo for Christmas from Shawn's mom. Thanks Faith!
