It's always hard to let go of a good story. Eight years is a pretty good run for a TV show, but I understand the disappointment. It’s always hard to let go of a good story.

Tony Shalhoub is amazing in this series. Sure, somewhat predictable story lines, but Tony's character keeps us coming back. Now that we are at the final season, we are sorta sad... I wonder what new show will displace Monk in the seasons to come? Sometimes I think that Monk's appeal is that he is sort of an exaggeration of most people's personalities... lots of quirky anomalies, yet each still brilliant in our own ways. www.LarryColeArt.com I have to say that we at our house are MAJOR monk fans… Tony Shalhoub is amazing in this series.

Even though I really don't get vampires. At least Buffy came before the latest inane vampire craze, I guess. Oh, and the wife’s decided we need to watch Buffy since it’s another Whedon creation.

I was worried it was going to go the way of Lost and be somewhat incomprehensible, but it didn't. The marriage episode I kind of saw coming after the first season, so it wasn't too shocking. Just seemed to follow the utterly amoral line of thinking of the Dollhouse. We still watch house but I find it very formulaic. I was hoping he'd be institutionalized for most of the season. Don't watch any reality TV that I can think of. Used to laugh at the Bachelor; the hyped up drama cracks me up every time! Watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition in its early years, before it sold out. It took me a while to get into Dollhouse.

In fact, I don't think I finished the 1st episode. Perhaps I am too sensitive to the issues surrounding marriage and family in our society and how they are under constant attack but I just couldn't emotionally stomach how they profaned the sacrament of marriage in that episode. The shows I watch currently are Monk, Psych, House, The Closer, Survivor and The Amazing Race. All of these I watch via computer.

Haven't seen Freaks and Geeks, although I think I've heard of it. We don't have cable most of the time; most of the TV we watch is via Netflix.
