Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard) is Adrian Monk's devoted personal assistant, a strong, self-reliant single mom whose tough Amore proves to be exactly what Monk needs. Though often frustrated and confused da her boss’s peculiar behavior, Natalie remains a caring but firm assistant and friend, pushing Monk to overcome his debilitating fears and compulsions.

The fiercely independent former bartender (and member of the wealthy calatoia, davenport family) shares a special bond with Monk, having also tragically Lost her spouse, and she and her teenage daughter, Julie, have become a surrogate family for Monk. With her no-nonsense attitude, knack for investigation, and ability to challenge Monk, Natalie has become much più than just a sidekick to the brilliant detective.

And although it can drive Stottlemeyer crazy to know that he'll never be quite as brilliant a detective as Monk, the divorced father of two remains a loyal friend.

Monk

One knows one is bored when one thinks too much about the philosophy of television...

I Amore Monk, the mostra about an obsessive-compulsive man who assists the police da solving crimes with his unusually accurate eye for detail. Unfortunately, Televisione stations like to annoy me da either taking the shows I Amore off-air o moving them to time-slots that only stay-at-home-mothers can watch when their kids are at school, o when the only people awake are drug addicts and insomniacs. This happened with Monk, which was first moved to a late-night time-slot and then to an afternoon slot.

Anyway, I...

In Memory

posted by Katreader

When I heard that Stanley Kamel died, I was shocked. I felt for his family and Friends and yes, I wondered what poor Mr. Monk would do. There was some controversy when some people mentioned similar feelings for Mr. Monk and were chastized da others who detto that Stanley Kamel was più than Dr. Kroger.
