You will be missed, Adrian....

I find it so difficult to believe that Monk will no longer be on the air and yet they continue to make Two and a Half Men. Ugh.

One of the things I loved about the show was that it was based in San Francisco. Of course they filmed it in Burbank - I found this out in one episode when they had the Safari Inn as the setting and I've driven by it in Burbank once before. Plus, I've never seen Tony Shalhoub walking around Union Square.... Hilariously enough, the finale had a scene at a train station, supposedly in San Francisco, with limited trains to places like Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose, and Redwood City. There was even a sign for BART. We're just not that sophisticated - no fancy train stations here. The San Francisco one has a Subway (five-dollar-footlong!), if that paints a picture for you on how classy it is.

I'll miss the show, and Adrian's obsessive-compulsive mannerism. It made him great at his job - able to notice every tiny little detail. It also made him suffer tremendously in his personal life, never quite feeling happy or content, and quite incapable of relating to others. It was a well-written, well-developed character and the plots were intriguing as well. Sad to see it go.
