Distress

I am at a loss.

Tonight is the final night of "Monk". Forever.

How can this be? I have been a devotee since its inception. Even a Friday night date was scheduled around "Monk" (the boy was firmly informed that I had another engagement at 9 p.m. No exceptions).

The New Yorker was correct when, after the series' first season, they called it "the best show you're not watching."

Now I go remorsefully to my living room to watch a new "Monk" (because I have the DVDs) for the last time.

I'm so sad for you. I think we watched your first episode together.

It is a bittersweet thing, losing a good show, but at least you have closure now. (Moment of silence.)

Can you believe it was seven years ago -- seven! -- that you introduced me to Monk? I have been a faithful viewer ever since. I miss Monk already.
