But the problem is that he feels quite inadequate without Allison. Even after the separation, though there is bitterness on the surface between Gary and Allison they still have a soft spot for each other.

Modern-day Sherlock Holmes

He is a whimsical but brilliant sleuth who has the reputation of cracking cases that defy all human logic. Monk every Monday at 10 P.M. on Star World has been one of the most critically acclaimed series. It stars Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub as the former San Francisco police consultant Adrian Monk. Supporting him are his nurse Sharona and Captain Stottlemeyer, his former police chief, who completely relies on the skills of this quirky detective. Despite the fact the Monk suffers from an obsessive syndrome, his detecting abilities reign supreme. He had lost his job with the San Francisco police because of a psychological disorder that struck him after the murder of his wife — a murder that has remained unsolved. But even after that the Monk has solved some of the toughest cases that baffled the sharpest brains in the police department. — NF
