1. I find natalie a bit irritating.
whereas sharona had that right hint of dirty/sexy and attitude.

2. Can't STAND Sharona.
I think he and Natalie are much cuter together, and I enjoy the show much more. I WANT to watch these old episodes, but I just don't like them as much.

3. I loved Sharona (really enjoying the marathon today)
But Natalie is growing on me.

4. Surprisingly, I MUCH prefer Natalie
I didn't think I would, but I do.

I like that she calls him "Mister Monk" and not Adrian.

9. At first the Mr. Monk was hard for me to take but I like the fact that she makes
her kid pay Monk respect.

5. Can't stand Natalie -- haven't watched it since they dropped Sharona
Then again, it went from an angsty dramedy to something that, to me, made fun of his illness.

13. I did some research for this poll and I found out that in the book Sharona left also.
I don't think they had time to finish the Sharona leaving story line like it unfolded in the book.

14. I suspect much of the Natalie preference is because there have been more shows with her
I just don't care for the whole focus of the show since that time. They destroyed the show I enjoyed
so much. I haven't watched it since.

6. Natalie really cares for "Mr. Monk" and that's just fine with me..... I
have done all day Monk marathons without skipping a beat. Needless to say I am a big fan of EVERYONE in the show, they all do a fine job.

8. I will admit that Sharona is a bit rough on the guy. Monk seems to do better
and grow more under Natalie's care.

10. Sharona. We stopped watching after she was gone.
Difficult because Tony Shalhoub is one of my favorite actors.

The flavor of the show just didn't work after she was gone.

Blufftony!

15. I prefer the dynamic with Sharona
I was actually just discussing this with a coworker. The show is still good but when Sharona was there she clashed a lot more heavily w/ Monk which was more interesting. She clashed with Randy a bit, too. Natalie is a lot more sweet/good natured. She also seems to do more detective work on the side (Dr. Watson). I also prefer her daughter to Sharona's son. This is simply the writing, of course. Her daughter is much more prominent.

16. I like both of them
but have decided I like Natalie better.

Sharona, towards the end, had gotten to be rather shrill.

19. Much prefer Sharona
She was so cute and had so much attitude. Natalie is way too much of a "good girl", conservative in her manner and style-- I find that boring.
