Yeah, good thing the writers and creators of iconic and/or interesting characters like Sherlock Holmes and Monk actually loved, understood and cared about their own creation enough to never break their spirits in the name of character development. Just imagine how things would be if The Big Bang Theory writers wrote those characters: I bet Holmes would start failing at solving the cases, would get mocked as someone who had the illusion of being smart and in the last book would get married and have children, and Monk would be forced to get cured of his OCD and would get a girlfriend; and both Holmes and Monk would "grow up" and start learning that they needed to put more care and attention into their social lives rather than into their work and careers. *shudder*

P.S.
I miss Monk. Haven't watched the series or even an episode in ages. A friend has promised to lend me his Monk DVDs the next time he visits. So, Yay!
Monk getting over his OCD? God no!
I really don't know why they messed around with Sheldon. They could have done all the things they wanted with him, without making him so pathetic. He could have had a platonic relationship with another weirdo and never taken it to sex. Or developed a relationship with someone who was into role playing which did. There was no need for this babysitter style relationship with a character who started off much worse than him and now seems to think he's beneath her.
