Shalhoub/Schram interaction (Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:55am ET)report post
by Steve Crosetti
Monk needs a counterbalance; someone with a distinctive, vibrant personality. This is why it worked with Schram and failed to work with Howard. What's sort of bizarre is that Howard plays the part on one level. It's just too intense all the time. My fav. Bitty Schram/Monk show is "...The Blackout" one. The Schram/Shalhoub chemistry is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monk final year (Wed Nov 26, 2008 11:43am ET)report post
by Blankman
To demonstrate respect for the viewers who have endured 4 years of Traylor Howard, wouldn't it be wise of the studio/network to not exercise Howard's contract option and re-instate Bitty Schram for the entire final year?!

Replacing Bitty Schram (Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:42am ET)report post
by Casino
The Natalie intro episodes had Traylor Howard acting in a dominating way. Natalie was also overly familiar with the other characters. How can this be credible when encountering a new social group?! The viewers would be resenting a replacement and this would have the effect of intensifying the hostility. Natalie had NOT earned the right to act this way. Even if it was believable. Which it isn't.

Casting Bitty Schram (Fri Oct 31, 2008 1:33pm ET)report post
by Chase Nevada
On the 3rd year videodisc interview with Traylor Howard, the actress comments upon originally auditioning for the part when the first year filming was to commence. If Howard is considered by the studio and/or network to be a superior replacement, why wasn't Howard cast instead of Bitty Schram??

Natalie intro episodes (Fri Oct 31, 2008 11:40am ET)report post
by Frank Shaft
The writers/producers seemed to want to incorporate aspects of the Sharona character into the Natalie character. Unfortunately, this has the bizarre effect of creating contradictory characteristics rendering the Natalie character as not believable. In some scenes, Natalie seems to regard Monk with real contempt and then overwhelms him with exaggerated sympathy. This makes their interaction too mechanical and contrived. When Natalie attempts sarcasm, it appears demented.

Bitty Schram's departure (Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:58pm ET)report post
by Dan Briggs
I get the impression that the studio somehow maneuvred Bitty Schram into quitting the show. Possibly because, behind the scenes, Shaloub and Schram did not really get on. The problem is that the supposed "chemistry" of Shaloub and Howard is non-existent. Traylor Howard acts with all the passion of a programmed android.

Bitty Schram is a fine actor. I enjoy watching Monk and her role makes me smile. Not to mention she's a very beautiful lady. I wish her all the best.

we miss you Bitty (Tue Apr 15, 2008 6:39pm ET)report post

Je suis tellement désolée de ne plus voir Bitty jouer Sharona. Monk ce n'est pas seulement Tony shalhoub mais le duo Monk-Sharona. Ces abrutis de produsteurs auraient dû accepter sa demande car c'est aussi grâce à elle si la série a autant de succès. "Nathalie" (désolée) n'a pas le charme et la vivacité d'esprit de Sharona.
Merci Bitty et à bientôt dans d'autres séries ou films!!

The show became so pathetic and boring without sharona! She was the life of the sitcom..the contrast of her common sense and Monk's special way of interpreting reality was very funny. Now it's over. I don't see it anymore. They should have given her a raise. The girl's worth it!

Bitty was fantastic! I just can't watch the show without her. It seems that some of the writers left when she did. The plots are so predictable. There was a natural chemistry between Bitty and Monk. At least they could do is bring her back as a special guest. No...they won't do that.......it takes a special type of person to say "I was wrong". Hollywood is ruthless.....never forget that fact! I wish some group had the impact to start a "Bring Bitty Back" campaign. All we can do for now is watch Bitty in reruns. Bitty take care......
