Monk - Show News, Reviews, Recaps and Photos. Former police detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), whose photographic memory and amazing ability to piece together tiny clues made him a local legend, has suffered from intensified obsessive- compulsive disorder and a variety of phobias since the unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1. Now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department and working as a freelance detective/consultant on difficult cases, Monk hopes to convince his former boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer, who wavered between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities during the first season, becomes more of a friend to Monk as the series develops, frequently calling him in to help, as much for Monk's benefit as for his own. However, he knows Monk's limitations as well as his strengths and still harbor doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun or subdue a perpetrator. Stottlemeyer's second- in- command, Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray- Stanford), also develops both admiration and compassion for the man he once labeled "the defective detective." Despite flaws and inadequacies all around, the three become an increasingly effective team, with additional help from Monk's personal assistant.

From the double- episode pilot through the first half of season three, Monk was aided by his nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram). But in the tenth episode of the third season, Sharona was replaced by a new assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard). Like Sharona, a divorcee with a son named Benjy, Natalie is a single parent, a widow with a daughter named Julie (Emmy Clarke). Unlike Sharona, Natalie is not a nurse but a former bartender with a fresh perspective on "Mr. Monk," as she still addresses her new boss.

Watch Postcards of Mid- Century Resorts Transform Into Their Abandoned Ruins. In idyllic places like the Catskills and the Poconos, the ‘5. America. This was where newly suburban denizens went on vacation, flocking to lakeside resorts straight out of Dirty Dancing.

But over the years, the people stopped coming, and the resorts closed. Now, their moss- covered ruins look like a tomb of the American dream. Photographer Pablo Maurer stumbled upon a few of these resorts while exploring the abandoned Penn Hills Resort.

Once a honeymooner’s destination, the so- called “Paradise of Pocono Pleasure” closed in 2. During his visit to the deserted resort, Maurer found an old matchbook adorned with an illustration of the Penn Hills pool at the height of its popularity.

He looked at the illustration and then at the ruins of the pool and came up with the idea to photograph the current state of similar abandoned spaces that were once depicted in old postcards. For the next couple years, Maurer traveled around the Poconos and the Catskills, searching for resorts he’d seen in postcards bought at antique shops and on e. Last Season Of Sons Of Anarchy Season 6. Bay. His journey not only became a treasure hunt, seeking out the most dramatic ruin porn, but it also became a time- traveling adventure.

Maurer went looking for the spaces where a vibrant dining room or fun- filled bowling alley once existed. Instead, he found moss- covered caverns and graffiti- coated ruins.“The Catskills in particular are a truly stunning, beautiful place with this overarching melancholy that’s hard to put your finger on,” Maurer told Gizmodo. But like so many other formerly grand places, you see glimmers of hope and rebirth along with the blight.”That’s one way of putting it. By superimposing his photographs of the ruins onto the postcard images, however, Maurer does help highlight the grandeur that once existed at these resorts. You don’t need to imagine the lounge chairs by a now- empty and polluted pool. You can see them in the postcard, lined up next to bright blue water and a diving board. As one image dissolves into another, you can almost feel yourself transported back to the ‘6.

Maurer explains that these resorts failed for various but sometimes related reasons. Airfare became more affordable (allowing the general public to be a bit less local with their vacation time),” he said. Tastes changed, and many of them did not evolve with the times.”So they decayed. But there are still those glimmers of hope. Some resorts, like Grossinger’s and the Penn Hills Resort, have new owners who might decide to revive them. After all, the Catskills and the Poconos are becoming revitalized as young people rediscover the humble wonders near cities like New York and Philadelphia, places their parents might have gone or something they saw in a Patrick Swayze movie.
