Thoughts on Monk (who is NOT OCD, no, no, no!)

[conuly]

Why, exactly, did they show him "inducing" OCD traits in this toddler? Is that even possible? If the kid is going to separate his food, or prefer his pants to be both pulled down, isn't that part of who he is instead of obviously caused by living with somebody who's a bit strange?

And he could've so taken care of the baby. Okay, I can understand why they didn't do that, and I'm pleased that they resisted the temptation to add a cute little kid to this show, but that's not the point.

Actually, I think the implication was that he preferred his pant legs to be even, not that he wanted them to cover his legs entirely. Monk has a thing about evenness.
