As brilliant as Adrian Monk is, he wouldn’t be able to leave his apartment— let alone solve difficult cases— without the help of his loyal assistants. Sharona Fleming, an outspoken nurse from New Jersey, assisted Monk in the show’s first three seasons.
When actress Bitty Schram left the series over a contract dispute, Traylor Howard joined as Natalie Teeger, a former bartender who asked Monk for help before becoming his trusted aide. Though very different, both Sharona and Natalie brought their own style and humor to the show.

Bitty Schram's Jersey accent is real - though a tad exaggerated - as she is from Mountainside, NJ.
I grew up next door in Westfield(home of the Addams Family) and there were a number of Schrams
in our school. She is not the bean pole Hollywood ideal for an actress, she has curves like a normal
woman and is 10 lbs. overweight. It never ceases to amaze me that she got the role.
But not since Roseanne has a working class woman worried about paying bills and saving for her
kid's education been so prominent(at least that I am aware of).
Natalie may be the classic beauty type, but Sharona is a sauce pot - as the Brits say - and has
allure to spare. She is the Jersey Girl that Bruce Springsteen sings about, you can keep Gwyneth
Paltrow.
mine was being taught Jr. High English by the last Weed smoker to get a Felony conviction in Michigan (i won't name drop for the teacher's sake, he was quite infamous when i was in school and liked her in 7th grade English.
Seinfeld early in his career at Dangerfields. Paul Prudhomme personally made me a
swordfish steak after we hit it off at a fund raiser. By the way, Paul said the Grand Central
Oyster Bar was the best place for shellfish in America.
Oh, and Field Marshal Montgomery sent me a chess set when I was a kid.
It wasn't me but my father took the National Turkey to the White House Thanksgiving one year, and my cousin Chris lit the national Christmas tree with Ford in 1976. And in my living room
is the old fedora Reagan gave my godfather. But you are right, hey everybody, I vaguely
know Bitty's cousins!
