MONK

This TV series was about a detective who had OCD issues, and solved murders that stumped the police.  It was quite funny in the early seasons, and we watched the 8th season 2-part series finale the other night.

It was a fairly decent show, but in the final seasons there appeared more and more abuses of God's name.  Quite unnecessary, and really leaves a bad taste for the show overall.  In fact the last 2-part episode was difficult to watch, there was so much swearing. 

It is disappointing when people cannot write scripts without the needless swearing.  They add nothing, and only serve to lower the already low standards that exist for television.

Normally when a series ends, you feel a little sad if it is a good one.   But in this case it really was a blessing.  It should have ended before the decision was made to lower their standards.  It went from an excellent show to one I could barely stand to watch ... just by removing basic decency standards.

Whomever decided to pull the plug on this series ... I thank you. 
You should have done it before the decay started.
