I'm sick of Will They or Won't They "plots". Aren't you? Say no to Will They or Won't They!

Who else has started hating "will they or won't they" situations on television shows? The Watcher (Mo) who writes for the Chicago Tribune has stated she's dropping Bones from her list of shows to watch and review. The comments to the article are interesting, too.

Ugh, Monk. I almost stopped completely watching it when the new assistant showed up (the current blonde one) and they kept hinting at "something more" between the two of them. I thought it was...distasteful and inappropriate for that show. Thank heavens they backed away from that budding dynamic. I still don't like her much compared to the original assistant and her son. (mindwiping on her name).

Yeah, they backed away from it on Psych, and Shawn's girlfriend isn't a ball and chain. He was made out to be a ladies man back at the start of the show, and then they sort of dropped it after a season and a half. He's still a boy-man, though, so I can't see any relationship lasting long with him anyway.

I didn't like the new assistant at first either, but I have to admit I never noticed that. It could be because I've just watched the episodes randomly over the last few months and not all in order, though I think I've seen them all now. This current season is the only one I've watched as it aired (still recording and watching later, though).

After a while, I came to like Natalie (new assistant) much better than Sharona. Sharona treated him like a child and was quite mean to him sometimes. That grated on me once I'd seen more Sharona episodes. Natalie can be annoying and even cruel sometimes, but Monk is thoughtless and selfish, too, and overall, she at least treats him like an adult.
