There are few Monk episodes, especially after Traylor Howard joined the cast as Natalie Teeger, that I truly dislike. "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil" is one of them.
Harold Crenshaw annoyed me. Really annoyed me. It seemed to me his purposes in life were to make Monk as miserable as possible and to suck up to Dr. Kroeger, and later, Dr. Bell. This episode took the former to a new level, which I thought wasn't possible after "Mr. Monk and the Election" in season 3. The latter was obvious in season 5's "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink".
I have to fast forward past this episode when watching the DVD collection. Sorry. Can't watch. Won't watch.
