Mr. Monk Gets A New Shrink - Continuity

Continuity

  • The events of this episode, and Dr. Jonah Sorenson, are mentioned in passing in the novel Mr. Monk Goes to Germany. First, Dr. Kroger mentions Dr. Sorenson's name to Monk on their last appointment before he leaves for Germany. Later, when Dr. Kroger confronts Natalie about helping Monk stalk him to Lohr, she defends herself by claiming that Monk was going to fall completely apart without him and would never see a psychiatrist who was missing an arm, suggesting that her actions probably were influenced by the events depicted in "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink."
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Harold Krenshaw since season 3's "Mr. Monk and the Election". Subsequently, Harold made appearances in the episodes "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil," "Mr. Monk's 100th Case", "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized", "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall", "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," and "Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy".
  • Dr. Kroger was said in "Mr. Monk and the Election" to have a daughter as well. Here, however, Troy is shown as an only child.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:

    “There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
