A DAY THE LIMELIGHT: UNLIKE MANY CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW, MONROE DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET MANY EPISOS THAT REALLY FOCED ON HIM. HOWEVER, WAS KNOWN THAT HIS DITN TO DUTY TOOK S TOLL ON HIS FAY LIFE, AND ONE 2000 EPISO SPECIFILLY FEATUR MONROE ALG WH HIS DGHTER BEG UGHT UP A SHOPLIFTG AND DG ALG SUATN. IT IS A VERY RARE EPISO WHICH WE GA AN SIGHT TO MONROE AND HIS FAY. THE 1993 EPISO 'BROKEN' FEATUR MONROE ALONGSI GUT STAR BRIAN GLOVER, WHO PORTRAYS A ROUGH EX-MER UNN TYPE. MONROE'S CHARACTER IS OPENED UP BEE KEN FARLEY, GLOVER'S CHARACTER, REF TO TST THE POLICE BEE OF THE MERS' STRIK. ONE SCENE PARTICULAR IS SURPRISGLY POWERFUL AS MONROE'S BACKGROUND AS A MER HIMSELF WHO ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THG NVC FARLEY TO ASSIST HIM. BY-THE-BOOK COP: ONE OF THE MOST FG EXAMPL THE SERI. WOE BETI ANYONE UNR HIS MAND WHO WAS ANYTHG LS. CHARACTERIZATN MARCH ON: AS NOTED BELOW, MONROE WAS ALLY TRODUCED AS A SLAVEDRIVER WHO IS RIDICULED BY THE RT OF THE RELIEF. AFTER A YEAR OR TWO, HIS CHARACTER SOFTENS UP AND HE BE A MUCH MORE RPECTED, IF HARD-PHG, INSPECTOR WHOSE RELATNSHIP WH THE RELIEF IS RATHER LIKE THAT OF A STERN TEACHER WH HIS CLASS. THE CINT WHICH LED TO DS ROACH QUTG HAPPENED AFTER THIS CHANGE CHARACTER HAD BEGUN AND FEELS ALMOST LIKE THE EPISO WAS BROADST OUT OF SEQUENCE. IT WAS THE FAL EPISO WH THE 'ORIGAL' MONROE CHARACTER.

HEROIC BSOD: DPE BEG ONE OF SUN HILL'S MOST DISCIPLED OFFICERS, THE AFOREMENTNED EPISO VOLVG HIS DGHTER SE HIM HAVG ONE OF THE. THE AWKWARD AND SENSIVE NATURE OF THIS PERSONAL SE LEADS HIM TO SNAP AND GET UNCHARACTERISTILLY DISTRSED AND VISIBLY UPSET. IT BE APPARENT THAT ALTHOUGH MONROE LOV HIS FAY ARLY, HIS DITED WORK ETHIC AND DISCIPLE AFFECTS HIS RELATNSHIP WH HIS CHILDREN.
