Robert D. Ruplenas I have fallen in love with this show by way of the cable reruns. It's wonderful in every way. The concept of the show is brilliant; a detective show in which the detective, although brilliant, is neither suave, brave, not debonair. He is truly a psychologically damaged person. And although his foibles and phobias are often played for laughs, the fact of his being destroyed by his wife's death is always a serious element of the show. The supporting players are excellent, particularly Ted Levine as Cpt. Stottlemeyer. The character of Randy is a bit gratuitously annoying but you can't have everything. The scriptwriting is some of the best around, with many subtle witticisms and some great cultural parody. And it is never straight out comedy; the tragic nature of Monk's mental affliction is always present, and the endings always have a gentle touch. The crime mysteries themselves are most often not the point of the show. They are merely the McGuffin - in Hitchcocks's phrase - on which to hang a drama about character relationships. Just a great, great show.
drone41 First i must admit that this is the one of my favorite TV Series of all time. The story of detective Adrian Monk is very tragic. He lost his wife Trudy who died because of car bomb. Mr Monk lose of his hopes to find happiness after that. But he can't left one of his obsessions, and that is solving the crimes in San Francisco. He is very funny in some moments because of his OCD. His biggest fears are germs,milk and dentist. His first assistant was Sharona, and till the end Mr Monk helping Nataly. Both of them somehow survive with Mr Monk because he is harder to watch than child.He also helps captain Leland Stottlemeyer and his second in command Randy Disher in solving cases.He has a brother Ambrose who is even worse than Mr Monk and they have many fights but they love each other.Essentially, Adrian Monk are genius and no matter how hard case is, he will solve that somehow. Absolutely on of best detectives in USA.
NatalleSS I have been watching this show since it first came out and I have to say it is without a doubt one of my favorite TV shows. At first, I was quite hesitant about this show as I don't watch many detective themed shows but quickly after the first episode, I was hooked. The character Adrian Monk is quite interesting and hilarious through the way he perceives things. It's quite astonishing how many fears he has and how he notices the littlest of things that help him solve his cases. What makes this show different from others is its combination of humor while still maintaining some of the seriousness. Now, I like to re-watch the episodes when I have a chance. If you like detective-comedy- mystery-drama kinds of shows,then definitely watch Monk! (Even though the show ended years ago, it's never too late to start watching now)
Bullwinkle96 I love detective shows. WAIT! Why did you rate it a 1 you may be asking. Well I have a very good reason. Randy Newman made the song for Monk.Rasndy Newman can't sing for crap. He has a dopey voice that should be reserved for singing kids songs. Anyway this show is about a detective that solves crimes. He is a little bit like Columbo. Columbo is brilliant. Peter Falk "RIP" was a great detective. In fact, so is Monk. Unlike Columbo, in this show you don't see who the Murderer is at the beginning. It is a good show that lasted many seasons, but not as many as Columbo. Randy Newman is annoying. He did that song for Toy Story. Speaking of bad songs, Eurovision Song Contest is next week. I hope that the songs are lousy. I get a good laugh out of it every year.Watch the show but skip the credits, that is my advice.
