I really like this show!

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 7 June 2022 06:15

Monk is a very entertaining detective series, that is excellent if you want some chuckles for 45 minutes. Tony Shalhoub is fantastic in the lead, giving the character a sense of charm and humour. Monk suffers from OCD. However, because of this, Monk's actions are priceless, as he is obsessed with everything. There was even one episode, when he was at a school, and he wrote his name very neatly on the blackboard, and rubbed it off again, after he was unsatisfied with how it looked. Bitty Schram is lovely as Sharona, and Traylor Howard was a very worthy replacement in the later series as Natalie. Ted Levine is amusing as Stottlemeyer,(I loved the episode with the chimpanzee and Levine jumping up and down in the interview room) there was one episode, when he was exasperated when Monk was convinced that a man who is "conveniently" in a coma sent bombs to two people, Levine's reactions were priceless. Jason Gray-Stanford has his moments as Lieutenant Randall Disher. There have also been some great guest stars, one of my many favourites was Tim Curry as Dale "the Whale" Biederbeck in the episode Mr Monk Goes To Jail, as well as John Tuturro as Monk's estranged brother Ambrose. I am not hugely keen on Randy Newman, so I don't know what to think of the title song. Other than that, I really like Monk. 9/10 Bethany Cox.

Loved this show, Hard to believe the Series Finale was almost 10 years ago. Randy and Natalie make this show great as well! Tonight I am the Judge!

It's A Jungle Out There...Bring Your Wipes!

"Monk" is pretty cool...not least because Adrian Monk himself is so crazy. He has a basically unbeatable ability to solve crimes, but he also has so many phobias and quirks that he can manage to get himself into almost as much trouble as he solves...or at least it seems like that, sometimes. ;)

(Basically, he's a neat freak, an organization freak, and a bit of a paranoid, in general. And we love him. :P )

Monk is very clearly the main character, but the supporting characters are also very likeable and pretty real too. So, it's a good show.

~~ Best Episode Ever: "Mr. Monk And The Garbage Strike"

{'Mr. Monk, you're now sitting in the cleanest room in the world.'}

.....

"I love my work; is that a crime?"

.....

And it's sorta the one to end it all, you know.... I mean, it is a little bit like "The Big Bang Theory", (and the people who use Jim Parsons as the symbol of the geek shop are missing the point, IMO), and that's actually why "Monk" is the better show, I think, (with apologies to TBS, which I love), because nobody would use Tony Shalhoub as the symbolic center of anything.

I mean, it's funny, in a way, that it's on "Cloo", because if you took the show seriously, you might stop watching cop shows.

'8 Simple Rules', you know.

'Very funny'.

"Who cares, one day you and your father will both be dead, but that plaque by the soda machine is *forever*!"

Days without incident. ;)

.... It's just that alot of the guest characters on this show had a bit of a mean streak, you know?

(9/10)

The idea is great, but there are horrible plot holes everywhere, the main character's OCD isn't credible at all and the rest of the characters are stupid (like the constant disbelief in Monk's abilities, despite the fact that he's always right).
If you want something along these lines, but clever, watch The Mentalist. Much better.

I think Monk is a great mystery show. Monk always solves the case with clues that no ordinary person would find.i also think its funny that he is so hygienic and clean he makes peoples life hard sometimes. i also think that when sharonna (his partner) gives Monk a wet wipe evertime after Monk shakes hands with someone.

I love this show

That perfectionist problem he has makes him a GREAT detective, his cases are so amazing and they are kind of funny because of the way he acts during them. Lol, one of the ones that made me laugh was the supermodel one where he wanted to put a mole on her other shoulder lol! I think this show is an excellent comedic, and yet serious Police Investigations show!
