Excellent Show - GOOD TV
January 28, 2007
shows like this is what makes good TV enterteinment & Tony Shalhoub is the best man for the job. The show always starts with a dead guy, like any other detective show, then the investigation and finaly the crime gets solved... this is the FORMULA for these siries...WHAT happens in between is what make MONK! See, Monk has OCD and often finds himself in situations that you would not expect. The show goes from serious and intense to EXTREMELY funny in a matter of seconds. Mr. Shalhoub plays the character so well that you can't help thinking that this person real. I hope the creator and writter of the show don't run out of ideas and keep up the good work.

Natalie and Sharona...
February 16, 2007
while I loved Sharona, even better than Natalie for awhile, Traylor Howard grew on me and changed my mind. I thought Sharona leaving was a possible disaster for the show. Instead it turned out to be an improvement. Natalie is a perfect fit opposite Monk. She also interacts a bit better with the Captain and Randy as well.

WOW, it's the best murder mystery in years
December 14, 2006
I can rank this right up there with Murder She Wrote and Matlock. Congratulations to USA Network for a fanstastic show. CBS and NBC would be wise to follow. Monk is one of the most colorful and unusual characters i've seen in years, it's very refreshing. Again Thank You USA Network. Keep up the good work!!!!

Who Knew??
December 24, 2006
Who knew that OCD could be so funny without belittling people who have the disorder. The scripts are well written with the witty interaction of the cast. The cast is top notch. Tony has done some good stuff in the past (Wings and The guy who get his head blown off in the Will Smith's Movie Men in Black.) but this is his best work so far. The Cast has a real chemistry. I do not even miss Bitty. I wish they would get on with the Trudy story line.

USA network has another winner.....
September 15, 2008
Monk has been a consistently good show,with a top notch cast,(even though I miss Sharona), and it doesn'tt sink to the crude level of so many of the tv shoes today. I feel comfortable letting my preteen grandsons watch it without worrying about anything lewd being shown. Although I love the Natalie character,and she interacts very well with Monk,I think they could write in a part for Sharona,where she is maybe an administrative assistant to the captain,etc,or some other similiar role. Sharona and Lnt Disher were always so funny together as he would try to flirt and impress her,and she would rebuff him.
All the actors are so great and believable,you feel like you really know these people!
USA has the best shows,NBC and CBS and the others are second rate. I rarely watch anything on local programming,there are very few good shows.
