Monk
Most of you have heard of the show about an obsessive compulsive detective named Adrian Monk. It all started when his wife, Trudie, was murdered by an unknown person with a car bomb. Ever since, his phobias have increased and his compulsions are stronger. His wife's death is the only crime he hasn't been able to solve. His caretaker was Sharona Fleming, a former nurse, but after she left to remarry her ex-husband Natalie Teeger came along to help Monk along.
The show is now in its 4th season. Any comments?

Has anyone read the Monk novel? It's sooo good! It's called Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse, just in case you want to look for it at a bookstore or a library.

If you two are sisters, do you just - not live together, or something? So you have to moot like this to be able to communicate with each other? Which is cool, I'm just really curious. Are you twins? The Thain/Meriadoc mystery continues...
My Dad loves the show Monk. He likes to rent the season DVDs and watch entire blocks of Monk. I get really tired of it after an episode or two, but Dad thinks its aces.

Ohhh...I never saw anything about his background. Like I once commented, they don't have those kind of shows out here.

Have you seen the one where Monk and his posse go to New York City; that episode stands out. I guess I don't really recall the details of most of the individual episodes. Even though I have sat & watched dozens of these shows with my Dad, I can't seem to really commit much of them to memory. There was one about a fake psychic, I remember that one was cool. I think that's the one where Monk says to help him find a small pebble. Remember the one?

Yes! Now I DO remember that show, because of the bit about him finally facing the guy who bombed his wife. And in the hospital, when he sees him face to face, he has pity on him because that's how kind his wife would have been. Something like, he stopped his morphine drip, so the guy was in terrible pain, but then said "This is the woman you killed, turning it back on," or something to that effect.

Hmm...from the episodes I saw, I can't imagine him doing anything like that.

Of course, that's not going to be an episode any time soon, because then the case would be solved and Monk cured! There's going to at least be a season 5 and 6!

I, personally, can't wait until tomorrow when Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist premiers. Is that ever going to be funny!

Yep the new season is starting off very funny. I'm taping it to watch over the weekend since my HP DVD didn't get here when it was supposed to.
I loved the Monk in the prison with the guy called "the whale". Of course I have to keep telling myself that a guy like that just couldn't survive in todays world, even with such a hot helper as Natalie

He's rich, Mr. Spock. Rich! You see Dale the Whale in another Monk episode called "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale", even though he already knew Dale before... Anyway, both are with Sharona, not Natalie. I wonder how Dale... nevermind. Monk: Be careful, Sharona. Sharona: What is he going to do? Pass wind on me?* *Please note that the Fatman (Dale) weighs some 900 pounds.

Natalie did basically the same thing, except she was never a nurse. She became his assistant after Sharona left Monk to re-marry her ex-husband.
