| Truly original, truly hilarious! | ||||||
| One of the more clever television creations of the new millennium, Monk combines the high-grade suspense of a traditional TV drama with the quirky humor of a big screen comedy. Originally developed for ABC, the show became an instant prime-time lynchpin for the USA network, proving itself one of the more successful shows on cable TV...
In Monk, Tony Shalhoub stars in the title role of Adrian Monk, a former San Francisco detective placed on psychiatric leave. A true legend in the community, Monk solves unsolvable crimes via his towering intellect, photographic memory, and meticulous observations. But the one case that alludes Monk is the 1997 murder of his wife Trudy, which forever altered Monk's capacity to perform his job. Suffering from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a number of odd phobias, Monk requires a personal assistant, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), for even his most basic daily activities. Yet Monk remains a police consultant on difficult cases, and he hopes to persuade Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to give him his old job back. But Stottlemeyer and colleague Lt. Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), harbor doubts about Monk's mental faculties. As Monk solves cases though, those doubts dissipate and Stottlemeyer and Disher learn to appreciate Monk's special talents - despite his inability to cope with the day-to-day activities of a normal detective... Nevertheless, he remains a de facto investigator as he and Sharona aid the San Francisco police department in solving numerous high profile cases... The Monk (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Mr. Monk Goes Back to School" in which Monk is called in to investigate the apparent suicide of a high school English teacher who fell from a clock tower. Monk quickly establishes that the teacher's suicide was a murder, but his prime suspect has the perfect alibi. Perfect, that is, until Monk unravels the mystery... Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "Mr. Monk Goes to the Ballgame" in which Monk investigates the murder of a wealthy CEO and his beautiful wife, and "Mr. Monk and the T.V. Star" in which Monk suspects a famous television star from Crime Lab S.F. of murdering his wife despite the man's airtight alibi...

| A great set for a great season. Only half a season more and my Monk dvd collection will be complete. The producers made a BIG mistake letting Bitty Schram go. This new assistant "Whitey McWhitebread" just isn't cutting it. There's more to the success of a series than it's "star", never underestimate the importance of the supporting cast. | ||||||
| Highly Recommended! | ||||||
| I'm a new Monk fan, and since I loved the last episodes of Season 3 so much, I just had to buy the Season 1 and 2 DVDs -- and they are, quite simply, wonderful. The writers manage to interject just the right mix of humor, mystery, drama and OCD so that none of the elements overpower one another. This makes for an honest-to-goodness well rounded show. Further, Monk is one of the few shows on television that can still be considered "family friendly" -- which is nice deviation from the majority of the "stuff" on TV.
If you like a detective mystery without all the fluff and glimmer of CSI or other shock-dramas, Monk is a perfect way to spend an evening. I highly recommend it! | ||||||
