 My Monk, 2008-10-12
The Monk DVD that I received is GREAT!! I received it on time. I had purchased the DVD from a chain of stores but unfortunately it got lost and I had to replace it. That's when I went on Amazon to repurchase the DVD.. and got it for HALF THE PRICE!!I AM SO HAPPY I DID.. I have recieved all 6 season from Amazon. I will NO LONGER purchase my DVD's from a chain of stores..Thanks Amazon :)
Superb Shaloub, 2008-09-29
Tony Shaloub brings Adrian Monk, a brilliant former police detective, to life with his performances of the OCD investigator and received a well deserved Emmy for his role.
The scripts are well written with a pefect mix of humor and mystery combined and seems more of a throwback type of series, think of mixing of Murder She Wrote with Columbo bought up to date - no over the top violence, effects or graphics just a mystery solving series.
Shaloub is surrounded by a very good cast, including his nurse and psyhciatrist.
Monk is a breath of fresh air in the crime/mystery genre on television and I highly recommend it.
Monk is/was the best show I have ever seen. , 2008-08-10
I love this show. It has everything and Tony Shaloub and Bitty Schram are simply brilliant. I was sad to see sharona go and the show managed to stay pretty good till the 5th season. Now, it is almost a parody....So sad, but seasons 1 and 2 are a knock out!

Great TV Detective Series, 2008-07-18
This is a wonderful series. Monk to me is just like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, but turned modern. Poirot was once a policeman, like Monk, before he became a private detective. Poirot has a lot of the same quirks as Monk, or I should say Monk has a lot of the same quirks as Poirot. The Monk stories are interesting though not nearly as complex as Agatha Christie's writings. Another thing I like about this series is that it is only mildly violent with no adults-only scenes, so we can watch this as a family. We are enjoying having this first season as part of our dvd collection.
Why did I wait so long?, 2008-05-17
Here's a great cast, an interesting concept, and a treatment of OCDs that is not exploitative or cruel. And yet I waited this long to watch the first season! Go figure.
Tony Shalhoub is note-perfect as the title character, whom you can't help but feel sorry for since the murder of his beloved wife. This trauma apparently exacerbated the already existent OCDs, requiring his assistant, played by the wonderful Bitty Schram, to accompany him almost everywhere.
Ted Levine does a fine job as well, playing Monk's police chief. He is often taken aback by the troubled detective's behavior but also knows that nobody can solve a case better than Monk can.
I have just started the second season, and it looks very promising as well.
