  • Well, they just finished up on a run of new Monk
    episodes. The show has grown to be one of my favorite series of late,
    because of it's smart writing, it has a great ensemble cast, and the
    fact that I'm a little obsessive compulsive myself (though nothing as
    bad as Adrian Monk). The past years I've been for the most part only interested with serialized TV shows like 24, Alias, Lost, Veronica Mars,
    etc... so my liking the show "Monk" is a bit odd in itself.  It
    looks like I've been opening up to these procedural shows like Law & Order SVU, Numbers, etc, but my favorite of that bunch is Monk.  The show even survived a major cast change (Bitty Schram for Traylor Howard) without a hitch and in fact I think it's better than before. Tony Shalhoub's got himself a legendary role here that will be remembered for a long time, and for that he should be proud.
