    Does anyone watch "monk"?

    Does anyone watch "monk", the detective show on USA Network?

    I have watched almost every ep. It is a pretty good show. There are some very clever moments.

    I love how Monk will go out on a limb and at the end he is always right.
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

    My parents do... it's an all right show, but I got sick of it after a few episodes. There are only so many OCD jokes I can take.

      How he resolves the mystery is what the show is all about!

          It's a good show, and Tony Shaloob plays the part well... but it's the same **** every episode...

            I watched it on ABC, as I don't have cable. The Bunnygrrl and I liked it.

              I like all the actors, and Tony deserves any award he might get..but I find the show slow, so I don;t particualrly like it. My parents do, though.

                  Awesome show, great cast.

                  (Monk and Capt. Stottlemeyer are in an apartment where a snake has escaped; Monk is standing on the kitchen table, suggesting the Capt. join him)

                  Captain Stottlemeyer: "I thought you were afraid of heights?"

                  Monk: "Snakes trump heights. It goes germs, needles, milk, death, snakes, mushrooms, heights, crowds, elevators -"

                  Captain Stottlemeyer: "I don't need the whole list."

                    That's a great scene. Note that he put "death" in between "milk" and "snakes". LOL.

                    It is in the same ep, where Stottlemeyer says, "you would be great as a marriage councilor. After living with you just 24 hours no man woulod ever complain about his wife again!"

                    For those who love the show, what was the murder case that you thought was the most clever?

                        That was true the first season, but now they spend a lot more time showcasing his OCD (including that lame-ass theme song). Worse yet, I'm starting to notice hints and foreshadowings of romance between Monk and Sharona. I still watch the show, but the moment that happens I'm gone.
                        "THE" plus "IRS" makes "THEIRS". Coincidence? I think not.

                          Yep. The romance between Monk and Sharona is inevitable.

                            Tony Shaloub will always be "Antonio" on Wings, to me.

                            ACK!
                            Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                              Wings was a great show. Tony Shaloub was great on Wings.

                              There was also a short lived sitcom called "stark raving mad" which starred Shaloub. He was hilarious in that show.
