r/Monk

So the episode is abt the murder of a weatherman or a new anchor (it is a man tho) and he gets stabbed I believe. Also I think it's those kinda episodes where theres a really obvious suspect which turns out to be innocent and yadayada, I believe was a woman. That's all I remember please help me find the episode

Monk has been on my watch list for years and I finally started it this evening. I really enjoyed the first two episodes.

I have a stupid, but very sincere question: How long is it going to take for me to stop seeing 'Buffalo Bill' and start seeing the Captain???

Hey everyone. Since I couldn't find a good transcription of the song "It's Jungle Out There", I've transcribed myself by ear a correction over a semi-correct one that I've found, and I've decided to share. Any contribuitions are welcome.

( I'm trying to get a PDF attached in case it doesn't fit Reddit's texting box. )

I'm on S04E14 - Mr. Monk and the Astronaut

I like the series, even though there are many others significantly better.

I can't get over how mentally disabled they made Randy; there are no redeeming qualities about him, he's just there as a (failed) comic relief; it completely ruins the suspension of disbelief.

Sorry for hate posting once again

I love this show. I really do. It is a comfort show. I watched it in real time on USA back in the day (Characters Welcome!!). I’m on my fifthish rewatch now. With every rewatch, I find myself more and more annoyed.

They can’t keep Monk’s backstory straight. For a show about obsessive compulsive disorder and a detective who notices and remembers everything, how could the writers do this to us?? It’s not even the small stuff. It’s the big stuff. When did his dad leave? When did he meet Trudy? How crimes did he solve?

Their attempt at an overarching A-plot (the Trudy mystery) was also weak. I almost want them to remake this show from scratch and try again, but try for real. Give these storylines the attention-to-detail they deserve.

S03E06 - Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf

I'm gonna start by saying sorry for hate posting.

Having said that:
This was a pretty cool episode, with a smart storyline - even though easy enough to guess from the start what direction is going.

Too bad it is completely ruined by an actress - that plays her part well, in every show she appears - that only has one register: annoying person. I really can't stand any time she's on screen, in any tv show i have ever seen her.

On a positive note: I just checked IMDB and this is the only episode she is in

S02E15 where Adrian and Sharona pretend to be married so they can go on a couples retreat to investigate the guy that married Randy's mother.

My question is:
What's Dalton Padron (the murderer)'s purpose to marry Randy's mother? It doesn't make sense, at least her specifically her.

Or am i missing something?

Hi,

I just started watching monk, can someone help me with something.....

Is this supposed to be funny or irritating? In season one and half of season two, I found monks dumbass behaviours funny, it would be one or two minutes of monk behaving like a moron and then the show would move on.

After the episode where he takes his test for reinstatement and it is just 10+ minutes of him sharpening a pencil and trying to draw a perfect circle, it's just too much..... It removes all the fun from the episodes.

Firstly someone like this would never exist in society, I know neuro divergent people are employed by law enforcement and in my industry for repetitive tasks that require extreme attention to detail, but this show just takes the biscuit and makes it unwatchable, and almost offensive to actual neuro divergent people, I mean I personally find it offensive.

It is that unbearable that any time monk spazzes out I just fast forward until it gets back to the show.... These episodes could be a nice 30 minute enjoyable experience but every episode wastes 15 minutes watching an idiot potter around doing nothing useful.....

Or does his stupid actions actually have any real baring on the show, because I am fast forwarding them all.

Thanks in advance.
