Monk TV Season 1

|
Crack detective
Adrian Monk suffers from intense sadness at the loss of his
wife and from a disruptive case of obsessive-compulsive
disorder, but actor Tony Shaloub plays him with just the
right mix of pathos and perfect comic timing. The murder of
Monk's wife, Trudy, pushed him to a breaking point,
intensifying his problems with his disorder and leading to
his being placed on leave from his job as a police
detective. Now, working as a private detective, along with
his nurse/assistant Sharon (Bitty Schram), Monk acts as a
consultant on investigations so tough that the police can't
make headway. With his photographic memory and amazing
deductive skills, Monk wants only to deal with Trudy's death
and to regain his place on the force. Acclaimed for its
stellar cast and fresh spin on the detective genre, MONK
provides sure comedy. |

Character actor
Tony Shalhoub finally found his perfect role on the
television show MONK, winning both an Emmy and a Golden
Globe for his performance. Shalhoub plays Adrian Monk, a
neurotic, obsessive-compulsive former police detective who
now solves crimes in his spare time, but secretly hopes to
be reinstated on the force. However, as valuable as Monk's
brilliant, deductive mind is, it is matched only by the
depth of his obsessive fear of germs, heights, and crowds,
ultimately rendering him unfit for duty. The highly
acclaimed detective-comedy has been called the successor to
COLUMBO. MONK: SEASON TWO features episodes with guest stars
as diverse as Andrew McCarthy, Amy Sedaris, John Turturro,
Sarah Silverman, and SNL's Rachel Dratch. |
Monk TV Season 3

The critically
acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe winning MONK finally gave
talented character actor Tony Shalhoub his perfect role.
Adrian Monk (Shalhoub) is San Francisco's most brilliant
detective, but is unable to serve on the police force
because of his crippling neuroses and obsessive-compulsive
disorder. However, he continues his investigations
independently, often solving cases before the actual
police are able to do so, and always seeking out clues to
the unsolved murder of his wife. The combination of
comedy, mystery, and a distinctively eccentric character
have lead many to dub MONK the successor to COLUMBO. MONK:
SEASON THREE collects all 16 episodes of the show's third
year, with the final episodes featuring Monk's assistant
Sharona (Bitty Schram), a casting decision that proved
controversial among fans of the program. |
