Amazon.com:
The ranks of fictional genius gumshoes were joined by former San Francisco detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) in the summer of 2002, and he is indeed a welcome addition. Cable channel USA Network introduced Monk, a bright comedy-drama series about an obsessive-compulsive sleuth drummed out of police work following the murder of his wife and a subsequent spike in his overwhelming neuroses. Once a rising star in the homicide department, the twitchy savant is still valuable to Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), who reluctantly calls on Monk to solve difficult, high-profile murders of judges, billionaires, police informants, and famous attorneys. Monk's talent for finding clues and seeing the big picture in criminal investigations makes him a force to reckon with, but his many phobias (germs, heights, asymmetry, and much, much else) aggravate Stottlemeyer and make Monk completely dependent on a long-suffering assistant, Sharona (Bitty Schram), a single mom who functions as Dr. Watson to Monk's Sherlock Holmes.
Each of the 12 episodes included in Monk: The Complete First Season is a delightful mix of clever whodunit puzzler, neurotic schtick, and deepening relationships. Among the latter, the bond between Monk and Sharona is most touching, as the platonic friends, sometimes aghast at how involved they are in each other's lives, surprise themselves with the breadth of their trust and commitment. In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum," Monk is forced into a stay at a mental hospital, where a murderer has convinced him he's crazy; it's Sharona who makes her boss realize he's not. In "Mr. Monk and the Earthquake," it's Monk who rushes to Sharona's aid when he deduces that a lying friend is about to kill her. In almost every episode, Monk is confronted with a phobic limitation he must overcome in order to save the day. The question is whether he will heal enough, one day, to re-join his old squad. For the sake of Monk's winning formula and fans, one has to hope such good news never comes to pass. --Tom Keogh

I LOVE IT! This show is laugh out loud funny at times. There is a little bit of mild language scattered here and there and one episode which involved super models that were scantily clad which I skipped over. Excellent writing, excellent acting, stellar plot twists and creative situations. Any season of "MONK" is a winner!Monk: Season SevenMonk - Season OneMonk - Season SixMonk - Season FiveMonk - Season TwoMonk - Season FourMonk - Season Three

ALL the characters are perfect in this show! Whoever writes and directs it must be perfect too. There are only two TV series that my wife and I enjoy - 'Monk', which thankfully is still in production - and the 'Reba' TV series that unfortunately was discontinued after 6 seasons. We never get tired of watching either of these shows series.

I enjoy reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. There is a part of me that always wanted to have the ability that Holmes' does to come to a crime or mystery and notice what even very keen minds overlook and be able to successfully solve the mystery. Holmes has been the model of many a television detective Columbo to Jessica Fletcher and served as the current reigning king of cable television, Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub).

When I was a child, I have great memories of sitting around with my parents or grandparents in the evening after dinner and watching some good TV mysteries - we watched Mannix, Magnum PI, many more...
The majority of the shows these days are just trash because they are pushing a gay agenda or have people in relationships outside of marraige. I am teaching my children these things are wrong so I sure do not want to see that or WORSE on TV shows. Shame on you NBC, CBS and ABC...
