Amazon.com:
Adrian Monk is still "the man" as this brilliant fourth season demonstrates. Not that his confidence in his crime-solving abilities isn't tested from time to time. In the fun season-opener, Monk finds himself upstaged by low-rent private eye Marty Eels (guest star Jason Alexander in a spinoff-worthy role). The very flappable Monk is further undone by Eels' seemingly uncanny ability to find clues in the baffling case of a jewelry store robbery ("He's cheating," Monk protests in vain). This is something of a "threshold" season for Monk, to quote his psychiatrist, who is moved to openly weep when Monk uncharacteristically allows a glass to go uncoastered at one point. But his obsessive-compulsive disorders still get the best of him, as in one of the season's more clever episodes, "Mr. Monk Goes to the Office," in which Monk, going undercover, is blissfully in his element as an "office drone," doing the same tasks day in and day out. Just as he is accepted as one of the office gang, he alienates them by not participating in a bowling tournament (it must be the shoes).
Tony Shalhoub, a two-time Emmy-winner for his nuanced performances as Monk, was nominated for his third Emmy for this season. One of his finest hours is "Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk," in which it appears that his beloved late wife, Trudy, is not only still alive, but a suspect in a murder. This season also develops Monk's relationship with his new personal assistant, Natalie (Trayler Howard). In "Mr. Monk Gets Drunk," it's all about trust when Natalie initially doesn't believe Monk's implausible tale of a disappeared wine-country-inn guest Monk claims to have met the night before. Genius is pain, John Lennon once said, and this applies to Monk. His neurotic tendencies alienate him from the mainstream. In "Office," he so wants to be accepted that he writes conversational cue cards, and the solving of the crime doesn't compensate for him being a cubicle laughingstock. But as the series progresses, Monk is getting better, so much so, that Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) informs him that he is being put under contract retainer for "16 homicides a year." With a sly nod to the series' renewal, Stottlemeyer tells him they best take things "one year at a time." --Donald Liebenson

Things keep changing for the characters, which is a good thing for any tv series; it helps the show to evolve. The captain's marriage crumbles, Julie tries modeling, Randy speaks up for himself, and Monk has several breakthroughs with the help of Dr. Kroger, although the main character's tragic core remains, and is central to the show.
I still have to say that I miss Bitty Schram tremendously; Howard just doesn't quite fill the void, although she does her best.

I'm not really a TV person. As my manager Blane over at the trophy shop would tell you, drunk or sober, "Ramiro's family in Mexico couldn't afford a television set when he was growing up, so he got to miss out on a lotta culture." He's a bully. Now I just ignore him. Yes, we did have a TV; I just didn't watch it! My grandmother did all the watching, enough watching for the whole family. Blane knows all the TV shows you could imagine, just like my Tita did -- may she rest in peace. Times have ... Read More

Mr. Monk doesn't fail to obsessively, compulsively, entertain.
All seasons are a must in order to "...do it the Monk way..."
(Mr. Monk becomes a butler in season five)
In season four, regardless of "flinching" once, our detective later is flinchless as he once again gets his man.
My only complaint for season four - is that lovely Natalie is coiffed and dressed ridiculously for part of it (where did those frills come from? And the chopped hair?) The wardrobe improves ... Read More

Monk is one of those shows with forumlaic rhythm and predictable endings, but somehow always manages to be entertaining. It has tremendous acting, involving character development, and a lighthearted treatment.
Season 4 joins the regular cast in some pretty fun episodes. There's one involving Monk's brother that truly had me on the edge of my seat, John Turturro plays the reacurring role of Monk's brother with masterful skill.
Malcolm McDowell and Jeffrey Donovan also make ... Read More

We've watched through disc one. One of the stories was kind of depressing, but overall it's a wonderful show and Monk always gets the bad guy.
