Monk

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Most of you have heard of the show about an obsessive compulsive detective named Adrian Monk. It all started when his wife, Trudie, was murdered by an unknown person with a car bomb. Ever since, his phobias have increased and his compulsions are stronger. His wife's death is the only crime he hasn't been able to solve. His caretaker was Sharona Fleming, a former nurse, but after she left to remarry her ex-husband Natalie Teeger came along to help Monk along.

The show is now in its 4th season.

Any comments? :)

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Any comments? :) Well, I'd have to say that some of my favorite episodes of Monk would have to be Mr. Monk and the Kid (but the ending is so sad), Mr. Monk Goes to the Wedding, and Mr. Monk Goes to the Fashion Show. But I like all of the episodes I've seen. :D If only I could see the ones I haven't seen yet...
Has anyone read the Monk novel? It's sooo good! It's called Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse, just in case you want to look for it at a bookstore or a library. :)

[Lotesse]

If you two are sisters, do you just - not live together, or something? So you have to moot like this to be able to communicate with each other? Which is cool, I'm just really curious. Are you twins? :) The Thain/Meriadoc mystery continues... :D

My Dad loves the show Monk. He likes to rent the season DVDs and watch entire blocks of Monk. I get really tired of it after an episode or two, but Dad thinks its aces.

Is that latter one where he is a "big fan of shirt inspector number eight"? :D
Ohhh...I never saw anything about his background. Like I once commented, they don't have those kind of shows out here.

No we live in the same house. We're just sisters, not twins. MB is older. :)
Is that latter one where he is a "big fan of shirt inspector number eight"?:D
If you mean Mr. Monk and the Fashion Show, then yeah. I never really got the former/latter thing.
Quoting Mr. Monk:
This one was inspected by number 6. I'm not a big fan of number 6. Do you have any inspected by number 8?
:p

[Lotesse]

No we live in the same house. We're just sisters, not twins. MB is older. :)


:p
So - so you each have a computer in your separate bedromms, and you both go online at the same time, and one sister writes something on her computer in her own bedroom, and then you - the other sister, immediately answer her posts, and that's what you two do? How come you two are never on at the same simultaneous time? And the reason why I say twins is 'cause you two have the same exact style, voice, and characteristics. Like twins, really CLOSE twins. You're a trip, Thain/Meriadoc! :D ;) It's all good; your secret's safe with me - or, us, that is. :) ;) :D


Have you seen the one where Monk and his posse go to New York City; that episode stands out. I guess I don't really recall the details of most of the individual episodes. Even though I have sat & watched dozens of these shows with my Dad, I can't seem to really commit much of them to memory. There was one about a fake psychic, I remember that one was cool. I think that's the one where Monk says to help him find a small pebble. Remember the one?

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Ohhh...I never saw anything about his background. Like I once commented, they don't have those kind of shows out here.
Monk is currently looking for a 6-fingered man, who hired the man who built the car bomb which was set off by Trudie's cell phone. The bomb-builder told Monk this (Mr. Monk Goes to Manhattan)as he was dying from kidney disease.
Bomb-builder (I forget his name): You were the husband?
Monk: I am the husband.
:(

[Lotesse]

Yes! Now I DO remember that show, because of the bit about him finally facing the guy who bombed his wife. And in the hospital, when he sees him face to face, he has pity on him because that's how kind his wife would have been. Something like, he stopped his morphine drip, so the guy was in terrible pain, but then said "This is the woman you killed, turning it back on," or something to that effect.

Actually, we only use one computer (we don't have our own). Pippin's more random than I am. :p How would you know we have the same voice? Hmm? ;)

Lotesse, if I didn't remember, I'd probably panic! :D
Stottlemeyer: Well don't panic.
Monk: I... I'm not panicing. Where's the ambulance?
Mr. Monk Stays in Bed

Monk: I'm looking for a small pebble. It's about the size of a... small pebble.

Monk: This is me, turning off your morphine.
(long pause)
And this is Trudie, the woman you killed, turning it back on.

[trolls' bane]

Hmm...from the episodes I saw, I can't imagine him doing anything like that. :(

Monk is very unpredictable sometimes. I wonder what would happen if he met the killer face to face?
Of course, that's not going to be an episode any time soon, because then the case would be solved and Monk cured! There's going to at least be a season 5 and 6! :)

Was there a motive for killing his wife?

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Was there a motive for killing his wife?
That's unknown. Nobody even knows who the killer is. (More specifically, the guy who hired the bomb-builder in the first place.)

Oh! I see.

I, personally, can't wait until tomorrow when Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist premiers. Is that ever going to be funny! :p

[Spock]

Yep the new season is starting off very funny. I'm taping it to watch over the weekend since my HP DVD didn't get here when it was supposed to. :(

I loved the Monk in the prison with the guy called "the whale". Of course I have to keep telling myself that a guy like that just couldn't survive in todays world, even with such a hot helper as Natalie :D

Actually, there are only 2 episodes left this season! This is "Season 4.5" (4.0 was before Christmas, and there were no new Monk's during the Olympics).

He's rich, Mr. Spock. Rich! You see Dale the Whale in another Monk episode called "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale", even though he already knew Dale before... Anyway, both are with Sharona, not Natalie. ;) I wonder how Dale... nevermind. :eek: :D

Monk: Be careful, Sharona.
Sharona: What is he going to do? Pass wind on me?*

*Please note that the Fatman (Dale) weighs some 900 pounds.

Who's Sharona and Natalie? :confused:

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Who's Sharona and Natalie? :confused:
Sharona was Monk's first assistant. She used to be a nurse. She basically handed him wipes, and made sure he didn't freak out.
Natalie did basically the same thing, except she was never a nurse. She became his assistant after Sharona left Monk to re-marry her ex-husband.

Oh, man! I have "Don't Need a Badge" by the Randy Disher Project stuck in my head. *bangs head on wall* I actually sorta (SORTA!) like it. It gets annoying after a while, though. :rolleyes: :)

Three-quarters of the time, either we have no idea what YOu're talking about with your advanced astrophysics and suchlike, or you have no idea what WE are talking about with our knowledge and interest in popular culture!

I beleive you to be incorrect, miss. That would be "oranges and lemons" as in "Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clements," part of a rhyme that is frequently used in the book Nineteen Eighty-four but has earlier orginins.

Popular culture? *wonders what THAT is* Some sort of TV show, I'm guessing? ;)

Anyway, TB, "Don't need a Badge" was sung by Randy Disher. You know, the guy with... unique theories. It's in Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist. Oh, and it's on usanetwork.com/monk. The uncut version! :D

Oh! He's a charachter IN monk?
Oh, I know them both now. Like the fashion show one where he was trying to look like James Bond or something.

Thanks! :D

I have seen Monk...*thinks*...three times, maybe two. One was where some guy got his hand broken in the door of his car by someone who could read lips even though he was deaf, and the fashion show one...Maybe there was one more? Dunno.

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

So you've seen Mr. Monk Goes to the Office and Mr. Monk and the Fashion Show. Those are part of the fourth season.

[trolls' bane]

Yeah, he's in Monk. Where did you think he was? :D

Yes! That was it. Now I remember. Yes, he "works" in the office.

Here's some quotes:

Mr. Monk meets Dale the Whale
Monk: I know who did it.
Sharona: We haven't started yet! Come on!
Monk: It was Professor Plum in the dining room with a rope.
[Benjy pulls out the answer card and looks up in surprise.]
Benjy: He's right!
Monk: We played this game last year. I remember what cards everybody was holding, and how they were put away, and just now, I was watching how Benjy shuffled…
---
[Sharona answers a phone call from Captain Stottlemeyer.]
Sharona: Oh, well, actually, ah, we were just finishing up a pretty big case. It was this nasty homicide, um… this woman was found murdered in her dining room with a rope…
--------------------------
Mr. Monk Goes Back To School
Stottlemeyer: Well, I guess this is your worst nightmare, a crime scene on a rooftop.
Monk: No, it's not my worst nightmare. It's my fourth worst. No, wait, fifth. No, fourth. Fourth or fifth, I didn't bring the list with me.

[trolls' bane]

[Monk examines a mummified Neanderthal at the science museum.]
Monk: This man didn't freeze to death! He was murdered! There's a puncture wound in the side of his skull.
Natalie: It was over 30,000 years ago!
Monk: Well, there's no statute of limitations on murder.

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Mr. Monk and the Astronaut
Monk: There was an escape pod?
Disher: Not officially, but I think he smuggled one on.
Monk: How?
Disher: He's resourceful. He made it.
Stottlemeyer: Yeah from a kit. In his basement.
DIsher: It's just a theory.
Stottlemeyer: No it's not.

Or something like that.

Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa
[Monk hands Stottlemeyer a wrapped box]
Monk: It's an air purifier.
Stottelmeyer: Are you saying my house smells?
Monk: Not you're house, but houses like yours... have a certain odor... a kind of sour stench. It's very unpleasent. Not your house...
Stottlemeyer: Thanks, Monk. Have you ever heard of Ebay?
Monk: Ebay? No.

I wouldn't trust an escape pod that I built. I would surely burn up and die in the atmosphere.

Dr. Kroger: Glaciers. Okay.
Monk: No, rodeos. No, no glaciers.
Dr. Kroger: Why don't we start with a basic one, like heights. Let's go up on the roof.
Monk: *groans* Sit down.
Dr.: Okay, I'm sitting.
Monk: How about we start by naming really tall things. Like the Sears Tower. No, no, that's too tall. How about... a regular Sears.

Monk's on right now! Mr. Monk and the Canidate! The 2 hour pilot! :) :D

Yeah, Mr. Monk Bumps his Head isn't my favorite, either.

Mr. Monk Goes to Vegas is Season 3, silly! That one was really good though. ;)

Season 4:

Mr. Monk:

Goes Home Again
Stays in Bed

and Mrs. Monk
Goes to a Wedding
and Little Monk
and the Secret Santa
Goes to a Fashion Show
Bumps His Head

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

For school I had to write a contrast paper, so I decided to do one about Monk and Columbo. I'm also doing a compare paper about them which I'll post once I finish writing it. ;)

Contrasting Adrian Monk and Lt. Columbo

Adrian Monk and Lt. Columbo, though both TV detectives with unique methods of solving crime, have many differences. Working as a private investigator, Monk solves crimes, though sometimes he gets distracted and ends up cleaning rather than doing his job. Monk, a former police officer, must have everything neat and perfectly organized. For example, Adrian always wears pressed suits with his shirts buttoned all the way to the top. He always has wipes with him in case he has to shake someone's hand. Messy and unorganized, Lieutenant Columbo tends to wear rumpled, ill-fitting clothes. Also, unlike Monk, Columbo is a police officer, and doesn't spend time worrying about uneven shelves.
They also have different ways of solving crime. Monk has an excellent memory. He remembers minor details at the crime scene, which helps him to solve the cases he works on. He uses evidence to convict his suspects, and doesn't ask them many questions. Although he usually works in San Fransisco, Monk will occasionally travel to different cities if needed. On the other hand, Columbo works in Los Angeles. He usually questions suspects until they confess. Occasionally, he forgets what he plans to ask them, something Monk would never do. Despite their differences, both Columbo and Monk are exceptional detectives.



So, what do you think? :)

Who is this Lt. Columbo? Is he related to Lenny Briscoe?
:D

TBT 1 -good job. ........I'm miffed that they're showing reruns already of Monk.:(

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Who is this Lt. Columbo? Is he related to Lenny Briscoe?
:D
He's a TV detective on a show called 'Columbo'. I think the show aired in the 70's and maybe the 80's. There were some more recent ones, but Peter Falk (The dude who played Columbo) looks really old.

Spock, you've seen this one, right? Remember the song Stottlemeyer say in the Casino? "Ain't No Sunshine"? My mom, Pip, and I heard that while in a store and started cracking up! That song is forever doomed! :p

[Spock]

Yeah, I loved that when he started singing it. At least I enjoyed it more than when they had that idiot partner start a band. Monks new season begins in a couple of weeks; looking forward to it.

What, Randy? He started that band in high school! You gotta admit: "Don't need no mustache" is funny. :p
A couple of weeks? I thought it wasn't supposed to start until July! :eek: Do you mean that they're playing the 4th season again? :confused:

[Spock]

could be-maybe I got it confused with Sea of Souls, another favorite.....you might be right-July..................here's the thing :confused:

Great. I thought so after posting. However, Sea of Souls on BBCA does start later this month. Great show if you can get it.

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

When do you think the 4th season of Monk will come out on DVD? My friend bets that it'll be out "late April, early May". I think it's closer to late May or longer.

Who the hell is Harold Krenshaw? A multi-phobic patient of Doctor Kroger and rival of Monk?
Monk is a show that is easy to get obsessed with. :p

(Another quote from Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike that TB talked about):

The people woke up at 5 am and couldn't go back to sleep because it smelled like a buffalo had died in their closet.



Harold Krenshaw, who has appeared in previous episodes, is indeed what you describe him as. ;)

I can't believe that Season 5.5 isn't until January! :(

Hey, I said I was into it, I didn't say that I've seen many shows yet. (In fact, I didn't start watching it regularly until "Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike", and even then I only seem able to catch the new ones.)

Was the finale any good? I was busy and I forgot about it.

Yes, very good. And just so everyone knows, there should be a Monk marathon on September 8, starting at 6 a.m. Unless the schedule on the USA Network website is wrong, that is. ;)

The eighth? Isn't that a Thursday? Well what good does that do me? :p

Actually, it's a Friday. ;) And the marathon goes til 6 p.m. :)

[trolls' bane]

Ooo! Neat! I'll catch two episodes! :D Actually, sarcasm excluded, thanks for the info. I would have never looked that up. :)

w00t!

All too soon the season is over and we must wait until January for a new seasons episode. I can remember when the season just started in mid September; this is not progress, :(

Well, November 17 there was Mr. Monk Meets His Dad.
Adrian: It's touching.
Jack (Monk): I know, it is.
Adrian: No, the food. It's touching.


AND there will be a special episode December 22! Mr. Monk and the Leper will first be shown in black and white, and then in color. Then, viewers can go and vote for which one they like better. :D


Dang, I feel like I'm advertising. :rolleyes:

I think the black and white will make it look Sherlock Holmes-y, but in color, you can see the entire cuteness of Natalie's outfits. ;)

LOL!
You two are too funny. :D

Thank you. *flips hair* :D

I saw one and a half episode of Monk. It looked like an awesome show if one has time to watch five seasons of an hour long TV show. ;) :D :D

:D I haven't seen 2 or 3 Monks, still. I recommend: Mr. Monk and the Candidate (Pilot); Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation, Mr. Monk and the Airplane, and Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico (Just because they're plain fuuuuuuunny!); Mr. Monk and the Red Herring (introduction to Natalie); and shows with Natalie in them. :p :D

[trolls' bane]

I still haven't seen his former partner, never once. :rolleyes:
What's her name again?

:D You mean his former nurse/assistant ? Sharona Fleming. Natalie's better.

[trolls' bane]

I agree, but only because I've never seen the former. :cool:

The 100th episode of Monk is on tonight! :)

Yay! Oh, now you tell me.

*pokes* I might suggest looking at your post count if you haven't already. ;)
