Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

leonritzert Huge leaps of logic, none sense plots and just a terribly constructed show. If you can turn off your brain it might be enjoyable, if not not so much. It isnt funny enough to be only a comedy show. After ep. 5 season1 it was enough. The actions of the characters dont make any sense what so ever. None. People ask themselves how monk solves these cases? Plot constrcution. It has no authenticity. Same goes for the episodes before that. Maybe i am taking this show too serious, but tbh as i said earlier it isnt funny enough to be only a comedy show.

jcjs333 I see Amazon has 'Psyche' now which i binged on some years ago and Psyche is awesome' with great cameos and acting and funny. I'd pass by watching Monk i don't know why. I'm on Ep 14 of 7th season after about 7 days. I'm totally immersed in the pleasure of this series. I bet they have great out takes. I'm not going to say much about it. Ya just have to check it out and i trust you'll be as pleased. The show is 'one of a kind'. Someone told me they like Columbo better. Peter falk is great and the show was a hoot but it was more of a serious show and is different compared to Monk. Monk is 'Charlie Chan', 'Columbo', 'Sid Ceasar', 'Red Skelton', 'Red Buttons', 'Jack Benny', 'Flip Wilson', 'George Burns and Gracy Allen' , 'Steve Allen' and old them classic one of a kind good ole awesome humor. And 'clowning'. Monk is a modern day 'Red Skelton' on steroids. Also, i've gotten to the point where i turn on a series and i stop watching it if they use 'f--k'. The 'f-word' has lost it's meaning. I watched over 110 episodes of 'Monk' before i heard Capt Stoddlmeir say '...people come to a football game and get all 'f----d' up. It took hours and hours to hear 'f'. Tin Star starts out with the f word a dozen times said by the whole family. F word ought to be used sparingly and with gusto hitting a person's gut with it like the 'c' word. Nowadays, i think people who say 'f' are simply illiterate idiots and writers are bad who use it. They can't write. 'Death in Paradise', BBC, is a great series like Monk in it's humor and wind up at the end. But, MONK is Monk and Monk is a great actor and a great 'clown' making people laugh at him, with him and realize the humor in life. Sad, to see the show go. RED SKELTON is the first hit i got while watching it. Monk can act, though. Great job.

gwiesner My only regret is that they are not re-running all of the episodes. I have missed this show tremendously and am enjoying it even more than the first time around. It is charming, clever and something most of the family can watch. It is not intended to be an exercise in deep thought or intellectual pursuit. It is a comedy, and the self-proclaimed critics with negative views expose their ignorance by trying to make it into something it is not intended to be. The writing includes a variety of comedy types, and, as does the best comedy, includes some heartbreak.

Bullwinkle96 I love detective shows. WAIT! Why did you rate it a 1 you may be asking. Well I have a very good reason. Randy Newman made the song for Monk.Rasndy Newman can't sing for crap. He has a dopey voice that should be reserved for singing kids songs. Anyway this show is about a detective that solves crimes. He is a little bit like Columbo. Columbo is brilliant. Peter Falk "RIP" was a great detective. In fact, so is Monk. Unlike Columbo, in this show you don't see who the Murderer is at the beginning. It is a good show that lasted many seasons, but not as many as Columbo. Randy Newman is annoying. He did that song for Toy Story. Speaking of bad songs, Eurovision Song Contest is next week. I hope that the songs are lousy. I get a good laugh out of it every year.Watch the show but skip the credits, that is my advice.
