Editorial Reviews:

He’s ingenious, he’s phobic, he’s obsessive-compulsive. Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner "Tony Shalhoub is a riot" (TV Guide) in Monk, the show that critics are praising as "fresh, exciting and utterly original." (Chicago Tribune)
Monk’s hilarious, offbeat antics have made him unfit for duty but he’s back as a police consultant to help out on their most baffling cases. The brilliant but neurotic Monk is now fighting crime as well as his abnormal fears of germs, cars, heights, crowds and virtually everything else known to man in "the best detective show to come along in decades." (NY Post)
"Nothing on TV generated more fun than this" (LA Times) and now you can enjoy the entire first season of Monk on DVD.

Summary: You Can't Watch Just One
Comment: Warning: Only watch Monk if you want to get hooked! The writing for this series is some of the best that I have seen on TV in years. The character is very relatable and brilliantly played by Tony Shalhoub. I literally watched almost the entire first season in one day when I bought it on DVD. If you are someone like me, I hadn't even watched one episode before I bought the first season. I knew it was popular, my friends liked it and that Tony is a brilliant actor. That's all you need to know to start watching now. It's popular for a reason, and that is reason is because it's good. So, if you have any doubts, at least buy the first season. You will be hooked! I warned you.

I will NO LONGER purchase my DVD's from a chain of stores..Thanks Amazon :)

Summary: Superb Shaloub
Comment: Tony Shaloub brings Adrian Monk, a brilliant former police detective, to life with his performances of the OCD investigator and received a well deserved Emmy for his role.
The scripts are well written with a pefect mix of humor and mystery combined and seems more of a throwback type of series, think of mixing of Murder She Wrote with Columbo bought up to date - no over the top violence, effects or graphics just a mystery solving series.
Shaloub is surrounded by a very good cast, including his nurse and psyhciatrist.
Monk is a breath of fresh air in the crime/mystery genre on television and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Monk is/was the best show I have ever seen.
Comment: I love this show. It has everything and Tony Shaloub and Bitty Schram are simply brilliant. I was sad to see sharona go and the show managed to stay pretty good till the 5th season. Now, it is almost a parody....So sad, but seasons 1 and 2 are a knock out!

Summary: Great TV Detective Series
Comment: This is a wonderful series. Monk to me is just like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, but turned modern. Poirot was once a policeman, like Monk, before he became a private detective. Poirot has a lot of the same quirks as Monk, or I should say Monk has a lot of the same quirks as Poirot. The Monk stories are interesting though not nearly as complex as Agatha Christie's writings. Another thing I like about this series is that it is only mildly violent with no adults-only scenes, so we can watch this as a family. We are enjoying having this first season as part of our dvd collection.
