Monk Synopsis: Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

The Official Channel devoted to the brilliance of DI Adrian Monk; the defective San Franciscan detective, whose OCD is both a blessing and a curse. We'll be posting the very best moments from the show so, like Monk, you'll never miss a beat.

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

This is probably one of my favorite episodes because of the premise of a comatose suspect and the humor in it like when Monk is doing the “Here’s what happened” and the mailman keeps interjecting.😂❤

[@acethegoat79]

Yes...so well written

[@marystrenke3050]

😂,,😂😂

[@ishotmyboss]

The coma victim played an unhinged mailman in Greg the Bunny.

[@MyrrdinWylltEmrys]

😅

[@markwegner6821]

The mailman, you're right, a once off "this is what happened." You explain things so we'll. 💎

[@chloeyen3077]

When the murderer is exposed, you can see Maria, the housekeeper, glaring at him, because he needed someone to open “his” mail, almost making her dead.

[@knightowlofhorde385]

You can also see how he reacted when the Maid was there to greet him, he fidgeted around in an obvious manner that he hadn't expected her to be there... AKA he thought she would be dead. So when she brought out the package unopened coupled with her being alive, he concluded instantly that she had not opened the bomb and instead brought it to him. Meaning he was a dead man... And she was definitely pissed that it confirmed he had sent a bomb that would have killed her, to make himself look innocent. Poor girl, to have what she thought was a nice man/boss set her up to die to make it look like he had been one of the victims...

[@Bweyg]

3:38 "Monk he's a vegatable. He's not even a vegatable he hopes one day to be a vegatable." I laughed at this for 5 minutes straight XD

[@patrickhannon4217]

Me too, I was coming to the comments to write pretty much the same thing 🤣🤣

[@filipvadas7602]

1. This was probably one, if not THE, best legitimatey mystery of the show. Right up there with "Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation" 2. Who else wishes Tamil/The mailman had been a reocurring character? He was hillarious!

[@a.g.demada5263]

Yes, like Miss Bronwyn in the episode you mentionned. She was a good partner for him

[@MrNicodepies]

Well put, Tamil.

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

This is one of the best actual mysteries in the run of Monk. The end solve/ reveal is perhaps one of the most unexpected of the series . The idea of the plot with the "stress test" is clever. The car chase leading into a coma is also a nice twist. This episode is very Columbo like.

[@Fiduciariesonio]

Not Columbo Like, is Porbably based on Short Fuse, from Season 1

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

@Fiduciariesonio Short Fuse is a Columbo episode. Thus it would be Columbo like.

[@marymccaffrey48]

One of the best uses ever of "You don't see that every day."

[@vaylonkenadell]

Right up there with the one in Ghostbusters.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

I like how, at 5:35, if you don't know anything about Monk you would think, "Oh, he's being careful not to put any fingerprints on the doorknob." But if you know Monk, this action has a completely different significance.

[@andrewstanley8945]

I'm new to monk. Why?

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@andrewstanley8945 Because Monk is a germaphobe. (Among his many irrational fears.)

[@tajmahaltv1182]

Captain: Don’t move! Suspect: Slowly started to run after 2 seconds Did you really think he would actually stay there while you chase down another bad guy? Lol

[@bigbearkat2010]

Does the guy really think they're not going to find him again and remember this?

[@nicholaslewis8594]

Might as well say it.

[@harmonicajay91]

When you see the ATF guys, you realize why Stottlemeyer was happy to see Monk: What local law enforcement can't resist trying to make the feds look stupid?

[@doctorjay8673]

A normal person can't even resist

[@robynmorita8207]

Don’t forget, Brian Babbage hired a “terrible lawyer” prior to him being comatose. Something tells me that he’s going away for a *LONG* time!

[@potsdam28]

He could switch lawyers but even a good lawyer would have trouble since he confessed in public

[@sineadbradyfan2151]

Tamil is by far my favorite non-reoccurring Monk character.

[@gtfoh1802]

Monk is so funny 😆 He wanted to go postal on that mailman 😂😂

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

9:30 Sharona’s look is priceless

[@valeriecraven3831]

I am 81 and I have watched all 8 series 3 times. The comedy is fantastic. Each having their funny personalities. Your film made me laugh so much. Than you. But this is the thing, why did Sharona leave. She is a wonderful actress. God bless you for making me smile again

[@varoonnone7159]

I'm currently watching the whole series I missed some episodes when I was young, I'm 34 today It gives me nostalgia and also so much joy when I fall on an episode I hadn't watch before Sharona left because of pay rise issues with the production but Natalie was surprisingly good

[@GregMoress]

My cat asked just one question as it made it's way to the sofa... "How long would a person need to hold a package with glue on top to the inside of a metal mailbox before it would stick?" Which makes me wonder about my cat's past lives...

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Depends on the kind of glue. Some glues are formulated to stick almost immediately.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

You should wonder more if your cat is planning on murder.

[@jajafeedyns8082]

That's not a cat. That is Salem.

[@CycleMantis]

I don't remember that incredible exploding toilet scene lol

[@4jgarner]

Cinematic perfection.

[@valeriecraven3831]

Natalie is also a very fantastic actress and she is so caring❤❤

[@johnwakefield5633]

This episode has everything - Stottlemeyer & the come-uppance of the ATC agent, Sharona's husband's back-story, up-staging Monk's birthday gift of a rock polishing kit (!!), the drama in the ICU, not least, the cameo performance by the USPS (South-Asian immigrant) proclaiming the Postal Service rules (with more pride than a native-born citizen, and finally the ingenious gluing solution to the crime.

[@thecunninlynguist]

[@akmi1931]

Yeah, one of the main points of all the villains in Monk, no matter how smart they are, the can’t think of everything and overlook the stupidest details.

[@toddkes5890]

Or used a different knot for the mail bombs than the one he used for his shoes?

[@Chugargonfan]

LOL that pickup truck backed into the car at full speed

[@rosebalistiks6142]

It just hit me why the maid looked at hime like that. He tried to kill her too.

[@a.g.demada5263]

I don't think he tried to kill her but she would be more a colateral damage

[@mavicityrelayson2924]

The cat died in the explosion 😢

[@SolazLive]

He could just say that he heard/read that his family was getting killed by mail bombs is why he reacted to the package and they would be back to having no proof that it was him

[@impossibleboy162]

Could have done that, but there was an eyewitness

[@adamloga3788]

Who bothers trying to mailbomb a comatose man?

[@impossibleboy162]

@adamloga3788 if you are confused, his plan was not getting in a coma but rather get arrested and to be sure he gets jail time he would have a terrible criminal lawyer.

[@adamloga3788]

@impossibleboy162 oh no, I remember the episode, I was giving a rebuttal for why the top comment would be considered a poor defense. In my opinion, at least.

[@haydenhouts]

My favorite episode

[@calebsoria1777]

Here’s what happened the man wanted to get arrested but was in a coma instead. Reason being because he wanted to kill his siblings with bombs that he precisely delivered so he would have an alabó. There was only one problem with his plan and that was monk.

The maid was just going to be collateral damage. He sent a bomb to himself when he knew he wasn't going to be home to avoid suspicion making it look like he was one of the targeted victims. He knew the maid would likely be killed as a result but he didn't care if the maid lived or died.
