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.
#Monk #AdrianMonk #TonyShalhoub
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.

Monk is my comfort series. Even if it is about homicide, when life is tough or I'm sick, I feel like I'm visiting family and I'm with people that understand..

[@slake9727]

I feel the same about Monk, and especially Columbo.

[@ambes5473]

Dude gives hope

[@rahbeeuh]

Same here! When it was on TV people thought I was odd for staying home on Friday nights to watch a detective show. I was younger and in school still so that's why people thought that but I didn't care. What Monk said about his favorite show is similar to how I felt about Monk. If I made it to Friday night I'd be alright.

[@n7meg]

Same! Monk is my cure for a terrible day

[@mkmom8473]

I couldn't let him live with someone else.

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

I laughed at Randy cutting into the conversation with the guy who had the same jacket as him.😂 Also, it’s just such an amazingly small detail that it came down to envelope sizes that tipped Monk off to who the culprit was. Truly an incredible detective!😊❤

[@hollybigelow5337]

That response of Captain Stottlemeyer talking about thinking about his brother every day always gets me. He so easily could have either overplayed it or underplayed it, but for me he hits it just right, and it is a really powerful moment that captures how probably 90% of cops feel after having to kill someone in self-defense, (I leave off 10% for the true psychopaths that are attracted to the job who probably get a sick thrill out of it).

[@ouroboris]

Ted Levine was an excellent and very versatile actor. He always hit the nail on the head no matter what he played!

[@SuperCanayaZ]

She planned a crime, at the police station, where Monk has worked for several years and knowing Monk's effectiveness in solving impossible cases. Very bad planning, you can't beat Monk.

[@peteralexandergraae2830]

This lady ia clearly no psychological genius of any kind. And i have no doubt, she will inspire a special section in hell.

[@stealthynaxo]

What if I... sneeze without covering my mouth.

[@rahbeeuh]

Monk means so much to me. Growing up I felt like the odd girl out but the show gave me so many ways to express things I had trouble with. The show was part of my self-discovery journey and it's just really special. Monk is also my comfort show.

[@voltjmgaming2119]

This was my favorite show growing up as well.

[@tobex6626]

“Couldn’t live without him” *continues to live without him after killing him* How ironic of a statement

[@colleenodriscoll8914]

What she really meant to say was that she couldn’t live without him being with her. What she couldn’t live with was watching him with another woman. One of those “if I can’t have you then no one can” situations

[@dmoney322]

That moment you realize the Captain saved Randy's life by not letting him have the bottle of Port... this chick took a lot of chances with her plan. Things couldve gone wrong and someone else couldve drank from that bottle. What if Terry shared it with someone?

[@elimDBZ]

She clearly wasn't thinking about other people getting caught up in her scheme so long as Terry died.

[@michaelnadler596]

He could easily have poured a glass for most of the people at that party; it was a full-sized bottle, and port servings are small.

[@dmoney322]

@@michaelnadler596 yup exactly my point!

[@hollybigelow5337]

My personal guess is she is so psychopathic she didn’t care how many other people died as long as her target died and she wasn’t suspected. I’m sure she knew there was a chance he might share the drink or even that the Captain might give it to someone else or even just take it home before the Christmas Party. I’m sure she chose the Captain because she knew he personally didn’t like port, but if he had given to Randy or Karen, or if her target had taken it home and shared it with his wife and/or best friend, I get the impression she wouldn’t have cared much about the “collateral damage.” And my guess is she had 3 or 4 backup plans to make sure her target died, and even if say Karen had died instead she could have used that as a distraction to make it look like additional deaths were related because someone was trying to kill the Captain. That is one of the scariest of all killers - the person who is so numb and selfish and desperate and psychopathic that they have basically given up on everything and are willing to do pretty much anything to get their target without caring even a tiny bit about who gets caught as collateral damage in the process. My personal sense is she didn’t even care that much if she died or got caught in the crossfire. She obviously preferred not to get caught, but it definitely seems to me that even when she did get caught she was so out of her mind she barely even was aware of the fact she had been caught. Talk about scary.

[@metrosity5863]

I loved how through the episode it was the one person no one ever suspected

[@rahbeeuh]

Those are some of the best episodes

[@SebastienGendron-uk4po]

Yep, what I love about is after the reveal there is no denial, running away, or physical confrontation. Only a cop that has been doing this job for years and admitted, surrendered, and cooperated calmly all while getting gingerbread cookies. It was a bit creepy

[@marvtomson574]

Killing her off in style! Simply because we [the audience] WOULD NEVER see it coming. LOL I loved her character, but then got her back when Lucifer came around.

[@keithbannister9271]

AGREED 💯 I liked her character more than Sharona...

[@FrozeMoments]

A truly great episode. I love how every word uttered is a clue to something. Smart writing

[@waynewright5023]

🙄🙄.. "Alice" (Rachael Harris) is such a sociopath that, even after she is revealed to be the murderer, what is her priority?? Getting the cookies out of the oven. She didn't even try to deny doing it, and she only became emotional when her mistake of mixing up the gift cards is what proved to be her undoing. *THAT* was what provoked an emotional response from her--not the fact that she had cold-bloodedly killed a father and a husband..😒😒

[@peteralexandergraae2830]

She needs a therapist. I am sure that there is a special place in hell, devoted to her. (Joke)

[@originalv5107]

I love the “couldn’t with without them” cliche. “I just couldn’t live without them…so I killed them! Now I’m going to live the rest of my life without them. Yeah, I totally thought this through.”

I was flabbergasted when I found out. I'm quick to be fooled by different costumes but with a voice as distinct as his, I'd usually recognize the actor. But the roles were just too far from each other.
