Customer Reviews:
Why did I wait so long?
Here’s a great cast, an interesting concept, and a treatment of OCDs that is not exploitative or cruel. And yet I waited this long to watch the first season! Go figure.

Tony Shalhoub is note-perfect as the title character, whom you can’t help but feel sorry for since the murder of his beloved wife. This trauma apparently exacerbated the already existent OCDs, requiring his assistant, played by the wonderful Bitty Schram, to accompany him almost everywhere.

Ted Levine does a fine job as well, playing Monk’s police chief. He is often taken aback by the troubled detective’s behavior but also knows that nobody can solve a case better than Monk can.

I have just started the second season, and it looks very promising as well.

Detective with a flair
I love the tv series and wanted to DVD so I can watch it again and again. No one beats Monk for detective work with a flair. Love the DVD.

Well done, exceptional acting, great storylines.
Monk is an obsessive compulsive savant of a detective. I love Tony Shaloub in this series. His portrayal of Monk is nothing less that Academy style. The way he pieces together minute clues makes you take a closer look at the world around you.

Losing his wife Trudy sends the man over the edge and his compulsions seem to get the better of him. It is worth continuing the series because the first few seasons are focused on his detective skills. 4 and 5 brink his true personality to life as he begins to cope with his wife’s death.

The subtle humor of this masterful series makes it a must watch.

refreshingly original
“Monk” is the first American detective/crime series in years that I have enjoyed - comedic or otherwise. Shows like “CSI” and other slick, new crime productions fall flat compared to their British counterparts, with too much shoot-em-up violence, lame dialogue and all the lead actors looking like they stepped out of a Calvin Klein ad.

The fact that “Monk” is comedy-based doesn’t at all retract from it’s being a valid detective show. It works on all levels. Both Tony Salhoub and Bitty Schram do fabulous jobs. A real must-see.

We Love Tony Shalhoub
Monk is great! This season one disc set is 4 DVDs, with a total of 12 episodes (that’s 3 per disc). The last disc contains a few special features, which I haven’t watched yet - Mr. Monk and His Origins, Mr. Monk and His O.C.D., Mr. Monk and His Fellow Sufferers, Mr. Monk and His Emmy Award-Winning Performance, and Mr. Monk and His Partners in Crime. I loved Mr. Shalhoub is Wings, and Monk does not disappoint! I think there’s alittle O.C.D. in all of us (some more than others ~cough~ lol). I can’t wait to get my gf the rest of the seasons, so I can watch ‘em too!
