Charming as Ever October 15, 2008

I've seen season 1,2,3,4,....6. Season 5 is as imaginative and charming as any I have seen and I have seen 1/2 of season 5 so far. Each episode, while each has the same theme of cracking an impossible case by a challenged ex-policeman, is fresh. For the most part, the evidence is there for all of us to figure out if we could put it together. Mr. Monk is an endearing character. The chemistry is just right among the characters to weave a fabric of entertainment from beginning to end. There are few loose ends. Over the years I have caught a few minutes of an episode on free TV and when the commercial came on, I switched channels. It was not until I purchased the DVD that I found out how wonderful this series is. I found this true of a number of TV series like "NYPD Blue" "Picket Fences" etc. What have I been watching for the last 10 years.......Commercials. Free TV and now cable and satellite TV are nothing more than advertisements for TV shows to be purchased. I go to the library and get the DVD free for the first season to find if I like it. Since libraries do not carry the latests TV DVDs, I buy the rest on Amazon or eBay. 1/2 the time Amazon is less expensive than eBay. I buy used as much as possible and then sell them on eBay so the cost to me is very close to the auction cost. Sure beats paying a cable bill.

My good ness, look at all the glowing reviews. I gave this one star just to offset the rating a little. Honestly I would have given 2 stars. I have been a fan of Monk since the beginning. I loved seasons 1& 2. Season 3 was pretty good as well, but not as good as the previous two. Season 4 started to fall off. My wife and I though there were at least 6 or 7 throw away episodes. Also the show got considerably sillier. Season 5 has done it for me. I just tinished the last episode and I am officially over "Monk". The writing on this show has gone so downhill it's not even funny. It has become a silly almost farcical satire. It was not this silly in the first two seasons I'm sorry. It had humor, yes but it was fresh and the storylines took center stage and Monk was an interesting Character. Season five consisted of recycled plots, recycled jokes and every character has become more of a caricature. Stottlemeyer and Disher have become especially absurd when they could have been explored more as charaters. Really sad. Monk was a nice gimmick for a while and great writing could have kept it afloat. However this has not been the case whatsoever. The writing has become abysmal. By Monk

this series was is appointing in many ways. I bought it because it was so many minutes of my favorite series but it was not worth the money. It had a repeated episode (Monk meets the Lepord). It was not even that good of a story. They wanted to show it in black and white and color what a waste. There was not that many episodes. The only saving factor was the Psyco bonus episode. In conclusion it is not worth the effort to buy or watch. I hope season 6 is better.
Very satisfied. Excellent purchase July 29, 2008
