has anyone seen the show "Monk"? It's about a detective, but he also suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He has phobias of germs, height, depth, milk, insects, snakes. And things must be symetrical for him. It is absolutely hilarious and does not mock or in make in fun of OCD patients. The actors are really great and well put, they are perfect for their roles. His disorder enables him so "see" things that other people do not see in Crime Scenes, such as solving extremely hard cases and... well.... its just so amazing. The plot is incredibly origional and the show is absolutely amazing

I love that show!
The guy who plays monk is my uncle’s [by marriage] cousin or 2nd cousin or something...

hmmm... not sure if I said that right...

i used to watch it when i lived in South Africa. it's really cool.

One of my best friends is obsessed with that show...oh my word, it's amazing. Then again, she was obsessed with Get Smart and I Love Lucy for a little, I think.
Yeah, I have seen it obviously, and it is REALLY funny. It's a little like Diagnosis Murder but a lot more modern. It does have a bit of language and sometimes it can be inappropriate. Oh, yeah, Shawna does wear some slightly low cut tops too, nothing I'd call risque though.

I love that show. It *is* really funny and interesting, but I think it also somewhat realistically portrays what it's like for someone with OCD.

Poor Monk. He means well.
I really like the show. The one where he meets his brother and has to solve the case with the pies was brilliant. Then again, pretty much all the episodes are brilliant. To quote Gir:
"I love this show."

totally awsome indeed, i bought the first season of Monk, and turned down the LOTF trilogy

AHHH! I LOVE THAT SHOW!!! We used to watch it every time it came on until we got rid of that channel, along w/ many others. Tony Shaloub is prolly' my fav male actor--he is sooooo funny!!!

yep,

i jsut found out some bad news, Apparently Bitty Shram is leaving the cast of Monk, don't know why =(

i watch it every fri. night. i love it!

My favorite episode so far is the one, Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine.
Or something like that. so funny!!

my favorite is Mr. Monk on the airplane

sounds kinda like curious george huh?

Ha! I was watching taht on TV just a few minutes ago!

I love tony shaloub

Yeah, he's hilarious!

And the airplne one was really funny too!! ^_^

I also watch the show I like the one where he gets cured Oh, and I forget the episode... I just remember him throwing cough drops into a sick boys mouth because he didn't want to get close enough to actually touch him. that one was funny too.

Hate to gravedig. But I love this show.

Yes, though I think it went down hill a bit after the first season.

Yah monks new assistant is not cool.. I have seen every episode in the first three seasons! Such an awesome and funny show! Will have to see the fourth season when it comes out on dvd!

I recently got into this show. My dad and I watched the New Year's Day marathon on USA. ^^;; I think this show is incredibly creative, although there are a few episodes where I can see the plot a mile away, like the one about his wife--"Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk"--or the one about the chocolate bars. However, most of them are pretty challenging and creative. Definately one of my favorite shows now.

By the way, has anyone taken the "Are You Monkish?" quiz? I'm not Monkish in the least. XD

*gasp* Why have I not yet posted in this thread? O_O I've been watching Monk lots since Mom got it on DVD, and it's great!

Where's this quiz of which you speak, that I might take it myself?

Heh heh, I'm a little Monkish ^_^

I love the show myself, I was introduced to it about a year ago, and I'd really like to start collecting the DVDs... I'm also probably one of the rare few that actually likes Natalie... she's just adorable, and has anyone else noticed that whenever her daughter is around, she sort of stretches Monk into doing something he normally doesn't do? I mean really, he doesn't freak out half as much when she's around...

Monk is a great show. I think we've only had season one and two screened in Australia at insane times like 6:30pm! so I missed the majority of the 2nd season. I hope the dvds come cheap!

OMG! I love Monk!!!!!!!

I tested as a little monk-ish too.

I do enjoy the show. The idea of an OCD detective is certainly original. Obviously, they exaggerate things for comedic effect and whatnot. But well done.

Sankyuu, Ash-sensei.~ ^_^ Apparently I'm "a little more Monkish than most"...

A little monkish, I am.

My gosh, I LOVE this show. SO MUCH. It's the only TV show I really watch with any regularity . . .

P.S. I scored as a little Monk-ish.
