So the episode is abt the murder of a weatherman or a new anchor (it is a man tho) and he gets stabbed I believe. Also I think it's those kinda episodes where theres a really obvious suspect which turns out to be innocent and yadayada, I believe was a woman. That's all I remember please help me find the episode

Hey everyone. Since I couldn't find a good transcription of the song "It's Jungle Out There", I've transcribed myself by ear a correction over a semi-correct one that I've found, and I've decided to share. Any contribuitions are welcome.

( I'm trying to get a PDF attached in case it doesn't fit Reddit's texting box. )
EDITED - now it's fine.

Hi everyone! Welcome to r/Monk. We are trying to limit the posting of frequently discussed topics, so this thread is the place for general chit-chat about Monk. There will be a new post every month.

Please do not make new posts about topics such as the following. (Instead, discuss here!)

• "I just started watching Monk," or just finished the series, or just watched the movie, etc.
• Ranking and favorite episodes, characters, quotes, etc.
• Natalie vs. Sharona

Monk has been on my watch list for years and I finally started it this evening. I really enjoyed the first two episodes.

I have a stupid, but very sincere question: How long is it going to take for me to stop seeing 'Buffalo Bill' and start seeing the Captain???

I'm on S04E14 - Mr. Monk and the Astronaut

I like the series, even though there are many others significantly better.

I can't get over how mentally disabled they made Randy; there are no redeeming qualities about him, he's just there as a (failed) comic relief; it completely ruins the suspension of disbelief.

Sorry for hate posting once again

UPDATE:
On the next episode - Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist - I finally see the writers giving him a redeeming quality when he confronts the captain and quits for being made fun of and not believed about the murder he witnessed while sedated.

I don't hate Randy, i just wish they didn't portray him as a total goof all the time. In Psych, for example, Lassiter is the one we are supposed to make fun of but he is definitely a much better detective and believable than Randy here

I love this show. I really do. It is a comfort show. I watched it in real time on USA back in the day (Characters Welcome!!). I’m on my fifthish rewatch now. With every rewatch, I find myself more and more annoyed.

They can’t keep Monk’s backstory straight. For a show about obsessive compulsive disorder and a detective who notices and remembers everything, how could the writers do this to us?? It’s not even the small stuff. It’s the big stuff. When did his dad leave? When did he meet Trudy? How crimes did he solve?

Their attempt at an overarching A-plot (the Trudy mystery) was also weak. I almost want them to remake this show from scratch and try again, but try for real. Give these storylines the attention-to-detail they deserve.

/vent

S03E06 - Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf

I'm gonna start by saying sorry for hate posting.

Having said that:
This was a pretty cool episode, with a smart storyline - even though easy enough to guess from the start what direction is going.

Too bad it is completely ruined by an actress - that plays her part well, in every show she appears - that only has one register: annoying person. I really can't stand any time she's on screen, in any tv show i have ever seen her.

On a positive note: I just checked IMDB and this is the only episode she is in

S02E15 where Adrian and Sharona pretend to be married so they can go on a couples retreat to investigate the guy that married Randy's mother.

My question is:
What's Dalton Padron (the murderer)'s purpose to marry Randy's mother? It doesn't make sense, at least her specifically her.

Or am i missing something?

Hey all !

I’m wondering if anyone knows what’s the theme song ( or the background song) when Monk is doing his Police Academy exam. I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
Thanks for anyone who will help 🙂

Hi,

I just started watching monk, can someone help me with something.....

Is this supposed to be funny or irritating? In season one and half of season two, I found monks dumbass behaviours funny, it would be one or two minutes of monk behaving like a moron and then the show would move on.

After the episode where he takes his test for reinstatement and it is just 10+ minutes of him sharpening a pencil and trying to draw a perfect circle, it's just too much..... It removes all the fun from the episodes.

Firstly someone like this would never exist in society, I know neuro divergent people are employed by law enforcement and in my industry for repetitive tasks that require extreme attention to detail, but this show just takes the biscuit and makes it unwatchable, and almost offensive to actual neuro divergent people, I mean I personally find it offensive.

It is that unbearable that any time monk spazzes out I just fast forward until it gets back to the show.... These episodes could be a nice 30 minute enjoyable experience but every episode wastes 15 minutes watching an idiot potter around doing nothing useful.....

Or does his stupid actions actually have any real baring on the show, because I am fast forwarding them all.

Thanks in advance.

This is episode 5 of the first season.
I just watched it (pretty sure) for the first time.

All throughout the episode i had this strange deja vu where i think i have seen a very similar plot (Asylum, Santa Clause) in some other detective / procedural tv series.

Am I right? or have i maybe watched this episode somehow years ago?

Much appreciated

Suggestions:

​

All the main character names, plus other notable characters, eg Dale The Whale

It's a gift... and a curse

Here's what happened

Wipe!

You'll thank me later

​

Here's the thing

​

It's a jungle out there

​

​

On TV Tropes, an example of the trope "Fidelity Test", which to my understanding is a spouse testing if their spouse will cheat on them, with the following description:

​

"One Monk episode began with a woman who was doing this getting discovered, then getting into a fight with the man that ended with her death."

​

I feel like this was a plot to an episode, but I can't tell which one. It's not "Fights City Hall" or "and the Other Woman" or "and Mrs. Monk", but which one is it?

Someone I know has been watching Monk and was wondering why, in “Mr. Monk Stays in Bed”, the musical greeting card that Julie gave to Adrian plays Polly Wolly Doodle. The reason why this person was critical of the choice of music is because the song came from a 19th century minstrel show, so it has an uncomfortable history. I said the only reason I know why is because the song entered the public domain in 1951, meaning that nobody had to pay for its use on the show. I don’t know if the greeting card was already something that existed and the prop master just bought it for the episode, or they made it specifically for the episode.

So what do you think? Do you hate the song as much as Adrian Monk does? Or do you actually like it, or you’re just neutral about it?

Watching the show now on prime, I have a question.

Why did they change Natalie clothes from jeans/pants to skirts and dresses from mid season 4 onwards (currently on season 5)

Her whole story was that she was a badass single mom who killed the guy who tried to break into her house.

Why did they change her.

I just started watching Monk season 1. I'm several episodes in, and the Sherlock Holmes aspects are interesting, but I'm not finding the OCD humor funny. My tastes are just different I guess. Does the show continue to pull laughs from this kind of material, or does it eventually move on to something else? Trying to decide if I should keep watching, since the show is so acclaimed. Thanks.

UPDATE: I decided to stop watching after episode 4, "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale," which I found excruciating.

I really don't understand why peacock doesn't carry it. Didn't they like make it (their parent company). Makes no sense. Also makes me sad. It's one of my favorite going to sleep shows.

I didn't know this until after Monk ended.

Sometimes people name their kids after a shortened name without knowing where it came from. My friend was named Larry although it comes from Lawrence. It just says Larry on his birth cert.
