http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx We don’t watch MONK for the same reasons we watch CSI or HOMICIDE, or even THE SOPRANOS. We’re not looking for a fright or a gross-out or a deep thinker.  Heck, if you really consider it, the plots in a typical episode of MONK are about as complicated as — jinkies! — a SCOOBY-DOO adventure. No, to be perfectly honest with ourselves, we have to admit that we watch MONK to see Monk being … well … Monk-ish. After five seasons, one would think that this one-note gag of the anal-retentive, obsessive-compulsive pseudo-detective would have grown far too old and moldy, but Tony Shalhoub’s interpretation of the title character continues to evolve and impress. In fine form, the season six opener does not disappoint, and in fact, Mr. Shalhoub is almost upstaged as guest star Sarah Silverman reprises her role as Monk’s biggest fan (Marci Mave; she even goes so far as to recover his discarded clothing and wears it when he is forced to ‘hang out’ with her after she purchases him at a bachelor charity auction). Plot in a nutshell: Marci’s neighbor’s wife has been killed and Marci’s dog is to blame. Problem is, the murder happened days after she claims the dog was dead and buried. And, of course, only Monk can solve the case! en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx#1043 monk kicks ass it was funny it had us rolling on the floor Dlr072155 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx#1043 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 05:56:28 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx#1092 I REALLY LOVE TO WATCH WHAT HAPPEN TO"MONK" HE SHOWS THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO TRY THINGS THAT THEY ARE GOOD AT dorothy fugate http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/14/Monk--Mr.-Monk-and-his-Biggest-Fan.aspx#1092 Sat, 04 Aug 2007 20:54:54 GMT
