Best moment of the show was when there was a garbage strike and Monk was going crazier than normal. He cooked up a theory and tried to have Alice Cooper convicted of the murder. Alice guest starred of course.

I hope this doesn’t turn “pulling a rufus” into an internet euphemism for a lurid activity.

I’m gonna’ pull a “Rufus” here and admit that despite this show running for approximately eleven million years, and being insanely popular and raved about by pretty much all vertebrates, and all my friends in addition, I’ve never seen it.

I’ve tried watching it on occasion – certainly the premise sounded good, and I like Tony Shalhoub – but I just tended to drift off or fall asleep or wander off to play guitar and write songs or whatever. Ultimately I blame this on the absence of any ray guns, aliens, or space ships in the show.

I’m shallow like that.

Without Monk, no PSYCH, no BURN NOTICE.

Well said JFN. It was one of my favorites, and I always loved the subtle touches, both in characterizations and plot development. (Did you notice how, once Trudy’s killer is dispatched, he put on a different shirt?) Monk was, in a way, as self-centered as person could be, but he would exhibit courage and selflessness when it was needed most.

Many differences between Monk and Columbo of course, but the common threads – quirky brilliance, misleadingly unassuming personas and wit – run through both.

Alas, I lost it when I lost cable, but it was a great show. On a personal level, I (and I’m not joking) appreciated the sympathetic portrayal of a character with a personality disorder.

Loved that show. Always will.
