Summary: A Worthwhile Purchase
Review: I throughly enjoyed this series of Monk. It is definitely a purchase you won't regret. Monk is both pathetic and comical at the same time. And every episode is equally intriguing, guaranteeing that there is not a moment of boredom. So when asked which is my favorite episode, I really can't answer that. Each episode is nice in its own way.
Tony Shalhoub plays the part of Monk so well and he is just so 'lovable.' Sharona too is such a good combination with Monk.
I definitely want to see Monk - Season 2!

Summary: Finally, more Monk!!
Review: I was wondering when they were going to be smart enough to create a box set of this wonderful show and now, they finally have. I was really happy to find this out. Monk is a great show and Tony Shalhoub is excellent. There couldn't be any better casting than him. I don't have any bad things to say about the show, I would recommend this. Buy it, watch it..love it.

Summary: Yay for MONK!
Review: I will admit it, right at the beginning, that it would be very difficult to disappoint me with anything MONK-related. Nevertheless, this DVD set of the first season is so entertaining and interesting that I was glued to the set for hours. As a collector of all-things MONK, I was ecstatic to receive 2 shows (Marathon Man and Red-Headed Stranger) that I had never seen before. The additional featurettes were excellent and I even learned some new things about MONK and OCD I never knew before. All the MONK characters are so excellent and the shows so well-written that they can be watched again and again. Yay Tony Shalhoub (he is great in EVERYTHING he does) and YAY MONK

Summary: A Monk Fan Must Have
Review: I've only been a Monk fan for a year, but I've already fallen in love with the show. It's the perfect show for anyone. It's about an obsessive compulsive detective who's disorder actually helps him solve cases. However he still has trouble with every day things such as shaking people's hands.The dvd contains the first season along with the pilot episode and a selection of bonus material. This dvd set saves you the trouble of searching for the episode on your vhs tape of the episode. And when buying this set you'll even get your very own Monk hand gel for the "obsessive compulsive fan". I strongly suggest buying this dvd collection of America's number one television show!

Summary: One of my favorite shows!!!
Review: Meet Adrian Monk ( Tony Schloub). He is a man who has a countless number of phobias with being afraid of everything from heights and germs to milk. Adrian is also the greatest private detective around with a photographic memory and such a great eye for detail that it is almost creepy. As Adrian says, "it's a gift and a curse". Adrian used to be a homocide detective for the San Francisco Police Department, until his wife Trudy was killed in a car bomb. Three years have passed since, and Adrian's fears have made it impossible to be on the force. Adrian is now a private consultant for the department and assists Captain Leland Stottlemeyer ( Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford). Also along for the ride is Monk's nurse/personal assitant Sherona Flemming ( Bitty Schram)who keeps Monk in line and helps him with each case. If you were to describe private detective Adrian Monk, it would probably be along the lines of "Sherlock Holmes being afraid of everything". This is what makes "Monk" one of the best shows that is currently on television. It is hard to classify what type of show Monk really is. Some people including myself watch the show for the cases that Monk solves. Each case is very unpredictable and you actually have a great time trying to solve the case before Monk does. Others watch the show because it tends to be quite funny at times. Tomy Schloub is an amazing actor and is extremely versatile. He made a name for himself playing the character Antonio on the show "Wings". He brings the same comic genius to the character Adrian Monk. Bitty Schram is also brilliant as Sherona. Watching her take care of Monk is hilarious. They almost appear to be like the "Odd Couple" at times. Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stratford are excellent as well. Overall, "Monk" is one of my all time favorite shows. The actors involved are superb, each case is completely unpredictable, and the laughs are non stop. All I can say, is that it is about time that Monk is coming to DVD. The 13 episode first season is great from start to finish, and it deserves the DVD treatment. There is no word on what the extras will be yet, but the show is worth owning just for the episodes alone. A huge bonus is the fact that there is no commercial interruption!!

Summary: Solving crime the fun way
Review: Monk doesn't have the gloomy feel that dominates most murder thrillers. What we've is an funny man with some real problem-solving talents, making criminals pay for what they've done. The episodes are witty, and the plots brilliant. But if these are still not enough, watching Monk a game of Clue without a throw of the dice should make your money worth. I can't wait for this DVD.

Summary: The best detective show ever!
Review: Monk is a detective show, yet it is really funny. Adrian Monk is a "defective detective" who is afraid of germs, milk, large crowds, and pretty much everything. But he is able to figure out even some of the wierdest murders. There's nothing that can stump him. The first season is great but the 2nd and 3rd are better because Monk is more obsessive compulsive in those episodes which makes it more funnier of course. Here are the episodes from the first season:
Disc 1:
-Mr. Monk and the Candidate(two-hour pilot)
-Mr. Monk Meets the Psychic
-Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale
Disc 2:
-Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival
-Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum
-Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger
Disc 3:
-Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
-Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man
-Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation
Disc 4:
-Mr. Monk and the Earthquake
-Mr. Monk Meets the Red-Headed Stranger
-Mr. Monk and the Airplane
Special Features:
-Mr. Monk and His Origins
-Mr. Monk and His O.C.D.
-Mr. Monk and His Fellow Sufferers
-Mr. Monk and His Emmy Award-Winning Performace
-Mr. Monk and His Partners In Crime
Now I can't wait to get Season 2 which comes out January 11. Also, Season 4 starts Friday, January 21.

Summary: A Great Character!
Review: Monk is a great show that deftly combines suspense with humor. Monk played by Tony Shalhoub is a great character that is phobic about just everything. Despite this he has an uncanny ability to see things others don't in order to solve murders.
I highly recommned this DVD set. It will be well worth the cost.

Summary: The perfect item for the obsessive compulsive fan....
Review: Monk is about a man named Adrian Monk, who is a private detective that has a disability, he is obsessive about anything, not to mention that he is afraid of practically anything.
He was at first a cop himself, however his wife was murdered in a car bomb that took place four years before the actuall time in the series takes place. It is the only mystery that Monk cant solve and because of that and the loss of his wife, he is forced to leave the force and get help.
But the series is far from depressing. Monk actually takes part in some of the most bizarre murders in San Francisco's history [Where the series takes place] whenever the police are stumped. He goes from place to place with his nurse and good friend, Sharona Flemming, as he questions the suspects.
In the end of each episode, he manages to prove the guilty murderer why and how he or she, or sometimes both, did the crime. And each time he solves it the ending is still surprising and has lots of twists that all tie in the weird clues that Monk finds in the beginning and middle of each episode.
The set includes four DVDs with 3 episodes each:
Disk one: Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Mr. Monk meets the psychic, Mr. Monk meets Dale the whale.
Disk two: Mr. Monk goes to the carnival, Mr. Monk goes to the asylum, Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger.
Disk three: Mr. Monk and the other woman, Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man, Mr. Monk takes the vacation.
Disk four: Mr. Monk and the Earthquake, Mr. Monk meets the Red Headed stranger [Special guest Willie Nelson], and Mr. Monk and the airplane.
Each episode is about 45 minutes, besides the opening which is about an hour and a half. Each mystery is as bizarre as the next:
From a billionaire killed after trying to mug a couple, to an 800 pound man accused of murder despite the fact he cant even fit through his door. And even to where Monk finds a crime scene that some cops are calling, "The cleanest crime scene ever." And one includes Willie Nelson being accused of murder.
Each episode will have you guessing if you havent seen them already, so go out and try to solve it before Monk can!
