Of Recent Vintage: Monk (2002)

 Monk was not your average, ordinary crime drama.

Adrian Monk (Tony Shaloub, ex-Wings) was a respected police detective until his wife's death sent him into some serious trauma, triggering obsessive-compulsive disorder, and revealing several phobias. Determined to solve his wife's death, Monk becomes a private eye, which drives the series.

Over the course of seven years (2002-9), Monk won several Emmy & Golden Globe awards.

Full episodes, of course, are not available on YouTube, so we have a simple little sampler.


My folks were fans of the show. They were into quirky, oddball dramas like this.

Rating: A-.
