 A
Bit About the Show:
The
Synopsis (is mine), the bios below are from the
USA
Network's Official Monk Page and the filmographies
are
from various sources.
Airtimes

The NewVI, Vancouver, Fridays at 9PM
The
series centers around Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) a fairly
prominent law enforcement
officer with the San Francisco Police
Department, his world turned upside down when his wife dies under mysterious circumstances in what appears to be a car bombing. From that moment on Adrian's life changes. Suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) - Adrian has phobias real or otherwise to everything from germs, heights to the strange affliction to milk.
With
the assistance of his personal nurse, Sharona Fleming
(Bitty
Schram) and his dedicated psychiatrist, Dr. Kroeger - Adrian hopes
in
time he will be reinstated with the force, but it looks like a long
hard
road
ahead of him, as every time he makes progress, he suffers
setbacks
right along with them.
Yet,
he manages to assist his ex-boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer
(Ted Levine) of the
SFPD in solving murders that the police
themselves have been left stumped by. With meticulous attention to detail, he is able to step into the shoes of the criminal and track them down, only problem is - he has trouble apprehending them at times. It's enough to leave Stottlemeyer indebted to him, and he often helps in cases.
There
are only two passions in Adrian's life, trying to find out what
happened to his wife
Trudy and getting back on the force - but as
long as the hurdle of his OCD stands in his way - it's a long road to get there.
As
serious as the subject matter sounds, Tony Shalhoub does a
marvelous job of making
Adrian Monk's plight at times seem
humourous and sympathetic, that's why this site was created - hope you like your stay!
