DVD Reviews of Monk - Season One
DVD Review: My Monk
Summary: 5 Stars
The Monk DVD that I received is GREAT!! I received it on time. I had purchased the DVD from a chain of stores but unfortunately it got lost and I had to replace it. That's when I went on Amazon to repurchase the DVD.. and got it for HALF THE PRICE!!I AM SO HAPPY I DID.. I have recieved all 6 season from Amazon. I will NO LONGER purchase my DVD's from a chain of stores..Thanks Amazon :)DVD Review: Superb Shaloub
Summary: 5 Stars
Tony Shaloub brings Adrian Monk, a brilliant former police detective, to life with his performances of the OCD investigator and received a well deserved Emmy for his role.
The scripts are well written with a pefect mix of humor and mystery combined and seems more of a throwback type of series, think of mixing of Murder She Wrote with Columbo bought up to date - no over the top violence, effects or graphics just a mystery solving series.
Shaloub is surrounded by a very good cast, including his nurse and psyhciatrist.
Monk is a breath of fresh air in the crime/mystery genre on television and I highly recommend it.
DVD Review: Monk is/was the best show I have ever seen.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this show. It has everything and Tony Shaloub and Bitty Schram are simply brilliant. I was sad to see sharona go and the show managed to stay pretty good till the 5th season. Now, it is almost a parody....So sad, but seasons 1 and 2 are a knock out!DVD Review: Great TV Detective Series
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful series. Monk to me is just like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, but turned modern. Poirot was once a policeman, like Monk, before he became a private detective. Poirot has a lot of the same quirks as Monk, or I should say Monk has a lot of the same quirks as Poirot. The Monk stories are interesting though not nearly as complex as Agatha Christie's writings. Another thing I like about this series is that it is only mildly violent with no adults-only scenes, so we can watch this as a family. We are enjoying having this first season as part of our dvd collection. DVD Review: Why did I wait so long?
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a great cast, an interesting concept, and a treatment of OCDs that is not exploitative or cruel. And yet I waited this long to watch the first season! Go figure.
Tony Shalhoub is note-perfect as the title character, whom you can't help but feel sorry for since the murder of his beloved wife. This trauma apparently exacerbated the already existent OCDs, requiring his assistant, played by the wonderful Bitty Schram, to accompany him almost everywhere.
Ted Levine does a fine job as well, playing Monk's police chief. He is often taken aback by the troubled detective's behavior but also knows that nobody can solve a case better than Monk can.
I have just started the second season, and it looks very promising as well.
Description of Monk - Season One
He s ingenious he s phobic he s obsessive-compulsive. Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Tony Shalhoub is a riot (TV Guide) in Monk the show that critics are praising as fresh exciting and utterly original. (Chicago Tribune)Monk s hilarious offbeat antics have made him unfit for duty but he s back as a police consultant to help out on their most baffling cases. The brilliant but neurotic Monk is now fighting crime as well as his abnormal fears of germs cars heights crowds and virtually everything else known to man in the best detective show to come along in decades. (NY Post) Nothing on TV generated more fun than this (LA Times) and now you can enjoy the entire first season of Monk on DVD.System Requirements: Running Time 564 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:?025192304828 Manufacturer No:?23048The ranks of fictional genius gumshoes were joined by former San Francisco detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) in the summer of 2002, and he is indeed a welcome addition. Cable channel USA Network introduced Monk, a bright comedy-drama series about an obsessive-compulsive sleuth drummed out of police work following the murder of his wife and a subsequent spike in his overwhelming neuroses. Once a rising star in the homicide department, the twitchy savant is still valuable to Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), who reluctantly calls on Monk to solve difficult, high-profile murders of judges, billionaires, police informants, and famous attorneys. Monk's talent for finding clues and seeing the big picture in criminal investigations makes him a force to reckon with, but his many phobias (germs, heights, asymmetry, and much, much else) aggravate Stottlemeyer and make Monk completely dependent on a long-suffering assistant, Sharona (Bitty Schram), a single mom who functions as Dr. Watson to Monk's Sherlock Holmes.
Each of the 12 episodes included in Monk: The Complete First Season is a delightful mix of clever whodunit puzzler, neurotic schtick, and deepening relationships. Among the latter, the bond between Monk and Sharona is most touching, as the platonic friends, sometimes aghast at how involved they are in each other's lives, surprise themselves with the breadth of their trust and commitment. In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum," Monk is forced into a stay at a mental hospital, where a murderer has convinced him he's crazy; it's Sharona who makes her boss realize he's not. In "Mr. Monk and the Earthquake," it's Monk who rushes to Sharona's aid when he deduces that a lying friend is about to kill her. In almost every episode, Monk is confronted with a phobic limitation he must overcome in order to save the day. The question is whether he will heal enough, one day, to re-join his old squad. For the sake of Monk's winning formula and fans, one has to hope such good news never comes to pass. --Tom Keogh
