Anyone watch Monk?
New season premiered this weekend. I just watched the show. This is one of the best shows on TV, IMO.

1. That was a great episode.
Jason Alexander really cracked me up in it. :D

26. I was hysterical through most of it...
Jason Alexander was so over the top. Between smelling the dog and eating mud.

Awesome show.

While I miss Sharona, I think he and the new "handler" have a lot of chemistry.

25. "It's a Jungle Out There"

It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so
It's a jungle out there

That song fits the show so well, Randy Newman is a genius :)

8. i make it a point never to miss the opening song

...esp. when he jumps up on the table!

i do think the Sharona character was a perfect foil to Monk.

13. Me too
I tape them but I never zap through the opening credits. That would be too disrespectful to Randy.

9. I have seen them all
They show the reruns all the time on USA. Friday's episode has already been on 3 or 4 times. No need for the DVD. TIVO and tape them all.

28. The most recent season available

5. Not since they dropped Bitty Schram.
It was their chemistry that made it work. Now they're having to resort to "stealth casting" to stay interesting, which eventually did in Ally McBeal.

12. I understand
but I really like the new girl. The first episode she was in is one of my all time favorites. They go to a museum with one of those body parts exhibits and Monk freaks out and can't go into the large mouth.

21. i wondered that too

No Sharona — Bitty Schram leaves ‘Monk’
Sources say contract disputes may have led to her departure

27. That's what I heard
And I doubt they're going to save any money paying for people like Alexander, the way Ally McBeal did. Too bad--they both should have given in a little.

16. It's a great concept
and this week's episode was wonderful. I was waiting for them to have an episode with a really sloppy guy to drive Monk crazy.

22. I think Jason Alexander helps the "new direction" quite a bit.
But that new girl, I can do without--and not just because I miss Bitty. But this new girl was annoying in that sitcom, 2 guys a girl and pizza place (or whatever it was called), and she's annoying in this series. Well, just MHO...

24. I started to watch it
