- TriviaOn March 13, 2023, Tony Shaloub announced during an interview that there will be a reunion movie and shooting is scheduled to begin in May 2023. It will address Monk's life after the pandemic. Monk in Quarantine (Mr Monk Shelters in Place) was a timely, caring and utterly hilarious short, showing a snapshot of Monk coping with the pandemic, and his friends trying to cope with his plague-averse hygiene excesses. (Still available on YouTube.)

Featured review
Mystery/Comedy...who knew?
I used to watch Murder She Wrote with my parents, but I never really got into the stories. Mysteries just weren't my thing back then. Then, a few weeks ago, my parents introduced me to this show on USA network about a neurotic detective. So I watched it and after one episode I had a new favorite show.
Adrian Monk is a detective with an obsessive compulsive disorder that apparently enhances his perception skills. Most of his friends at the station think he's just weird.
Tony Shalhoub portrays the nutty sleuth. Before this, I did not know that Tony could act...well. I had only ever seen him in Men in Black as Jeeves. But a role like Monk proves to me that Tony can carry a story.
But it's the humor in the show that keeps the show entertaining. If the jokes and zingers weren't there, Monk would probably be just another boring mystery where I'm trying, futilely, to solve the case before the hero. So, thank you Tony Shalhoub for making mysteries fun.
If you're a mystery fan, a comedy fan, or a combination of the two, you will love Adrian Monk.
