Monk solved the man vs bear question… s8 ep 12

Spoiler if you haven’t seen it all the way through.

There’s this meme/discussion going around instagram and tiktok about if you rather meet a random man in the forest or a bear and in s8 e12 monk brings great evidence that the bear is the better option. Lol

In the episode they go camping and they encounter two murder suspects (both men) with shot guns and a bear. Monk was able to “bore the bear away”. While on the other hand, disher had to head on confront and disarm one of the men, take his shot gun and threaten the other one.

I just thought it was funny how on point it was. Monk’s cases keeping up with the trends.

Sharona and the men

Can someone explain to me why Sharona is always so desperatly thirsty and has absolutely zero appreciation for men? All it takes is for a cute man to give her a little attention - bang, she's smitten and wraps herself around his finger like an idiot. Monk immediately exposes the guys as losers, but she just never learns from it. Whyyyy woman?

The fires in Monk

Has anyone noticed that when a fire is mentioned in passing, it's always connected to the crime somehow? I'm in season 5, and there have been 2: "Mr Monk can't see a thing" and "Mr Monk and the big game."

Peacock Changed the Theme Song and Intro Sequence!

I just started a rewatch on Peacock last night and need to report to you all that they have created a new intro sequence! It uses the 2nd/Randy Newman theme song starting at Season 1, Episode 1! AND even it still ends with adjusting the 3rd umbrella, they edited in a new sequence of scenes for this! BLASPHEMY!!!

Please explain this about the finale

So I just finished watching the series and I don't understand one thing about Trudy's murder. Who was the six fingered man? I feel like it was such an important clue earlier on in the series but at the end it actually wasn't addressed at all. I'm lost, please help!

Fav quotes

‘See you in Hell, Harold’

‘We went all the way’

And that little ‘yell’ Monk gives when he realises he’s been drinking ‘foot wine’ all these years.

I’m watching Psych for the first time and I find it a little more complex than Monk

As I say in the title. I’m watching Psych, which is kinda the small brother of Monk, for the first time and I cannot help to find each episode’s plot a little all over the place. I used the word complex but maybe messy is more accurate, what I mean with this is that I feel with Monk you can watch an episode and just be relax knowing the storyline follow a straight line, but with Psych I don’t know why I feel there are many storylines in one episode following different perspectives of either the same case or two cases connected which is overwhelming sometimes. I feel like if I go to the restroom for two minutes I will lose the storyline and just be confused with what they’re doing at the moment.

I’m just on season one, maybe I’ll get used to the pace but as for now that’s how I feel. Am I the only one to feel this way?

It might be the best series I ever saw

A month ago I asked this sub if it was worth watching the show after Sharona left.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monk/s/AVmrBRtJeU

I understand why I got downvoted back then. Fuck me.

I just finished the last episode of the show and I am in awe.

It was so good. Great characters and characters developments. Great plot, interesting, with a lot of humor, suspense. I am SOOOO HAPPY of how the show ended. Like wow. I cried, I smiled, I laughed, I got tense and stressed out, and then pure joy.

I liked this series so freaking much. Tony Shaloub is terrific in his role. I love how his character is in touch with his emotions, like every man should.

If only I could tell my younger self who just watched some episodes during the late afternoons after school to watch the whole show, I would do it.

This show gave me hope. This show made me dream. I swear.

I have not spend such a good movie/tv show night in a while. I am so happy.

But lmao now I finished watching the show, what I am supposed to with my life ???

(Too bad Tony Shaloub is old, if he was young I would ask him to be my date. He is totally my type. I've been attracted to him since the beginning of the series... LMAO so cute and grrrr 🥵 in his little police uniform !)

Location questions - Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine

Does anyone know where they filmed the restaurant - 0:00 in this video?

Also, the street where he's driving? 2:11

And finally, the hotel/motel with the pool? (not in this video)

Clips from Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine

Thanks.

Anyone tired of monk's obsession with Trudy?

After a while it's less sad and romantic and more just very obvious that Adrian Monk is either incapable or unwilling to get help... not to mention that the show needs to find a new "engine" for the show besides Monk's grief and idolization of Trudy as a perfect person. the scenes with "ghost trudy" are so corny sometimes.

(currently I'm on Season 4)

Sharona Replaced By Natalie

So I’m going through the show for the first time and was pretty stunned that Sharona was literally the second most important character on the entire show at the end of one episode…and the very next scene in the following episode, she’s gone with nary an explanation beyond Monk talking about it with his therapist for two minutes. That’s all the respect not only the character, but the actress gets?? Maybe she will pop back up later, I’m only a little over halfway through. But that was really jarring and frankly, disappointing.

But that’s enough bitching. Y’all probably have heard it before and I’m new to the sub. But what I wanna get a feel for, is I was trying to look up exactly what happened and I get a mixed bag. Some say she didn’t get a raise along with her male castmates, demanded one and then got fired for being so “bold” as to ask to be treated as equal. While others say that while she got along great with Tony, she was really difficult to work with so they got rid of her to keep the peace. And yet others say that it was a combination of things but ultimately was amicable on each end. Can anyone clear it up for me please?

No matter what the reason was, it still feels like she got treated like crap. Hope that’s not the case but who knows these days? Some aspects of life, humanity has evolved and others have regressed. I see no reason she should’ve been paid less than her peers(if that’s the case) back then or now. 🤷‍♂️

She's The Guy

I was prepping some flowers for my ancestor altar. One broke off from the stem and, when I looked at it, I couldn't help but think of the bad girlfriend, lolsob. Same color and everything.

Poor Stottlemeyer...🥺🥺🥺

This show happened during my twenties. I just binged it and I love/hate how much I relate to the character of Monk.

It is a genuinely good show. It has an amount of bad episodes but the good ones make up for it. Even with the relation I feel to Monk I believe this show works because it is basically a detective comedy that knows how to deal with dark and deep emotions.

I only make this post because I enjoyed this show enough that I was compelled to say something. That is all.

Natalie being pretty irresponsible this episode. S4xe10

Spoilers ahead: Just finished watching "Mr. Monk goes to a Fashion Show", fun episode as usual however the drama between Natalie and Julie was so contrived. The entire conflict at the end wouldn't have happened if she had told her daughter that the Julian was the killer. It is just so irresponsible whe. Natalie is more responsible than that. She even tries to blame Julie as the badguy. The rest of the episode was fine, although the way Julian scouted Julie was kind of creepy. Great episode all around though, and the models were pretty great. Munk figuring out there were two criminals was also a nice change of pace.

At what season do you understand the concept of the show?

I’m watching Monk for the first time and I’ve just been binge watching it. I’m now at season 5 episode 12 and I’ve just realized that every episode title is a fear and he faces them in every episode. That’s the whole character arc for Adrian through the serie! At what season did you see that too? I’m curious! Please be kind 😁

Natalie or Sharona

Is it me or do I think Natalie was better for Monk than Sharona was. He did a lot of new things while he was with her yk. Trust me I love love love Sharona but Natalie was very free with him and a lot of new things happened with her. Maybe he was just in a better place to try new things with Natalie but regardless Natalie was better. So Natalie or Sharona?
