  9.5 Superb

  This episode was great!! hide show

  This episode was awesome! I haven't laughed so much at Monk in a long, long time.
  
  I loved the first scene with Monk and Natalie discussing the parents that watched them. That scene was very funny. It played out well. By the time the people approached Monk and Natalie, they didn't even have to speak. It was great when Monk joined the cult. I loved seeing him act almost "normal". How ironic that it took joining a cult for Monk to get over some of his obsessive compulsive disorder.
  
  Howie Mandel was great. He had just the right amount of warmness and creepiness to play the cult leader. LOL
  
  My favorite part of the episode was when Natalie, Leland, Randy and Dr. Kroeger took turns trying to snap Monk out of his brainwashed state. Randy was gullible enough to get sucked in quickly. I could not stop laughing when I saw Randy sitting on the floor barechested, singing with Monk. That scene was so great!!
  
  The episode was wonderful. I am so glad that I have some new shows to watch. The writer's strike is downright depressing.
