    well this episoode had a couple laughs but it wasnt the best episode ever. monk remembering his birth was strange but this episode was much better than rapper. it was funny and had a good murder mystery. the nudists were funny and i did like monk tring to go blind. and now to use up the 100 word thing blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahmoreless

  • Did they change writers? I own the other seasons on DVD. Now I'm trying to decide if I even want to watch the rest of the season. Very sad.

    The reviewer who gave this a 2.5 was being generous. It used to be that Monk was a great detective who had quirks. In this season he has become a person with ridiculous quirks, who happens to be a mediocre detective. Randy also has become absurd in the last 2 episodes. This used to be a good show. Did they change writers? I own the other seasons on DVD. Now I'm trying to decide if I even want to watch the rest of the season. Very sad.moreless

    When I wrote my review about the rapper episode, people told me that I should be mentioning more about what I didn't like, and not just have a fit like I did! Indeed a very good point, but there was nothing specific in that episode that I didn't like. It is the whole descent from excellence to total stupidity that I've seen happen to this show, starting from mid Season 3 and going downhill ever since. The rapper episode was just the absolute bottom.

    First of all, Monk's obsessiveness has become a "necessity", something that totally feels contrived, while it used to be original and "real". Second, there is absolutely no mystery in most of the episodes. We used to be glued to our chairs to the very last second to find out who, and most importantly how they, did it. Not anymore. Then, where are all the sidestories? Where is Trudy and Monk's determination to solve her murder? Where is Monk's therapist? And the ones that are left, have become a complete ridicule of themselves. The captain used to be a man that you would respect. Now he is plain silly. And Randy? Randy was always the comic-relief, but there is a big difference between the good humor we used to see, and the moron that he has turned to.

    This episode however was fairly ok, especially when compared to everything else from S5&6. There was a pretty descent mystery. Monk's obsession didn't feel as forced as before and even the good doctor came back! I don't believe for a second that there's hope for this show, since apparently the writing team is not the same anymore, and the current one is plain useless, but at least this episode was not painful to watch. If the level is kept to what this episode set, then maybe the show can at least end with some dignity.

    Oh, and btw, WE GET IT. You are a cool and hip show that wants to appeal to the youngsters. Please stop this bombardment of "cool" terms like "gigs" and "pods". It's pathetic.moreless

    I really do love Monk and I thought this episode was one of the funnier ones in a while. Having Monk deal with a fear of nudity was a pretty funny concept and I'm actually surprised they haven't explored it before. I do, however, wish they would get back to some of the original themes of the show. Monk wanting to be a policeman again and wanting to find Trudy's killer gave some depth to his character and gave a reason as to why he was such a disaster. It also gave me empathy for him because I wanted him to achieve those goals. But, now the show seems to have shied away from that and it makes the show very shallow in comparison to what it used to be. Those issues were Monk's driving forces and now if he doesn't have those what does he have?moreless
