I love this show. :). Ha. All of the Monk seasons are availible at amazon and at a very surprisingly affordable price, So I always buy my mom her Monk's here.

I buy used as much as possible and then sell them on eBay so the cost to me is very close to the auction cost. Mr. Free TV and now cable and satellite TV are nothing more than advertisements for TV shows to be purchased. For the most part, the evidence is there for all of us to figure out if we could put it together. There are few loose ends. It was not until I purchased the DVD that I found out how wonderful this series is.

Since libraries do not carry the latests TV DVDs, I buy the rest on Amazon or eBay. Sure beats paying a cable bill. Over the years I have caught a few minutes of an episode on free TV and when the commercial came on, I switched channels. The chemistry is just right among the characters to weave a fabric of entertainment from beginning to end. Monk is an endearing character.

1/2 the time Amazon is less expensive than eBay. Each episode, while each has the same theme of cracking an impossible case by a challenged ex-policeman, is fresh. What have I been watching for the last 10 years.Commercials. I go to the library and get the DVD free for the first season to find if I like it. Season 5 is as imaginative and charming as any I have seen and I have seen 1/2 of season 5 so far.

I've seen season 1,2,3,4,.6. I found this true of a number of TV series like "NYPD Blue" "Picket Fences" etc.

Monk was a nice gimmick for a while and great writing could have kept it afloat. The writing has become abysmal. By Monk I loved seasons 1& 2. It was not this silly in the first two seasons I'm sorry. Also the show got considerably sillier. Season 3 was pretty good as well, but not as good as the previous two.

Season 4 started to fall off. Stottlemeyer and Disher have become especially absurd when they could have been explored more as charaters. I just tinished the last episode and I am officially over "Monk". However this has not been the case whatsoever. It had humor, yes but it was fresh and the storylines took center stage and Monk was an interesting Character.

The writing on this show has gone so downhill it's not even funny. Season 5 has done it for me. My wife and I though there were at least 6 or 7 throw away episodes.

I gave this one star just to offset the rating a little. I have been a fan of Monk since the beginning. Season five consisted of recycled plots, recycled jokes and every character has become more of a caricature.

Really sad. Honestly I would have given 2 stars. My good ness, look at all the glowing reviews.

It has become a silly almost farcical satire.

I bought it because it was so many minutes of my favorite series but it was not worth the money. It had a repeated episode (Monk meets the Lepord).

It was not even that good of a story. The only saving factor was the Psyco bonus episode.

They wanted to show it in black and white and color what a waste. I hope season 6 is better.

In conclusion it is not worth the effort to buy or watch. this series was is appointing in many ways.

There was not that many episodes.

ARrived as described. I like "Monk" a lot and I enjoyed watching this season. Good purchase.
