Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), the phobic private detective on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco police department, has his work--both professional and personal--cut out for him in Monk: Season Six. Typical of the long-running TV dramedy, Season Six doesn't cultivate any new story arcs played out over its 16 episodes. But Monk does get a little closer both to understanding himself and the mystery behind his wife Trudy's unsolved murder--the defining event that drove Monk into off-the-charts obsessive-compulsive behavior. The season opens with the enjoyable "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan," guest-starring Sarah Silverman as Marcy Maven, a largely benign stalker of Monk who annoys him and his long-suffering assistant, Natalie (Traylor Howard). When Marcy is accused of using her dog to murder a neighbor, however, Monk leaps to her rescue, endangering himself and Natalie. The episode is particularly noteworthy for a scene in which Monk reluctantly takes part in a go-on-a-date-with-a-studly-cop charity auction, and no one bids on him. (Except Marcy, of course.) "Mr. Monk and the Rapper" stars Snoop Dogg as a successful rap artist who hires Monk to prove he didn't murder a rival. Problem is, Monk actually believes Dogg's character did the misdeed. The story re-introduces Monk's neurotic tendency to blend in with stressful situations during a kind of mental blackout. Shalhoub is hilarious taking on hip-hop affectations in his language and manner, and he has the same chameleon-like problem in a later episode called "Mr. Monk Joins a Cult." In the latter, Monk infiltrates a religious cult under the sway of a charismatic leader (Howie Mandel) suspected of murder. But while investigating the alleged spiritual figure, Monk is persuaded by him to leave his life and join the group. Monk's psychiatrist, Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel), proves instrumental in helping Monk free himself from the cult, one of many services that makes Monk feel obliged to help Kroger when the shrink's son, Troy (Cody McMains), gets in trouble in "Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure." One of the more harrowing scenes in Season Six takes place in that story: Monk and Troy are buried alive in a car covered by a ton of gravel. "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa" finds Monk a pariah after being accused of wounding a seemingly friendly fellow tossing stuffed toys to people on the street. Finally, the two-part "Mr. Monk Is On the Run" finds Monk himself turned fugitive after he appears to have shot a man involved in Trudy's death. Pursued by a crooked lawman (Scott Glenn), Monk conspires with Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levin) to help him disappear, much to the distress of Natalie. --Tom Keogh

Season six gets better! January 6, 2009
Peter Finn (Sacramento, CA, USA)
I'm half way through season six of Monk and I'm impressed at how fresh the series is in it's sixth year. Season five was okay, but the stories in six are much improved, IMHO, and I am quite pleased!

Everyone's Favorite Obsessive-Compulsive Detective Returns to the Scene of the Crime for an Awesome 6th Season! December 5, 2008
Brian Campbell (Fort Worth, TX USA)

This is by far one of the best seasons of this incredibly awesome series to date! Adrian Monk (Tony Shaloub) continues to use his Sherlock Holmes-like abilities to solve interesting and often complex murder cases. His sharp eyes for detail and his deductive reasoning still continue to intrique his colleagues, his beautiful and long-suffering assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard), the straight-laced Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), and the always eager-to-please Lieutenant Randy Disher (Jason-Gray Stanford).
As the season opens, we see the defective detective being pursued once again by his overly-obsessed fan, Marci Maven (special guest star Sarah Silverman). This time, she needs Adrian's help in clearing her dog of a murder charge. Next, special guest star Snoop Dogg potrays a successful rap artist who needs Monk's help in clearing his name after he is accussed of killing a rival. As the season progresses, we continue to get an array of interesting mysteries, which include a murder at a nude beach, a shot Santa Claus, a possibly murderous girlfriend, and a cult that has more going than they let on. The season ends with the best season finale for this show and two of the best episodes ever! In this 2 parter, Monk is accussed of a murder and must quickly find the evidence that will prove his innonce. Ever since I got into this series, I had hoped for an episode like this. It's a beautiful mix of comedy, drama, and suspense, as the entire series has been.
By now, all of you Monk fans probably know that next season, the 8th overall, will be the last one. I will surely miss "Monk" when it is over. It is one of the best shows to come on television in a while. For all Monk fans out there, owning Season 6 is a must (along with all the other seasons). For those who have not yet discovered the show, this is a good place to start. Yes, I know its late in the series, but you can always catch up. Plus, each episode is pretty much independent, with a couple of exceptions. Here is a listing of all 16 episodes in this season, with a brief synopsis:
1. Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan: Monk and Natalie agree to help his overly-obsessed fan, Marci Maven (Sarah Silverman) clear her deceased dog of a murder charge.
2. Mr. Monk and the Rapper: Monk unwittingly agrees to help a sucessful rap artist (Snoop Dogg) clear his name in the murder of a rival rapper.
3. Mr. Monk and the Naked Man: Monk shudders at the thought of investigating a murder at a nude beach. Even though the man couldn't have done it, Monk's suspect is one of the regular nudists at the beach, and Natalie and Stottlemeyer try to help him see otherwise and help him get over his prejudice against nudists. Alfred Molina guest stars.
4. Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend: Monk's friendship with Captain Stottlemeyer is put to the ultimate test when he acusses his girlfriend (Sharon Lawrence) of murder.
5. Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees: Monk must prove a sports agent is guilty of murder and help Natalie's teenage daughter, Julie (Emmy Clarke) with her love life.
6. Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure: Monk and Natalie find themselves on quite an interesting outing when they help Dr. Kroeger's (Stanley Kamel) son, Troy, follow a treasure map.
7. Mr. Monk and the Daredevil: When Monk's rival, Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagely) is revealed to be the famous Frisco Fly, Monk is consumed with envy.
8. Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man: When a man he put away years ago is cleared by a new DNA test, Monk is consumed with guilt and tries to help him rebuild his life, until he realizes that maybe he was never wrong in the first place.
9. Mr. Monk Stays Up All Night: When he can't seem to sleep, Monk takes a walk around San Francisco one night and witnesses a murder. Stottlemeyer and Disher believe his insonmia has gotten the better of him, but Monk is determined to prove otherwise.
10. Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa: Monk becomes a social outcast after being acussed of shooting a seemingly harmless Santa Claus passing down stuffed teddy bears to kids from a roof. Can Monk prove what really happened on that roof in time for Christmas?
11. Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank: After Monk's safety deposit box is robbed,
he goes undercover as a security guard there to solve the case.
12. Mr. Monk and the Three Julies: Natalie is horrified when a rash of murders plague San Francisco that all involve women with the same name as her teenage daughter.
13. Mr. Monk Joins a Cult: Monk infiltrates a cult to solve a homicide, but ends up falling under their spell. Howie Mandell guest stars.
14. Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece: Monk learns that the world of art can be deadly after taking up painting as a hobby.
15. Mr. Monk Is on the Run, Part I: The first of this exciting 2 part season finale. Monk finally confronts the elusive six-fingered man he has been searching for, but he is soon murdered. A small town sheriff (Scott Glenn) arrives on the scene, acuesses Monk of being the triggerman and arrests him for murder. After escaping custody, Monk becomes a fugitive on the lamb.
16. Mr. Monk Is on the Run, Part II: While everyon mourns Monk's apparent "death", Monk works quickly with Stottlemeyer, Natalie, and Disher to uncover the truth that will clear his name. Natalie finally meets Monk's old archnemisis, Dale "The Whale" Biederbeck (Ray Porter).
