I am still amazed that Monk at the time of my writing still has no rating while Psych a clone of Monk has a rating of 8.7 from 6000 votes. Both are USA TV shows, yet where I live in NZ, Psych is on Prime time while Monk has the ignominy of being in the afternoon on a weekend. What i like about this show is that the forensics are kept to the minimum or that they are stumped. I really can't stand the unrealistic sci-fi of CSI or its other clones.
This show uses much more observational detective work, the good old fashioned way. And the grand finale comes when Adrian Monk summarizes the Murder or when he finds the vital clue. Of course Monk's OCD gives a lot of light humour to this show, not demeaning but sympathetic. Like all good shows, it has its peak and that was its first few seasons and when Sharona left, I didn't enjoy it that much. But I am giving this rating on the basis of those good seasons
score 10/10
