Monk is one of the most intelligent shows out there.

Adrian Monk.....the real O.C.D. I was introduced to Monk several years ago. On New Year's Day, USA Network always hosts a Monk marathon. The first episode I saw was "Mr.Monk and the Blackout." After seeing that episode, I've been in love with the show. I know that this rating system is based on people's opinions, and I respect that, but I believe that it deserves a higher average rating than an 8.2.

People complain that the show has lost some of its magic, and that it's more of a sit-com now than an intelligent mystery show. Well, I agree. Maybe the mysteries aren't as ingenious as they were at the beginning, but there's a reason for that: there are only so many ways to kill someone in a "clever" way. I think the writing staff should all be given some form of gratitude for all the witty little Monkisms they have established over the course of the show. I give Monk a 10/10 (and not just because that's his favorite number.)

score 9/10
