    TV series "Monk" on DVD

    The DVD box for this series states by the Chicago Tribune......"Fresh, exciting and utterly original"

    Well, I don't know about that. If you've watched the series "Matlock" or "Columbo" etc you've seen this kinda' detective stuff before many times. The only difference really is this guy's got the most serious case of OCD compulsion I've ever seen and to be honest, it's a tad bit irritating. It reminds me of the movie "Rain Man" in many ways. To be honest, I didn't care for the film because I found the Autistic, compulsive man (Hoffman) too irritating to bare!. I find myself equally irritated watching this series. However, I am floored by his brilliance at the same time!!??. I dunno.......I'm on disc# 3 of the first season and I'm not really ready to poop out on it yet so we'll see.

    Right now, I'm entertained enough to keep watching for awhile more but man.......I hope he gets a little better?????..........please???.

    It's one of my wife and I's favourite shows (we don't have too many shows that we like in common, but this one is among them). I'm a big fan of Tony Shaloub in everything I've seen him in, going back to the TV series Wings. He's hilarious as Tech Sgt. Chen in Galaxy Quest.

      Sadly, I walked away from this show yesterday after watching a few more episodes. It was getting a little silly. I've gone back to the 5th and final season of "Chuck".

        Watching more or watching less tv ?
        by George Bellefontaine
        This is for those of you who have not been avid tv watchers. I used to watch the news at 6, Larry King Live whenever he had interesting guests, and occasionally Biography. And that was it. But since the events of September 11, I find that I am watching more tv than usual.It's probably because I am still...

        24 - Season 3
        by EAmin
        Season 3 comes out on DVD on 12/7. It'll give new viewers interested in watching Season 4 (which starts in the U.S. on Jan. 9 on FOX) some time to catch up on the last three seasons. The quality of the S1 and S2 DVDs themselves are okay, but the entertainment value is top-notch. Season 2 is the best...
