"What is a Monk Marathon" ~

Hi, Grainne! Monk is a show on the USA channel. It started in '02. It's about a "obsessive-compulsive" detective named Monk. I just started watching last summer so the marathons are a blessing to catch up on shows. I saw LOTS of ads for it but didn't think I'd like it, even though mysteries are my thing. But I happened to catch a show last summer and was hooked. The actor is wonderful and displays his quirks with humor as well as in a touching way. He has a full-time companion/nurse and I love their interactions. I just found out she is not returning, though, so I have my fingers crossed the new actress fits in. If you enjoy quirky humor with a dash of murder mystery, you might enjoy it. It's a quite "clean" show and even the women wear clothes. :) Monk has a big thing about germs (which makes him wise, not crazy, imo), and a favorite exchange of mine was when he felt himself drawn to a woman on the show. His wife was murdered and he still considers himself married and never dates, so it was an event to feel drawn to her. Anyway, at the end of the show..

Her, with a little smile - "if I didn't have germs I'd kiss you".

Monk - "If you didn't have germs I'd let you"

It's an hour I find myself looking forward to, which is the best we can ask in entertainment.
