I read Jeffrey Robinson's DVD review of Monk - Season Three at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=16682 and... I agree with almost all of what is written. Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine is my favorite episode. "The Monk" loses his powers of deduction by taking meds to become more normal. Instead, he becomes ultra-relaxed and ineffective. The transition from Sheronna to Natalie is handled more effectively than you might think possible and the strategy to introduce her mid-season (whether it was by choice or not) worked out for the best, even when watching on DVD. Monk is the greatest detective concept since Sherlock Holmes ... high praise.
