Monk (08/22)
A pretty solid episode. Was very funny to see "Mother" from Lucky playing the handyman part. The phone answering thing made me laugh my ass off.

Very good "season finale". I can't wait until Winter, when it returns.
I didn't quite get how the couple was able to figure out who was on the jury, though. I might not have been paying close enough attention, but I thought it would be pretty hard to figure out who served on a jury, especially six years ago.

I thought this was the weakest episode of the season. The bit with the handyman's head injury was sitcom slapstick at its worst and does not belong on a show like this.
That said, the strongest point of this show is the interaction between the four main characters. I really like the chemistry in all the one on one relationships.
Honk!

Given that Monk is a comedy, they get a little more leeway in some of the coincidences.
I really liked this episode and for once the subplot with the deputy-Mayor was actually interesting (unlike that Sharona's husband returning from a couple of weeks back.)
I liked the 'pipe-guy' - it was just slapstick, but nothing wrong with that once in a while.

I have to agree with Charlie Goose here. I didn't start watching the show until this season, and I love it. This was one of the lesser episodes I've seen. Monk was still entertaining, but everything else just didn't work for me. I agree with all of the spoilered points there... the
thing especially bugged me. It was GREAT as a running joke, though.
And the Kenny subplot just didn't interest me at all. Furthermore,
I like Sharona, but this subplot drew too much attention away from Monk and the main murder.

I enjoyed the episode. It's nice to see character development in a series. As for the dry cleaner's, didn't Monk say they were the best in town? One would assume other local people would use that dry-cleaner's service. And for Larry, when someone is focused on something (running for mayor), people often loose sight of what's important so he wasn't too forthright with Sharona.
Now, am I going crazy or did I see that the season finale was titled "Mr. Monk gets Married". I thought there was one week left of Monk. So sad. I'll enjoy the repeats though.

Odd. In both seasons of Monk, the finale has been just another episode. I would have expected him to have found Trudy's killer by now.

That might be a series finale-type episode, though. I dunno.

Solid episode, reminded me of Matlock. I liked the one from a couple of weeks ago, the one about Charona's sister in a play. Awesome. I've only seen 2/3 episodes so I have lots of catching up...

I think she's actually getting hotter as the series progresses.

Her clothes add a certain skank quality, this maybe why she gets all the actions.
