The opening scene works fine in B&W but the rest just looks dumb. But overall, a good episode, one of the better I've seen from this series lately.

Haven't seen the recent new MONK episodes in a long time, but this was silly FUN! Caught the colorized, then the B&W version.
-- "Your leper wasn't even a real leper. My leper was the real deal!"
-- At the doctor's office:
"Can I help you?"
Lt. Disher: "No, I'm just browsing."
Great chemistry between Howard and Shalhoub.

This was a ridiculous idea. Fake B&W vs. Real Color. Good job guys.
Fun episode though.

"Is there anyone else up there? Can you check?

I thought the episode/story itself was just 'okay'. It was much simpler than a lot of other episodes.
Hated the B/W and then color. I only watched the B&W because it came on first and it looked horrible. I'm sure the color had to have looked better. The idea itself was just dumb to me. Maybe they wanted to get more people watching... i dunno. Didn't even know about the 2 different versions till it came on.

I do think the scene of Monk hanging over the cliff edge worked in black and white, too. Other than that, though, I agree with everyone else -- this episode was clearly lit and shot for color and just doesn't work as well in black and white.
