Welcome
to The Monk Fun Page An
almost totally safe and friendly
web experience*
This
site is dedicated to celebrating
the Emmy award winning USA series
Monk and Monk fandom. It's all
fun, games, questionable humor
and some news.
The page has been revamped a few
times so please check out the
navigation magnifying glasses
above.
If
you need more Monk than
this site can provide, you've
got a lot to choose from: let's
see... we've got the TV.com
Site, the Yahoo
Group and a bunch of others.
You can find some of the classier
ones in the MonkFans
Ring linked at the bottom
of this page. Not to mention,
(but I will) the USA
Network Official Monk Site,
which has a schedule, episode
guide, the best character blogs
on the internet, video interviews
and all sorts of other nifty stuff.
So take a look if you haven't
been there yet. You can also check
out the
Monk Fanseite, the German
"sister" site of The
Monk Fun Page. That's right, Monk
is an international phenomenon.
And a musical one as well: check
out the song
written and performed by a Canadian
Monk fan... in Austria.
This
past fall I made another visit
to the Monk set along with fellow
fan Kim to watch a little of the
filming of "Mr. Monk and
the Three Julies" directed
by David Breckman. Read
all about it!
I've
got a
bunch of interviews here on
The Monk Fun Page. The newest
ones are with Sandra
Luesse (Waitress, "Mr.
Monk's Other Brother") Tim
Bagley (Harold Krenshaw) Chet
Grissom (Det. Burns, "Mr.
Monk Makes the Playoffs")
Melissa
Strom (Young Clerk, "Mr.
Monk and the Miracle") Ernie
Grunwald (Vampire Manager
in "Mr. Monk's 100th Case"),
Casper
Van Dien (Lt. Albright) and
David
A. Jansen (Lt. Pierce) from
"Mr. Monk is Underwater",
James
Lesure (Ray Regis, "Mr.
Monk Takes a Punch"), Malcolm
Barrett, Heather
Brooker and Amy
Crofoot ("Mr. Monk Gets
Lotto Fever"). From last
season I've got John
Bobek (Brother Zack, "Mr.
Monk Joins a Cult"), Eve
Gordon and Bill
Chott who guest star in "Mr.
Monk Goes to the Bank" and
Brian
Prescott (courtesy of Agnieszka)
who is a guest actor in the first
part of the sixth season finale,
"Mr. Monk is on the Run".
Also pretty fresh is my interview
with Monk writer David
Breckman and Agnieszka's interview
with guest actor Sean
Blodgett who played a CSI
tech in the holiday episode "Mr.
Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa".
The
truth is I was fishing for an
interview, but instead I got a
lovely photo from Sarah
Brown (Mandy Bronson, "Mr.
Monk and the Leper")
I'm not giving up on the interview,
because Sarah is one of my absolute
favorites, but in the meantime
here's the photo she sent.
Monk
was renewed for
another season.
(Yipee!) But here's
the thing: according
to USA Network it
will be the final
season. (Boo!) They
began filming in
March. The first
episode of season
eight will air on
August 7th. There
will be 16 episodes
and they will be
shown all together
instead of the usual
split summer and
winter season. Everyone
is already hard
at work and some
episode titles have
leaked out: "Mr.
Monk and the Foreign
Man", "Mr.
Monk's Favorite
Show" (you
can watch
them shoot a scene
from this one below),
"Mr. Monk and
the Critic"
(scenes of this
one were being filmed
in Covina CA
the first week of
April), "Mr.
Monk and the Voodoo
Curse", "Mr.
Monk Takes the Stand",
"Mr. Monk &
the UFO" (this
one was being filmed
at the beginning
of May in Santa
Clarita CA where
someone
else saw them filming),"Mr.
Monk Goes Camping",
"Mr. Monk is
Someone Else"
and "Mr. Monk
and the Dog".
The
good news
is for one
episode and
one episode
only Bitty
Schram will
be returning
as Monk's
former assistant
Sharona. Here's
the scoop:

than with

‘Monk’
Detects Final Season
By Andrew Krukowski
November 14, 2008
5:06 PM
“We
want to build to
a spectacular conclusion
for this wonderful
show. By many measures,
‘Monk’
is the most successful
series in the history
of basic-cable television,
and it was certainly
the original tentpole
of our ‘Character’
brand,” said
Jeff Wachtel, executive
vice president of
original programming
with USA Network/co-head
of original content
with Universal Cable
Productions.
“Our
fans have been extremely
dedicated, and season
eight should prove
to be a very satisfying
reward,” he
said.
Creator
and head writer
Andy Breckman discussed
the subject a couple
of weeks before
the season eight
renewal annoucement:
Executive

“There
is a natural
life span,”
said Monk
creator and
executive
producer Andy
Breckman.
“People
just get burned
out naturally,
and we don't
want to push
ourselves
to do seasons
we're not
100% proud
of.
“We
feel we have X number
of stories we can
tell with these
characters, and
we're getting close
to that X. Season
eight feels right.
There have been
discussions and
I think everyone
is on the same page.”
While
Breckman admits
writing the series
is easier now because
he knows the characters,
the audience and
what works for both,
he fears going too
long could make
the show redundant
and disappointing
to fans whose viewership
has helped the show
deliver more than
3 million viewers,
including 2 million-plus
in adults 25-54,
in every season
since its premiere
in 2002.
“Our
audience is very
loyal and I'd love
to end things on
our terms and that,
on paper, is at
least our plan.”
Tony
Shalhoub has now
gone on record as
well regarding the

"It's
a great job, and
I work with great
people, and I really
enjoy doing the
character, but I
think eight years
is enough,"
he said in a phone
interview Thursday.
"I think we've
kind of explored
all the avenues
we could possibly
cover, and as much
as I like the show
and working on it,
I really do want
to think about moving
onto whatever the
next chapter might
be."
The
seventh season of
Monk began filming
on May 5th 2008.
Ordinarily they
would have begun
in March, but because
of the writers'
strike last spring's
filming was delayed.
After a brief break
they went back to
work on the second
half of the season
which began with
a holiday episode
entitled "Mr.
Monk and the Miracle"
guest starring Tracey
Walter, Ric
Sarabia, Melissa
Strom (who gave
me an interview
all about filming
her part in the
episode) and Michael
Patrick Breen
who took a
few pictures
when he was on the
set. It was broadcast
on November 28th.
Seven more episodes
aired starting on
January 9th 2009
with "Mr. Monk's
Other Brother"
featuring Steve
Zahn as Jack
Jr., Monk's younger
half brother.

Press Release Interview
with Ernie
Grunwald
In
an interview from
the summer of season
four, here's what
Tony Shalhoub had
to say about the way
the season is split
up: "The
advantage of airing
them in two blocks
is that viewers don't
have to wait so long
before new episodes
come along. They get
fewer at a time, but
the alternative is
airing all 16 and
then having people
wait nine months for
the new ones to come
along. The way we
do it now is that
only four months go
by before the new
shows start airing.
It feels like a long
time because the show's
so damn good, I guess."

"Of
course, back when
"Monk"
was originally
in development
at Touchstone
Television, this
hour-long dramedy
wasn't envisioned
as a showcase
for Mr. Shalhoub's
talents. But --
rather -- as a
starring vehicle
for Michael Richards.
You know? Of "Seinfeld"
fame?
"Strange
but true, folks.
As that super successful
sitcom was winding
down its 9-year-run
on NBC in the spring
of 1998, every studio
in Hollywood was
waiting in the wings.
Eager to cut deals
with Richards &
the rest of the
"Seinfeld"
cast to appear in
brand-new shows."

Thank
goodness for the Monk novels.
They do tide me over during
the infrequent Monk lulls
in my schedule. Author Lee
Goldberg recently finished
another one, Mr. Monk and
the Dirty Cop. If you want
to know what it's about
click below to see the dust
cover synopsis.He's
hard at work on the next
novel, Mr. Monk in Trouble.
If
you have a link you'd like to suggest
which is even remotely Monk
related, drop me an email at
links@eviltwinltd.com.
Here's
the official description of the most recently
released Monk novel, Mr. Monk is Miserable,
released on December 2nd 2008.
Adrian
Monk already ruined a trip to Germany
for his longsuffering assistant Natalie.
The least he can do is accompany her on
a detour to France—and try not to
ruin that too. In fact, Monk shocks Natalie
by announcing that he wants to visit the
sewers of Paris. The historic underground
maze of pipes and tunnels is famous for
making the City of Light sanitary, and
to Monk, that's worth paying tribute to.
The
only problem is that their explorations
lead them to another hidden world below
the Parisian streets: the catacombs, filled
with aging skulls and bones. Monk's sharp
eye catches sight of one skull that's
not so old—and that shows evidence
of murder—pulling them into a case
more twisted than the catacombs themselves.
Here's the
description for Mr. Monk Goes to Germany,
released in June 2008.
Adrian
Monk is actually doing well lately. He's
solving murders as fast as they come,
and he's been noticeably less compulsive—he
doesn't count his morning Wheat Chex until
they're in the bowl. Progress is progress,
and Monk knows he owes it all to his therapist,
Dr. Kroger.
So
when Dr. Kroger attends a conference in
Germany, Monk ends up in trouble. He can't
tie his shoes, forgets how to swallow,
and loses track of his blinking. Desperate
to regain his footing, Monk follows his
shrink to Germany. And that's where Monk
sees the man across a crowded town square.
The man he's never stopped searching for.
The
man with six fingers. The man responsible
for his wife's death.
The
fifth Monk novel which is
entitled Mr. Monk in Outer Space
was released on November 1st 2007.
According to Lee Goldberg on his
blog, "It's not in outer
space. Monk solves a murder at a science
fiction convention....
I
do have fun with Monk encountering
some of the more outrageous aspects
of fandom. I delivered my draft of
Mr.
Monk in Outer Space
to my editor a couple of weeks ago
and learned that they've moved up
the release date of the hardcover
to November 1. That was quite a surprise
and only underscores how enthusiastic
and supportive they've been for these
books."

Mr. Monk
and the Two Assistants, was the
first Monk novel to be initially released
in a hardback edition and it's still
available at all the bookstores that
count, but Amazon currently has the
Two
Assistants and Outer
Space hardbacks available
for less than the cost of the paperback
versions. I don't know how long that
will last, so you might want to jump
on it. Two Assistants was
released on July 3rd 2007 and in paperback
as of January 2008. My
review of Two Assistants
is up, if you want to know what I

Andy Breckman Gets His Wish
Finding
it hard to keep all the episodes straight?
You'll never have to worry again. Well....
of course, you'll worry, but
not about the correct order of the episodes
through season four. Monk:
the Official Episode Guide was released
on June 27th 2006. I'm pleased to present
an interview with the authors Terry Erdmann
and Paula Block who told The Monk Fun
Page all about it:
"The
reason this book exists is because Andy
Breckman was a fan of the television show
Columbo. He found many, many years ago
a book called The
Columbo Phile and he told me that
he’s always wanted to have a book
like that about himself. So
he mentioned it to someone at the USA
Channel. I
think he mentioned it, probably to Jeff
Wachtel, who’s the senior vice
president of original programming at USA
Network, and Jeff passed on the information.
It got to Cindy Chang at NBC Universal
licensing, because NBC Universal is the
head company over USA Network, and she
said, 'Yes, we can probably do a book.'
I’m not quite sure in what order
the things happened, but they found St.
Martin’s Griffin amenable to doing
the book and then she found us and it
all happened. —Terry Erdmann,
co-author of Monk: The Episode Guide.
The
rest of the interview
Accompanied
by fellow fan Kim, I had
the privilege of once
again visiting the set
of Monk in November 2007.
They were shooting "Mr.
Monk and the Three Julies",
the last episode to be
filmed for season six.

TVGuide.com:
Is there anything you can share
about the rest of the season?
Kamel:
I'm going to be singing on one
of the episodes. I serenade
Monk in my office, and it's
very, very funny. It's the only
time I've ever seen Tony biting
his lip to keep from laughing.
And Andy Richter guest-stars
[tonight] in "Mr. Monk
Makes a Friend."
TVGuide.com:
I saw the episode, and it's
very funny, particularly when
Monk asks you when he should
"pop the question"
to Richter, about being his
best friend.
Kamel:
Yeah, I just kind of look at
him like, "Wait, is there
something else going on here?
Maybe Monk's gay.... "
Monk music editor,
Craig Pettigrew,
answered all my questions in a May 2007 interview.
Love
it or hate it, here it is: the current
Emmy winning theme, It's
a Jungle Out There. USA's official
Monk site has a much more official version,
but this one's in MP3 format for all you
Real-Player challenged folks. In the spirit
of equal time, here's the season
one Emmy winning theme, too. I've
also got the Monk
Rap (1.21MB) from the season six episode
"Mr. Monk and the Rapper." Don't
tell anybody you found it here.
"There's
a certain thing [Randy] Newman has, it's
the dark and mournful sound, and there's
this tongue-in-cheek, darkly humorous
side. It completely fits the tone of the
show," Shalhoub says.
Excerpt
from USA Today
"What makes 'Monk'
tic? Bigger budget, brighter stars"
By Bill Keveney 6/19/2003
Here's
what happened, y'all
I got this, Monk
Yeah, you can't believe
what you hear all the time
Sometimes seeing is believing
Like the man said, I was set up
I'm just a pawn in this game
Let me break it down for y'all
No, for real here's what happened
Have
you ever been accused?
Man you got set up
And it really wasn't you?
Man you got set up
Tryin’ to plant somethin’
on me
Man you got set up
And then you say I killed the homey
This
fool was greedy
Had to have the whole thing
Let me run it down to you
It's a cold game
He wanted more than half of the pie
That's why his partner had to die
You heard me
You was the target all along
Am I right or am I wrong?
Monk:
You're making a lot of excellent points.
He is.
Every
week they had a breakfast date
Captain Crunch, French toast, or a stack
of pancakes
But this week they wasn't servin’
nothin'
But murder on the plate
(In
close captions, but not in the rap as
broadcast: The limo driver must have
caught a glimpse of Denny Hodges
As he fled the scene, Homes.)
He
wanted to pin it on me like a purple heart
But his perfect plan just fell apart
‘Cause like Aaron Burr who was tried
for treason
You made a mistake, Dog, forgot about
the season
There
was a fatal flaw to the perfect crime
You see Sunday was daylight savings time
Twice a year we reset the clock ahead
one hour,
But I guess you forgot
You're
partner showed up to break some bread
What he found was an empty table instead
You didn't order room service
Because you thought the homey whitey was
dead
Extra
Large ran out of luck
When the limo came by and picked him up
The pocket watch up under the car
The trigger went boom and there went Extra
Large
Have
you ever been accused?
Man you got set up
And it really wasn't you?
Man you got set up
Tryin' to plant somethin' on me
Man you got set up
And then you say I killed the homey
I
went to the source and found a great detective
I told Adrian Monk to follow my direction
He solved the case
and he rocked it well
Next stop for you Denny Hodges
Is a Death Row jail cell
Mr.
Monk Gets His First Song
At
least it's the first song that they didn't
have to pay for (as opposed to say It's
a Jungle Out There) and it comes
to us from Europe where Monk is becoming
more popular every day. The composer recently
dropped me an email: "I am a big
Monk fan, a Canadian currently living
in Vienna, Austria. I am also a song writing
musician and I have a new
CD. One of the songs on the CD, “There’s
Nothing Wrong With You”, I wrote
for Monk. It’s a warm, light hearted
message of encouragement for the great
Monk. I would like to share this song
with all Monk fans, for free." Just
go to his website
to download the song.
There's
Nothing Wrong With You
It's a well
accepted fact
Everyone sane will agree it's true
Just ask anyone
There ain’t nothing wrong with
you
So you don't
like some things
And you have a phobia or two
But that don't make you crazy
There ain’t nothing wrong with
you
It's no wonder
you're the way you are
Trapped in this world that's really
such a mess
You really don't have to look very far
To see it's such a mess, such a dangerous,
scary mess
Some might
say you're cracked
But they don't see you like I do
They might laugh behind your back
But there ain’t nothing wrong
with you
So this world
makes you nervous
Many sane folks feel that too
And the streets are filled with chaos,
yeah I know
But there ain't nothing wrong with you
It's just all such a mess, such a dangerous,
scary mess
All you wanna
do is fix things
That really are quite askew
Maybe you're the only one who sees them,
yeah I know
But there ain’t nothing wrong
with you
So you got
some issues
But nothing we can't work through
But I do think you worry a little too
much
But there ain’t nothing wrong
with you
It's a well
accepted fact
Anyone sane will agree it's true
Just ask anyone
There ain’t nothing wrong with
you

As
of this writing and barring a miracle,
Bitty
Schram (Sharona) and Monk
have permanently parted ways. Speculation
abounds as to the "real" reason(s)
for her departure, but as Willie Nelson
says, "There's only two things to
fight about and money is one of 'em."
The
Powers That Be said:
"Monk has decided to go in a different
creative direction with some of its characters.
Bitty Schram will not continue with the
cast. We thank her for her notable contributions
and wish her the very best."
Bitty's
People said: "Bitty Schram and
USA Network have amicably decided to go
their own separate ways... She wishes
everyone connected with the show continued
success and looks forward to pursuing
the various opportunities before her."
According
to a March 2006 TV Guide Article: In
another first, Schram also talks in public
for the first time about her leaving Monk.
She told TV guide that she didn't want
to leave the show but suspected she "was
being paid less than many people who got
raises" and she couldn't "work
out a new contract." Still, she says,
Monk "was the best experience of
my career."
Those
concerned that Bitty was hard done by
needn't worry. According to Tony Shalhoub
in a not so recent article:
"Bitty has so many opportunities
opening up for her now... she has bigger
fish to fry."
Natalie
Teeger, is the replacement character for
Sharona. The role is played by Traylor
Howard once best known for being the
girl in Two
Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.
Producer David Hoberman said, "We
fell in love with her during her audition,
and we're sure the audience will fall
in love with her too."
Despite
Mr. Hoberman's optimism, not all the fans
shared his enthusiasm. A tropophobic
and vocal group of fans voiced their displeasure
with all things Natalie, from the actress
who portrays her to the concept of the
character. "Why does Natalie go around
thinking she is hot stuff?" asked
one of her harsher critics on the official
USA Message Board. "She always
tries to use her feminine side with men,
come on she is not pretty nor sexy...
just check out that nose, whoa!!!!!"
[Note: that particular poster has since
changed his mind, as have many others,
and now thinks Natalie's okay.]
"Luckily,
no one has come up and yelled at me,"
Howard said in a
March 2005 TV Guide article. "There
are die-hard Sharona fans who are not
going to budge for a while or ever. Some
people love the new character; some are
trying to give her the benefit of the
doubt. But it will take a while."
Tony
had this to say: "I love the whole
freshness that Traylor brings. I feel
the show is intact, that it's evolving
and it's the next chapter."
