Summary: This Show Has Passed It's Prime
Comment: My good ness, look at all the glowing reviews. I gave this one star just to offset the rating a little. Honestly I would have given 2 stars. I have been a fan of Monk since the beginning. I loved seasons 1& 2. Season 3 was pretty good as well, but not as good as the previous two. Season 4 started to fall off. My wife and I though there were at least 6 or 7 throw away episodes. Also the show got considerably sillier. Season 5 has done it for me. I just tinished the last episode and I am officially over "Monk". The writing on this show has gone so downhill it's not even funny. It has become a silly almost farcical satire. It was not this silly in the first two seasons I'm sorry. It had humor, yes but it was fresh and the storylines took center stage and Monk was an interesting Character. Season five consisted of recycled plots, recycled jokes and every character has become more of a caricature. Stottlemeyer and Disher have become especially absurd when they could have been explored more as charaters. Really sad. Monk was a nice gimmick for a while and great writing could have kept it afloat. However this has not been the case whatsoever. The writing has become abysmal. By Monk

Summary: disappointing
Comment: this series was is appointing in many ways. I bought it because it was so many minutes of my favorite series but it was not worth the money. It had a repeated episode (Monk meets the Lepord). It was not even that good of a story. They wanted to show it in black and white and color what a waste. There was not that many episodes. The only saving factor was the Psyco bonus episode. In conclusion it is not worth the effort to buy or watch. I hope season 6 is better.

Summary: Mr. Monk and his colleagues continue to evolve
Comment: In the fifth season of this series, Mr. Monk and his colleagues keep evolving despite his being stuck with all the OCDs he has had since the beginning. He's still seeing Dr. Kroger but little progress has been made. Still, Monk manages to solve cases that no one else can, even outwitting the expensive gadgetry used in "Mr. Monk and the really, really dead guy."
The appealing detective Randy Disher gets more to do this season, while Julie Teeger teaches Mr. Monk the finer points of email so he can try to join the 21st century.
The final episode has Monk beaten up and nearly killed by a doctor in a hospital, but Natalie arrives in time to save him, as she frequently does.
Monk is still obsessing on Trudy, but I suspect that he might become interested in someone else eventually. I'll know for sure after viewing season six.
Customer Rating:
Summary: We love Monk!
Comment: Once again, this series has gotten better. We have loved all of the seasons of Monk, but this one (especially the Black and White episode!) was one of my favorites.
Natalie just keeps getting better as his assistant, Julie is growing up so much and is so great, and of course, Monk just keeps getting scared of more and more!! (Loved the frogs bit!)
If you like Monk, you'll LOVE this!

Editorial Reviews:

It's time to tidy up for another season with Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner Tony Shalhoub in all 16 Season Five episodes of Monk, television's most fresh and funny series. Gumshoe Adrian Monk would never actually have gum on his well-polished shoes: in addition to intellect and instinct, he also has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Though his eccentric traits bewilder his colleagues Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard), Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), Monk's attention to detail keeps crime—and grime—off the streets. Included in this highly collectible, 4-disc set are both the black & white and color versions of the noir-style episode "Mr. Monk and the Leper," obsessively good bonus features and the pilot episode of the hit comedy-drama Psych. Follow the clues to Season Five of Monk, the quirky and original show TV Guide hails as "alternatively hilarious and touching."
