Monk Season 8 Premiere {Review & Giveaway}
In the 8th and final season premiere, Elizabeth Perkins ("Weeds") guest stars as a former child star that grew up in the spotlight of a 60s family sitcom much like The Brady Bunch. When the actress writes a tell-all book about her life, someone begins stalking and trying to kill her. Who could the culprit be, when anyone who knows her or reads her book is a suspect?
Most of the comedy in this episode stems from Monk's fascination and obsession with the show (it seems appropriate that he be obsessed with a television show during his own show's final season), as well as the running joke about page 73 of the tell-all novel the actress wrote. I also got a huge laugh seeing Tony Shalhoub don an afro during the shocking "And the bad guy is..." scene. Much like the real Brady Bunch cast, we learn of all the "behind the scenes" drama and "Where are they now?" stories of The Cooper Clan cast members. Is a co-star trying to kill the actress or is it just a crazy fan?
The twists and turns keep coming in this episode and it is one that should surely not be missed. So far, there are no signs that the end of the show is drawing near, but we all know this is the final season. Tune into USA Network this Friday at 8 PM CST to catch the season premiere episode, "Mr. Monk's Favorite Show".
Win It!
Don’t miss the start of the 8th and final season of MONK on USA NETWORK, Friday at 9/8c. Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG award winner Tony Shalhoub returns as the obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk with 16 brand-new laugh-inducing episodes. The final season promises to be a memorable one for all Monk fans. So tune in and watch one of the most successful series in basic cable history give its final farewell. Become a fan on Facebook, Follow Monk on Twitter, and play Monk games on USA’s Character Arcade.

I found this giveaway thru the email feed! :)
My family loves Monk and I think the show educated many and generated a compassion for OCD. With his obsessive neatness he was the otherside of Columbo who I also loved. Love it when Monk says 'it's a blessing, and a curse'.
I love Monk and my favorite is the same as everyone else's "It's a blessing, and a curse". I miss Sharon played by Bitsy Shram. I am queenesperfect at yahoo.com

Honestly I'm not sure how I found your blog. Recently you tweeted or someone tweeted about Monk and that was a review that I wanted to read and a giveaway I wanted to enter. Regardless, I've visited your blog before just can't remember details.
I'm calling the captain or It's a gift and a curse!
"Unless I'm wrong, which you know, I'm not..."
From "Mr. Monk Goes to a Fashion Show":
Monk: Don't eat the food! I just saw four models back there throwing up!
I always suck at remembering quotes, so I had to look one up...
Monk: "I'm not good at parties!"
Sharona: "It's not a party! It's a memorial service."
Thanks for the giveaway!
The Only one I can think of right now is "I have nature on my hands!" Thanks for the chance.

My favorite Monk quote is from an episode early in the second season.
Monk jumps on a table to avoid a snake, which surprises Stottlemeyer:
Stottlemeyer: I thought you were afraid of heights.
Monk: Snakes trump heights. It goes: germs, needles, milk, death, snakes, mushrooms, heights, crowds, elevators...
Stottlemeyer: Okay, okay — I don't need the entire list.
"unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not..."
