What the heck happened to Monk? (1 Viewer)

[Jason Seaver]

Kind of a waste of Glenn Headley to only have her in those few scenes, though. A very funny woman who doesn't seem to show up on TV or movies nearly often enough.

My favorite bit was Stottlemeyer asking Sharona if Adrian Monk was actually jumping into a garbage truck.

Wow, a very powerful moment, when Monk tells the captain, "The place where you are right now, that's where I live everyday!"

And then, the last scene, where you think Monk is going to take the Captain's hand, and he ends up just adjusting them to make them even. Man, that's some funny writing.
