Monk Season 8 DVD

Love Monk . Love Sharona. Love the show , the scripts, the music, the cinematography. Love it, love it, love it. VERY glad to receive the first season of Monk - which I didn't catch on USA Network - as a present.

We became Monk fans with the Season Two DVDs s, a family member having tipped us off to the series. Then, having been effectively and thoroughly hooked, we sought out Season Three and, separately, the premier episode on its separate DVD . Still unsatiated, we finally acquired the Season One set. Taking them in that order creates no real problem, since each episode does stand alone. However, it was interesting to note that Season One's Sharona seemed more compassionate and less bitchy than in later seasons. But, bitchy or not, we still miss Sharona, although Natalie had become more substantial by the time Season Three ended. We are eager for Season Four. Since we refuse to watch broadcast television, the DVDS are our only way to experience the show. So why only four stars? Perhaps I received a slightly defective DVD , but on my player, some of the dubbing is off. Enough that it is noticeable and annoying. Also, the special features portion did not have sound. There was music, but no voices. Fortunately, I was able to borrow someone else's copy of the DVD to hear the special features. To me, this is one of the greatest things about DVDs - those special features, and Monk First Season is no exception to this. Overall, this season is great for your collection, whether you've seen the episodes before or never seen Monk in your life. It is so much fun watching Monk work and "play" that you will be lost in his world. And your problems could never be as bad as his! My personal favorite episode is Mr. Monk and the Airplane. In this episode, Monk is forced to fly with Sharona. The entire episode takes place on the airplane where his fears, compulsions, and obsessions take full force, and where he manages to solve a couple mysteries. As a person with a fear of flying myself, this episode had me laughing all the way through. This show only gets better over time. The first season was good. The second season was great! And the third season - well, you catch my drift. Slowly we learn about Monk 's real life - and Sharona's, too. Will Mon ever solve the mystery closest to him - what happened to his wife Trudy? I know I'll be trying to solve that mystery right along with him.
Each episode of Monk is only about 40 minutes long without commercials. Perfect!
