content

Adrian Monk was a former detective with the homicide division of the San Francisco Police Department. After his wife Trudy was killed in an attack, the trauma increased his numerous quirks and turned into a mental disorder . He was released from the police force and did not leave home for three years.

At the beginning of the series action, Monk's condition has improved, but numerous phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders remain . He constantly needs help from a personal assistant (until the third season this is Sharona Fleming, a former nurse, from episode 39 Natalie Teeger). Their main task is to keep everything away from Monk that scares him. He is also receiving psychotherapeutic treatment .

Monk works as a freelance consultant for the police in difficult cases. Despite or because of his phobias, he has a good instinct for things that are not right. Mostly he is hired by his former boss and friend Captain Leland Stottlemeyer, who does not always understand his methods, but respects them because of his high rate of clarification.

characters

Adrian Monk

Tony Shalhoub aka Adrian Monk

Adrian and his older brother Ambrose were abandoned by their father Jack Monk when they were children. This led Adrian to develop numerous phobias and an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He plays the clarinet and worked as a policeman in San Francisco for a long time until he was suspended from duty due to a mental breakdown caused by the death of his wife Trudy. After about three years he started working as a police advisor. In doing so, he solves the most difficult cases due to his comprehension and his enormous memory, which allow him to recognize connections that others miss, and thus achieves local fame. The murder of his wife won't be cleared up until the end of last season. In another case he finally got clues that lead him to her murderer.

Captain Leland Francis Stottlemeyer

Captain Leland Francis Stottlemeyer is Monk's former supervisor, who often despairs of his quirks, but also regards him as a friend, although he finds the latter difficult to admit. In his private life, he struggles with problems: First his wife Karen divorces him, then Monk exposes his new girlfriend Linda Fusco as a murderer. At the end of the series, he remarries. He has two sons (Jared and Max) from his first marriage.

Lieutenant Randall "Randy" Disher

Lieutenant Randall "Randy" Disher is Stottlemeyer's assistant, who often has absurdly naive ideas and theories. According to Stottlemeyer, in his investigation he is taking advantage of the fact that people trust him with everything possible. Randy plays the guitar. In almost every episode he develops a special quirk that he keeps until the end. At one point he desperately wants to spell everything; in another episode he protests his innocence at every opportunity or tries unsuccessfully as a singer, farmer or living statue . His constant attempts to find a creative nickname for the murderer he is looking for are also typical of him. At the end of the series, he has a relationship with Monk's former assistant, Sharona Fleming, and becomes the chief of police in Summit, New Jersey .

Sharona Fleming

Monk's first personal assistant, Sharona Fleming, a former nurse, helped him find his way back to life after his wife died. She has a brash demeanor and little luck with men. She used to be a dancer in Atlantic City . In the third season, she and her son move back to his father, and Natalie Teeger is her successor. In the last season she returns in the episode Mr. Monk with Natalie - and Sharona? back, split up with her husband, and started a relationship with Lieutenant Disher.

Benjy Fleming

Sharona Fleming's son.

Natalie Cheer Teeger

Monk's second assistant Natalie Cheer Teeger is widowed like her boss and is also a single mother. Her husband Mitch was a Navy pilot and died in the Kosovo War in 1998 . At first she has little understanding for Monk's phobias and sometimes tries to drive them out, which always ends in a fiasco. Later, however, she is very gentle with him. Natalie Teeger comes from the rich Davenport family, her father is an entrepreneur and one of the largest producers of toothpaste in the USA.

Julie Teeger

Natalie Teeger's daughter, who often expects fatherly support from Monk, which is completely overwhelming. Julie later begins training as a stage actress.

Dr. Charles Kroger

Monk's psychiatrist who never loses his composure, even though his patient often makes excessive demands on him. Like his actor Stanley Kamel , he died of a heart attack after the sixth season.

Dr. Neven Bell

In the seventh season, he succeeds Dr. Kroger as Monk's psychiatrist.

Trudy Anne Monk

Adrian Monk's late wife. Adrian and Trudy met in their youth at the University of California at Berkeley . She was killed by a car bomb in a parking garage in 1997. In some episodes she appears in Monk's visions and talks to him. In episode 51 ( Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk ) she appears to appear again. However, it is only a question of a doppelganger who dies at the end of the episode. Trudy's parents are Dwight and Marcia Ellison.

At the end of the series, the mystery of Trudy Monk's death is resolved. She was murdered by the married judge Ethan Rickover, from whom she had a child. At the end of the series, Adrian Monk meets her now grown-up daughter Molly Evans and becomes friends with her.

Ambrose Monk

Adrian Monk's brother is also highly neurotic and intelligent. The father of the two disappeared when they were still children. Ambrose has been waiting for him since then and has not left the house. He earns his living by writing operating instructions, which he also translates into several languages. Only when he is about to be killed by a fire is he saved from the flames by his brother, thereby partially overcoming his strong agoraphobia .

production

The series began in the United States on July 12, 2002 with a double episode, it was produced by Touchstone Television and Studios USA (since mid-2004 NBC Universal Television ) for the cable station USA Network . Monk is invented by Andy Breckman , who was among other things a writer for Saturday Night Live . On December 4, 2009, the last episode, Mr. Monk and Trudys Erbe Part 2 ( original title: Mr. Monk and the End - Part II ) was broadcast in the USA . It set a new record in the US cable network with 9.4 million viewers, the previous record holder was an episode of the series The Closer with 9.2 million viewers.

In order to bridge the program gap caused by the authors' strike in the midseason, the broadcaster NBC took Monk from its subsidiary USA Network into the program in 2008 , but was unsuccessful.

As is common in many other series of this time, the industry in Monk also relies on product placement . For example , the Sierra Springs mineral water , which Monk drinks exclusively (until the end of season five), comes from a company based on the Pacific coast . Other examples are the Lever 2000 wet wipes and the well-known computer brands used by Captain Stottlemeyer in the office.

music

The theme song of the first season comes from the film composer Jeff Beal and the guitarist Grant Geissman . From the second season Monk was broadcast with a different opening credits and different theme music ( It's a Jungle Out There by Randy Newman ). Many viewers did not like this change, and since the middle of the third season the original melody has sometimes been played at the end of the episode. This conflict over music is taken up in a self-referential manner in several episodes , such as in episode 25 ( Mr. Monk and the TV star ). In Mr. Monk and the Leper Man , Randy Disher plays the old theme song on the piano of a murder victim. When Stottlemeyers asked what kind of music it was, Disher replied with "background music". When Disher alludes to another background song in the series, Stottlemeyer asks him if he already knows that these melodies are not always played. Disher then replies with the words “Of course they do that”, whereupon the same music is played. As a result, Mr. Monk in the rap scene , the new theme song is raped by Snoop Dogg , who also has a guest appearance there.

Books

Books on the series have been published in the USA since 2006, in which author Lee Goldberg tells new, unfilmed cases of Monks. All other well-known characters in the series also appear in the books. In Germany, the translated books are published by Panini Verlag .
