We love this character, and like other Monk fans we have been looking forward to the first new Monk show of their last season. Unfortunately, this first episode was a big disappointment due to the silly portrayal of a Brady Bunch family in which Monk was dressed in goofy clothes and sporting an Afro. There were some occasional good lines, as always in Monk episodes, but this one really fell flat compared to most other Monk shows. Perhaps the intent of the producers is to diminish our enjoyment of Monk and the show so much that by the end of the season we won't care if it goes off the air or not. Since that seems like a rather lame strategy, we're hoping the rest of the year will produce much better written episodes! If not, Monk's last season is going to make for a disappointingly long winter....
