Back in the 70s Mr. Monk had a favorite TV shooooowww...
And this episode is all about how he discovers the behind-the-scenes story of that show, having to place the reality of the cast before their screen personas in order to solve a greed-driven crime.
I'm kinda reluctant when it comes to watching Monk because the show is "too television" for my taste. Not as revolutionary as Columbo, nor engaging as its unofficial follow-up, The Mentalist... Monk is the male version of Murder She Wrote in my eyes, but I like the light mood it provides.
Hence this episode makes sense - shows us that Monk himself is a character who loves TV sitcoms more than he dives deep into real people.
I wonder if such episodes of several TV shows have inspired the creators of Bojack Horseman for the best homage to "TV shows from our past".
