Featured review
My favorite Monk so far
I have some problems with Monk as a concept. The level of borrowing from Columbo, for example.
However, in this one there's an emphasis on how Monk differs from "the original": Columbo is a social guy who can put his hand inside a toilet stool, the exact opposite of a germophobe, AND has a dog!
"What if Monk gets a dog?" is a cool exercise as proven in the episode. And it helps to keep the crime simple, the criminal soft.
I loved how the dog's acting was handled. As a father and a grandfather of many dogs myself, I could relate to many scenes in this one.
Kudos to those who came up with the idea.
