After six years of getting his hands dirty and then vigilantly scrubbing them clean, Monk is gearing up—probably pretty carefully—for his last case.

USA announced Friday that it has picked up its Emmy-winning detective series Monk for an eighth and final season that will air next summer.

The "Characters Welcome" network has ordered up 16 episodes, and E! News is hearing that the finale will clue Monk in on who killed his dearly departed wife, Trudy, the tragedy that turned him into the OCD-addled mystery-solver who cable audiences have come to love.

"By many measures, Monk is the most successful series in the history of basic cable television."

I think the reason NCIS works is it is the right amount of humor within pretty serious subject.

You are so right!

One of the cool things about “Monk” is that Ted Levine will no longer be known solely for playing Buffalo Bob in “Silence of the Lambs.”

Believe it or not, I never saw 'Silence of the Lambs' and don't want to...
