LOS ANGELES (AP) - The final episode of "Monk" has some heavy lifting to do: Resolve Monk's poisoning and whether he survives, uncover his wife's killer or, just maybe, reveal whether Trudy really is alive after all.

Tony Shalhoub, who inhabited the title character so perfectly for eight seasons that he collected three Emmy Awards, refuses to drop any spoilers and offers only a broad outline of Adrian Monk's fate Friday (9 p.m. EST, USA Network).

The whole cast on this series made me laugh, especially Stottlemeyer as much as anyone else.

The guy who played Stottlemeyer also played a cartoonish bad guy on “Crime Story”. He was very funny.

You have to see “The Big Night” starring Tony Shaloub. The man is a paisan.

I think he was in Silence Of The Lambs as well

It was interesting how they resolved the whole "Get my badge back" story arc.

I really am looking forward to the finale tonight.

The only TV shows today that are well written, well acted, and which actually cater to someone above a sub-moron level are all found on networks like USA, A&E, Scify, TNT, etc. No wonder the major networks are dying.

“I was very very happy when Sharona morphed into Natalie. Man she is hot!”

Traylor has one of the best derrieres in history.

I think he was in silence of the lambs too. He was scary! The first time I watched that movie was by myself, in the dark while everyone else in the house was asleep. I’m surprised *I* was able to sleep after that. First movie ever that scared me that much!! ;-)

Unfortunately, Shalhoub is a big time liberal Demokook.
