The guy who played Stottlemeyer also played a cartoonish bad guy on “Crime Story”. He was very funny.
This is a good show, sorry to see it ending.
Eight years??? I was barely aware of it. (No TV.)
I’m really going to miss this show. Thanks to TiVo I’ve never missed an episode.
All talent, and Shaloob is a gem.

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.
Unfortunately, Shalhoub is a big time liberal Demokook.
The problem is that we don't know what to have for dinner: Chicken pot pie, perfectly square grilled cheese sandwiches with no crust, pizza cut into exactly 10 slices...?

Monk has been one bright spot in a wasteland of irrelevance and filth.
I am so sorry to see it end..
Thanks for the run guys!
I think they should have just called a break for shooting Monk for a few years then do some tv movies once in a while like they did for Columbo all those years.
They’ve been running a Monk Marathon all day devoted to episodes where there are clues about Trudy. If they kill Mnnk off tonight, I’ll be crushed and I’ll never forgive them. I really enjoyed this series and consider it one of the finest series ever to be on TV.
To add insult to injury, the finale tonight will be followed by the finale to White Collar, the only other series that holds a candle to Monk. I don’t know what I’ll do with my Fri. nights this winter. How can they do this to me?
BTW — Shaloub has a movie coming out. It’s already been prescreened in Green Bay. Something about fish, and they say it’s good.
And yes, THe Big Night was delightful.
sad that the show is ending... love the cast, love that Sharona and Randy “hooked up,” and i love the theme song, “It’s a Jungle Out There,” by Randy Newman... “i could be wrong now—but i don’t think so... cause there’s a jungle out there...”
Well, I’ve watched the finale and I have to say that I am satisfied with it. I will say no more, in case some of you are going to be catching it on re-runs; but after everyone has seen it, I’d enjoy reading your comments.
An unexpected bonus is a new Randy Newman theme song which I understand is downloadable.
However, I’m just a little bit ticked at the “finale” of White Collar which we will have to wait until Jan. 16 to see how it ends. NOT FAIR!
But, Monk was nice and I only see a couple of loose ends which I’d like to discuss after everyone has seen it.
My teenage daughter jokingly predicted that “Randy” would be the criminal mastermind behind Trudy’s death, because no one could be expected to believe he was that stupid.

Green Bay and Fish Creek will get Hollywood treatment when Emmy-winning actor Tony Shalhoub returns next weekend for screenings of the film, “Feed the Fish.”
The movie was shot last year in Door County, and the Green Bay native is one of the stars and a producer.
Admission is free to screenings at 7 and 9 p.m. Nov. 21 at Door Community Auditorium in Fish Creek and 7 p.m. Nov. 22 at the Meyer Theatre in downtown Green Bay.
Entry at the Meyer will be on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 6 p.m.
Tickets are gone for the 7 p.m. showing at Door Community Auditorium. Seats for the 9 p.m. showing may be reserved by calling the auditorium at (920) 868-2728 during business hours.
Admission is free so the film can remain eligible for festivals.
Question-and-answer sessions with the cast and crew will follow each screening.
Written and directed by Michael Matzdorff, “Feed the Fish” is a romantic comedy about a burned-out author of children’s books whose “therapy” includes a Polar Bear Plunge in icy Lake Michigan.
Ross Partridge, among the cast from Hollywood, plays the author. Shalhoub’s role is secondary, though his participation was crucial in the film’s making and promotion.
“It’s not unusual that Tony decided to do something here at the Meyer,” Rob Riordan, Meyer board president, said at a news conference at the theater. “He and his wife, Brooke Adams, donated to the Meyer when it was first remodeled and helped us to get our feet going that way.”
Matzdorff also will attend the screenings.
“I’m from Green Bay,” he said by phone from Los Angeles. “Some of our cast is from Green Bay, and our producers are all Wisconsin people.”
Finishing touches came together well, Matzdorff said.
“We’re very proud of it,” he said.
Shalhoub, who plays the sheriff in the movie, is a three-time Emmy winner for his role of detective Adrian Monk in the USA Network series, “Monk,” which is in its eighth and final season.
Shalhoub catches Green Bay Packers games when possible, and a relative said he’d be at the Nov. 22 game at Lambeau Field against the San Francisco 49ers.
