Editor's Note
The critically acclaimed, Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning MONK finally gave talented character actor Tony Shalhoub a chance to shine. Shalhoub's performance as the mentally unstable title character contains just the right mix of pathos and perfect comic timing, earning him an Emmy and a Golden Globe for the role. Adrian Monk (Shalhoub) is San Francisco's most brilliant detective, but is unable to serve on the police force because of his crippling neuroses and obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, he continues his investigations independently, often solving cases before the actual police are able to do so, and always seeking out clues to the unsolved murder of his wife. The combination of comedy, mystery, and a distinctively eccentric character have lead many to dub MONK the successor to COLUMBO. This collection includes the complete fourth season.

Writer Andy Breckman displays a welcome willingness to throw us into the middle of the plot, trusting us to find our way back to the beginning, along with a good ear for funny cop dialogue. Even better, he's provided a great showcase for Shalhoub (Wings, Galaxy Quest, Big Night), a talented, intensely honest actor who is at his best when he's being quietly put-upon. - Robert Bianco
