Really? Monk is (was) one of my favorite shows.

It stars Tony Shalaub as "the defective detective", (as he is affectionitely called). He has many phobias, such as heights, germs, dirt, milk. (Yes, I said milk.) ;-)

Anyway, he is very similar to Sherlock Holmes in as that he can solve crimes that baffle the police. But he is so emotionally damaged, (he lost his wife in a car bombing), that he needs an assistant, (nearly a nurse), to help him out. He, (and his family) is similar to Robert Crumb and his family, (which if you saw the movie "Crumb", means lots of weird situations).

Highly recommended.

As far as reality shows, I've only ever watched one, (King of the Nerds), which was okay, but I doubt I will watch the next season. My wife has watched a few, but they just don't interest me in the slightest.
