Gone East

Monk Pilot

Earlier this month I confessed to having just discovered the great USA Network show, Monk. I wondered how long it had been on, and no one offered an answer.

Last night I watched the the two-hour, pilot movie for the series. It was interesting to see how Shalhoub originally played the character, and it explained a lot about the backstory about his wife and his suspended police career.

My TiVo tells me that this ep first aired on July 12, 2002.
