Дефективный детектив Mr. Monk and the Paperboy (2002–2009) Online

While delivering Monk's newspaper, the paperboy is killed by somebody intent on stealing the paper. The detective's apartment is subsequently filled with police as they investigate the crime. The invasion of the numerous and untidy cops as well as a visit from Monk's bizarre neighbor rattle poor Adrian, who concludes that the thief was trying to keep Monk from seeing something in the paper. Sharona gets Monk out of the apartment by taking him to the convenience store to buy a paper. Monk pores through the paper, solving unrelated crimes as he reads, despite the interruptions from his annoying neighbor. Another murder, this time of the convenience store clerk, confuses things somewhat. However, Monk eventually ends up on the right track.

This episode introduced Monk's upstairs neighbor, Kevin Dorfman, played by Jarrad Paul.

Note the personal ad listed below the one Randy placed in the newspaper: "Benji, where have you gone? Desperate to reach you. Please call home. All our love, M & D." This is apparently an in-joke referring to Sharona's son Benjy.

Kevin Dorfman is talking to Danny Bonaduce on the phone at the end of this episode. Danny appeared in Monk: Mr. Monk Meets the Playboy (2003) (#2.8).

The events of this episode are alluded to in the novel "Mr. Monk Is Miserable" by Lee Goldberg.

Monk reads a Marmaduke comic strip out loud. In Monk: Mr. Monk Gets Fired (2004)(#3.4) he recants a Marmaduke comic at his job interview.

This is the first of two episodes that involve the California state lottery. The next time would be Monk: Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever (2008)(#7.3).

Vicki's entire plot would have been utterly obvious to any law enforcement agency. Variations on this murder have been tried before and the killer is always caught. The fact that she worked at the store where the winning ticket was sold would have made her ineligible for the prize regardless if she was married to the ticket holder. If she had murdered Kevin, she would have been primary suspect. Greed can be a terrible thing.

[11:28]The scene of the body shop was filmed only 1 mile (1½ km) from two scenes in Ühe kandi kutid (1991): Where Tre gets pulled over, and where he and his friends are hanging out at night. It was also only 3½ miles (5½ km) from the Thomas W Phillips Residence which was the filming location in The People Under the Stairs (1991), and only 2½ miles (4 km) from the Eppes family home in Numbr1d (2005). See filming locations & Google maps.

Body Count: 2

The third of four episodes that involve a hit and run. The first two were Monk: Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man (2003)(#2.5) & Monk: Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect (2003)(#2.7), then there would later be another: Monk: Mr. Monk Is on the Run: Part 2 (2008)(#6.16).

[33:56] The winning lottery numbers are 8 12 17 26 34 45.

Sharona accidentally finds Randy's personal ad in the newspaper and after reading it out loud, realizes that she fits his description of his ideal mate. As it would eventually turn out, five years later the two would reunite and get married in the series' finale.

'Monk' has always been one of my most watched shows when needing comfort, to relax after a hard day, a good laugh or a way to spend a lazy weekend.

There are many great episodes of Season 2. "Mr Monk and the Paperboy" is one of them, and to me actually one of the season's, and show's, best. There hasn't been a bad episode of 'Monk' up to this point in Season 2 and even the weakest episode of Season 1 ("Mr Monk and the Earthquake") was still enjoyable, but "Mr Monk and the Paperboy" stands out. Loved the fact that Monk doesn't discover properly the truth until late and that most of the time he is on the wrong trail, which is not often seen with 'Monk' where he knows who it is but has to prove it and how it was done.

"Mr Monk and the Paperboy's" mystery was also very diverting and refreshingly unconventional (only "Mr Monk Goes to Mexico" to me was more unique) with a number of surprises and an interesting final solution that rings true and never takes improbability too far. So yes, it delivers more than most Season 2 episodes on the mystery factor.

One of the best things about 'Monk' has always been the acting of Tony Shalhoub in the title role. It was essential for him to work and be the glue of the show, and Shalhoub not only is that but also at his very best he IS the show. Have always loved the balance of the humour, which is often hilarious, and pathos, which is sincere and touching. It is remarkable here that right from the first episode to when the show ended that one likes him straight away, even with his quirks and deficiencies that could easily have been overplayed, and also that he is better developed than most titular characters of other shows at this particular stage. Who can't help love Monk's brilliant mind too?

He is very well supported by a sharp and no-nonsense but also sympathetic Bitty Schram, whose Sharona makes for a worthy and entertaining partner for Monk's sleuthing and somebody with a maternal side. There is always a debate at who's better between Sharona and Natalie, personally like both in their own way and consider them both attractive though as of now leaning towards Natalie as the better acted and more attentive of the two. The two are so enjoyable together and the best detective duo of any show in recent years from personal opinion.

Both Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford are very amusing, with Stottlemeyer's loyalty and frustration towards Monk a lot of fun to watch and Disher's quirks and goofiness never coming over as annoying. The supporting cast are strong.

It's not just the cast though. Another star is the writing, which is also essential to whether the show would be successful or not and succeed it does here. The mix of hilarious wry humour, lovable quirkiness and tender easy-to-relate-to drama is delicately done but extremely deft, of which some of the funniest writing of the whole show is in this episode. The character moments are such a joy with the principal cast are always, with some genuinely hilarious moments with Monk and great interplay with him and Sharona.

Visually, the episode is shot in a slick and stylish way, and the music is both understated and quirky. While there is a preference for the theme music for Season 1, Randy Newman's "It's a Jungle Out There" has grown on me overtime, found it annoying at first but appreciate its meaning and what it's trying to say much more now.

Overall, a season and show highlight. 10/10 Bethany Cox
