Monk Solves Murder on Live TV | Monk

Here's the gameshow solve you've been waiting for! 🎉

Season 3, Episode 8, "Mr. Monk and the Gameshow": With Sharona out of town visiting her ailing mother, Monk has been left in the care of his annoying former neighbor, Kevin Dorfman. As Monk is forced to deal with Kevin's antics, there's a knock on the door. To his astonishment, it's Dwight Ellison, the father of his late wife, Trudy. Ellison is an executive overseeing a popular game show called "Treasure Chest." He's convinced the current champion is cheating, so he asks Monk to come to Los Angeles to help him figure out what's going on. Monk and Dwight head to L.A., with Kevin in tow.

Monk Synopsis: Adrian Monk (Emmy®-winner Tony Shalhoub) was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. But after the tragic and still-unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, the devastated Monk becomes obsessive-compulsive. His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even milk. Monk's condition costs him his job, but he's back as a police consultant despite the unique challenges he encounters in his everyday life. These challenges lead Monk to hire a personal nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), who is always there to offer her assistance, even with the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer). Her less-than-subtle prodding keeps the "defective detective" on track in his investigations, as well as in his efforts to convince Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) to allow him to return to the force.

“Can we go to commercial?”
“You do and you’re fired”
Such simple line delivery, and yet, so great

[hiddenmessage]

Susan is scenes real VIP "It looked so much easier when I was watching at home"
"C" - No C is not right
"I knew it; do-over" Not being distracted by the murder, the real injustice is her being cheated on the gameshow.

I love how much Trudy's father is kind and understanding about Monk's issues and takes pride in him figuring it out.

[brunohenriqueazevedoborges]

I like that Monk is actually petty. He re-presses the button, like he did at the beginning of the episode by cleaning it.

[CyberKirby]

One of my favorite qualities about Monk that's never stated much is that he can be REALLY INTIMIDATING when he wants to be.

6:04 “you do it you’re fired” ABSOLUTE GOLD

[PimpMacSlickBac]

Trudy's parents always accepted & respected monk and his ways because Trudy did. They grew to love him, because trudy did. They are still amazed by him because Trudy was.

Imagine tuning into your favorite game show and it turns into a who done it law and order episode

[filipvadas]

Easily one of the best "gotcha" moments of the show.

The slow buildup, the glances between the actors perfectly conveying what the characters are thinking, the antagonists' plot slowly falling apart with the music on the background swelling and the reveal of what they'd both done with the evidence proving it at the end as the crescendo to it all.

Just masterclass, episodes like this make me wish the show had more seasons.

[mhsdrummer]

The buzzer at the end was so petty lol I love it

[rhettorical]

I remember seeing this live and immediately thinking about every game show I'd ever watched. Turns out they don't usually have the host holding cards with the answers (or usually even knowing the answers), probably because someone figured out this exploit ages ago.

[abjeft]

I love Trudys father’s reaction when he noticed Monk figured it out.

[theplasmawolf]

Straight face with pressing the buzzer at the end. That's cold, and brilliant.

[peckingorder]

The way he buzzes in at the end is just amazing

[DeshawnBeach]

6:04 “you do it you’re fired” ABSOLUTE GOLD. The buzzer at the end was so petty lol I love it.

[misterguru]

I've been looking for this scene for AGES! You guys did this on purpose! Well done, well done! Keep posting these clips!

[davidjames]

I love how Monk has no issue touching the buzzer with his finger yet holds the phone with a cloth. Great show which should have a return!

[walkingcubkid]

You will NEVER get any more well written tv shows like Monk. The show was one of a kind.

[Elroid]

Something that is always interesting to me is how Monk takes no pleasure in life... except when he's putting people in jail.

Such joy in that last moment.

[inanimatesum]

Definitely one of the more heartwarming episodes, you get to meet more people who respected and understood Monk, his father-in-law even helps out, we get more insight into Monk's relationship with Trudy, which makes the final few episodes all the more painful.
