CharlestonJew posted:I remember really liking it when I was younger. For some reason the scene of Monk I always remember was the episode where he runs for mayor of SF, and everyone thought he was racist because he wiped his hands after shaking hands with a black guy (he wiped his hands after shaking everyone’s hands)

I actually noticed it in a scene when I was binge-watching Preacher.

I find Monk very relatable as exaggerated as it can be for precisely this reason.

I've got a great-uncle or something who wrote for Monk while it was airing. He's now working on that soulless Law & Order reboot. As far as early 2000s "ND Savant Procedural" shows go, possibly the best? I was always more a Psych fan. Worst procedural is Scrubs. gently caress Scrubs.

Panic!

Back to Monk: Youtube's Official Monk Channel has short tasters, but watch out because the video that plays by default has multiple episode spoilers. https://youtube.com/channel/UCJupYE9jI62gvmn4NSD3fDg

Nowadays we have a "special" doctor on TV. Am I wrong jn thinking doctors and police officers are the kinds of professions that shouldn't allow for that kind of thing? EDIT: Also Psych was better

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Him being good at mysteries is just because hes smart and observant. His being good at mysteries is because of his OCD he can immediately recognize anything out place which is always the clue for murder. Outpost22 posted:Psych was better Psych starts of strong, gets better, and then mid run they completely lose control of the show and it's terrible, and then the last season it comes back around to pretty good. During the terrible times, they basically ignore the premise of the show (Shawn is a pretend psychic ). There's also three psych tv movies because the entire entertainment industry is creatively bankrupt. Psych starts to suffer from the worn premise that if the main characters would just talk to each other every episode would be over in five minutes. BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:It was a show almost designed for middle-aged women to watch in the background while they do jigsaw puzzles especially the Natalie seasons so yes I've watched Psych and Monk straight through, and I couldn't tell you what happens in a single specific episode. Probably most were watched while folding laundry.

Now I'm imagining a law procedural centering around Chuck McGill. He can't go near electricity but he solves crimes anyway

I remember these shows running simultaneously and getting lumped in with Burn Notice on the same network and even though it had a wildly different premise and tone it still felt kinda samey along with the other two. They're all good laundry folding shows.

Are there even any American detective shows airing right now? The most recent I can think of is Castle which ended 6 years ago. Psych ended 8 years ago. Bosch was more recent but season long mysteries are a different beast entirely and not laundry folding compatible Elementary was decent but lol Sherlock Holmes yet again

They basically have the same voice and impish nature There was some talk circulating around last year about her being the perfect choice for a Columbo reboot; make her Columbo's daughter, have her swagger around in her dads old coat, have the occasional Kate Mulgrew cameo where she reminisces about her crazy detective ex-husband, which then leads to the AHA moment that solves the case. It writes itself!

That's all well and good but it ignores the fact that Columbo lived alone in a studio apartment and his references to his wife/family are all just a ruse.

Yaldabaoth posted:America really needs to stop making TV shows set in its largest cities unless the characters are all super rich. it would be fun to see a sitcom montage of happy people in the big city but make it obvious they all have a lot of money and are lording over everyone, really dig the screws in on the viewer just happy laughing people in brightly colored clothing walking past the homeless or working parents with three jobs
