I saw an advertisement for a new detective series on USA (a cable TV network) called Monk last night while watching Law and Order: SVU. It stars Tony Shalhoub (remember the taxi driver from Wings?) as a detective with OCD. Details can be found here.
I’m no fan of the USA network but this series looks very interesting. The fact that I like Shalhoub doesn’t hurt, either.
So I’ll be tuning in July 12 at nine to watch the two-hour series premier on <shudder> USA. Will you?
It does look amusing, and I like Tony Shalhoub, but I won’t go out of my way. If I happen to see it, great. If not, it’ll just mean I actually found something to do with myself. Heh.
Tony Shalhoub rocks my world, and a well-done quirky detective series is a joy forever. I sure will be watching.
I’ll give it a shot, the commercials look interesting, and Shalhoub is an entertaining actor. He was about the only source of real laughs on Wings, so who knows. I haven’t seen a good P.I. series since…well, I don’t know when. It’s about time for another one.
That Dead Zone show on USA surprised me by actually being pretty decent. Maybe USA is finally going to do some good original programming.
