Mr. Monk Fights City Hall: Season Finale Preview
February 18, 2009 by Chandra
As sad as it is to say, we’ve finally reached the end of the road for the next-to-last season of Monk. “Mr. Monk Fights City Hall,” the Season Seven finale, premieres this Friday, February 20, at 9pm EST, and the next season will be the show’s eighth and last. So, let’s enjoy what we have now while we can.
The finale features the return of Adrian Monk’s rival in psychosis, Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley), when the parking garage where Monk’s beloved wife Trudy was killed is scheduled for demolition. Intent on preventing that from happening, Monk intervenes and takes his case all the way to city hall.
In the process, he not only bumps into Harold yet again, but he also quickly finds himself emboriled in another mystery, this one revolving around the disappearance of a city official crucial to preserving the parking garage. Jon Polito (Raising the Bar, Homicide: Life on the Street) guest stars, as well.

‘Monk’ and ‘Psych’ Spread Some Holiday Cheer
November 28, 2008 by Chandra
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, there’s only one better way than Black Friday to kick off the holiday season properly: with the now traditional year-end return of USA Network’s Monk and Psych for their respective crowd-pleasing midseason holiday specials.
First up is Team Tony Shalhoub at 9pm EST, who bring us “Mr. Monk and the Miracle.” Neither Adrian Monk nor Captain Stottlemeyer believes in miracles, until a little intervention from fate.
In the case of the OCD detective, he decides to take on an inspiring mystery involving the murder of several homeless men’s friend, courtesy of Natalie’s intervention. And Stottlemeyer experiences renewed faith when a fountain at a monastery appears to get rid of his chronic pain.
Following at 10pm EST is Psych and “Christmas Joy.” Shawn and Gus’ title happiness over supposedly saving Christmas is almost ruined when the mall Santa they help a young girl get out of jail turns out to be a common con artist, as is the child.
