There he is! He seems to be looking the opposite way to everyone else.

I think he's trying not to get Ted-Levine'd.  We've all see Silence of the Lambs.  We know what he's up to.

He's been in California closing some corrugated-products supply deal with the office that produces Monk.

Open note to any Monk writers who happen to frequent this board.

It wouldn't be at all hacky to write a scenario (Christmas ep?) where Disher takes some lotion out of a gift basket and starts talking about how much he loves the smell of the lotion, and Stottlemyer says, "Put the lotion in the basket, Randy."


Well, it would be very hacky, but I would laugh my ass off.

If we are requesting things like this now, I vote for "Oh wait, was she a great big fat person", if you can somehow fit it in. Maybe Great Big Fat People could be the name of a club or something.

I've always had a thing for Traylor Howard. Good looking, nice lady.

See the last guy to the far right? The guy with his whole face in the frame? Look carefully at the person/object behind him. I am pretty sure that's a sock puppet wearing a barrister's wig. I was looking for another woman in the picture, and that was the closest I came.

That's one sensuous sock puppet.


Don't judge!

An official seal that appears to have the face of an angry Daffy Duck.

There is another Official Daffy Duck Barrister seal on the left side too.  It seems to be attacking a man's face.

P.S.  Re: "Put the Lotion in the basket," and "Is she a great, big, fat person?"  What about a scene where Monk has a dream that Stottlemeyer is some sort of roosterman asking "Would you pluck me?  I'd pluck me.  I'd pluck me hard."

Goodbye, Horses.

I saw Jason Gray-Stanford (Randy Disher) on some late night show and he was talking about how he and Russell Crowe were really good friends.  Ah, Hollywood!

I think it's pretty clear he's trying to figure out what happened to his hardhat in that picture.

Are we on to the last series of Monk? I can't remember where, but I think I read that they wanted to finish after 7.  :-\

Question for the board - does Tom's humor come through on Monk? I've never watched the show, but I'm about to start. Just wondered what you all thought.

I recognize Breckman in it more than Tom, though Mr. Scharpling's stamp is sometimes very evident.

Tom's humor is omnipresent on Monk, but since his humor is as wide as the ocean, the comic bone he pulls on Monk is so vastly different from his preferred mode of driving a call-in show, you don't often recognize it. I also assume he is funny around Jillian Barberie, but I doubt if he screams "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE" at her all that often.

Umm, I meant, why do you think Tom has anything to do with Monk other than supplying fine corrugated products? Now, it IS some of the funniest cardboard in the business.

Yeah, the Breckmanisms are definitely noticeable, and I don't think it's a coincidence that one of the most absurd episodes from last season (the one where Monk becomes a painter) was written by Wurster.

I had no idea Jonny W. had written one, much less that one.

Secondly, I had no idea that Stanley Kamel had died.   :'(  (I knew about Dr. Kroger)

I had to figure that Tom's brilliance showed through on the show. I never doubted that he represented nothing but the most finely honed cardboard. No surprise that Mr. Wurster would also be involved in the business.

You might stand a better chance of garnering respect for the guy if you spell his name correctly.

It's Shalhoub.

For shame.

Tom.
