I guess what I'm really asking is....what are the episodes with Best Show references.

There are some WFMU references but I can't recall any specific Best Show references, though I haven't seen every episode.

The episode where Andy Richter and Munch become pals is great too.

Isn't that the one that Jon Wurster wrote?

That's the one I mentioned upthread, Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece.

I don't know any Best Show references, but at one point a character asks Monk "Is this going to be a long story?".

Which of course is a Frangry reference.

Yeah, you can hear a voice sometimes, but there aren't overt references.

I've heard Best Show references. There are multiple tidbits that can be found in the episode with the shock jock ("zung", "toilet talk"). I know I've definitely heard someone call someone else "soft-serve". In a Halloween episode, a kid asks for peanut chews. Nothing really overt, but little words and phrases that are used fairly often on the show.

TE, can I please point out that the scenario I assume you meant, where Andy Richter and Monk become friends, is far less interesting than if Andy Richter became friends of Munch, the detective from shows like Homicide and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit?

That's what I meant by "voice."  There are little turns of phrase and bits of vocabulary that are clearly from the TBS and SSD, but there are direct references to neither show.

P.S.  What about a friendship between Andy Richter and Edvard Munch?

All four. Richter, Monk, Munch and Munch. They'd take over the Sierra Mist commercials.

Did everyone already know that Monk was ending after the next season? Cause I didn't.
