I had some familiarity with this show before I saw this show.I'm not sure,but I might've caught this as a re-run,but nevertheless,I feel like this show may've been where the light went on for me in terms of thinking this show really was more than good but truly unique.
GUest star Amy Sedaris(an actress I've been in love with since "Exit 57" or at least "Strangers With CAndy")is the sister of Monk's assistant Sharonna. She's an aspiring stage actress,and on the opening night or week of the stage production she's in,she kills the male lead with what she thought was the prop knife she was supposed to attack him with. A case this seemingly closed would seem to be a waste of the brilliant,OCD detective's time. Seems is the operative word.
Directed by Ron Underwood,this show is a fantastic set up of a crime mystery as well as yet another great exhibition of Tony Shaloub's continual building upon the title detective,as well as good supporting turns for the rest of the regulars--Bitty Schramm as Sharonna,Ted LEvine as Styottlemyre and JAson Gray-Stanford as Disher--and a nice buffering guest support from SEdaris,Betty BUckley(As Sharonna and sister's mother)and Melissa GEorge(As the understudy).
To single out any show would probably somewhat of a pointless endeavor for this show. So many of these episodes are filled with brilliant writing and acting,but this show probably really caught my attention for this show. Assuming you enjoy this show as well,what's yours?
