Part 1, Mr. Monk Is On The RunRating: 3 likes, 0 dislikes Driven by grief, Mr. Monk overcomes some of his OCD difficulties and confronts demon phobias when a clue from a crime scene freshens the trail leading to his wife's killer: a man with a six-fingered hand. Inadvertently, Monk is jailed for murder, committed with his gun, only he never pulled the trigger. Instead, Monk is the fall guy who leads law enforcement on an incriminating-looking chase when he escapes in his loud orange jumpsuit & manacles. Despite some help from coworkers, things look bad for Monk as gunfire erupts between himself and law enforcement and he takes a long fall off a short pier into the water below, ending on a cliffhanger - or, should I say, pierhanger? No, I shouldn't. So, look out for the scruffy sheriff who is trying to frame him: what was his self-serving motive? Who hired the hit on Monk's wife, and why? Who will buy four more ounces of orange juice? Instant karma's gonna getcha if you don't, so stay tuned. Read more Review posted on Wednesday, February 20th 2008 at 8:32 am
