The first Monk webisode, Mr. Monk Goes to the Gym, is now available. Please share your thoughts here.

I went to your link for "Gym" and I clicked on "Gym" from there and I get a blank pop window and it doesn't play anything. I use a PC with Windows 2000. Is there a mistake with your link to the wepisode?

Wow nice pants

Make sure you have the newest version of the Flash Player and a broadband connection to properly view the video.

Did you see? He still had his clothes on under his sweats. I saw his shirt collar sticking out from under his sweat shirt!

That was great! Bring on the others!!!!

The webisode is funny. I like it.

It was very good, I liked it a lot.

I like those sweats too elaine!
Great clip!! I really thought Monk was going to lift weights, I was actually momentarily suprised when he started arranging them. I should have known!
Snapping his butt with a towel, LOL!
Poor Monk, surrounded by the horrors of sweaty nakedish bodies.

What was the guy with the weights saying? I couldn't understand him.

He was calling for someone to spot him because the weight was too heavy and he couldn't hold it.

Thanks. I downloaded the Flash link you gave me and it works. The Gym episode is fun. Can't wait for the next ones.

Very nice.

That was cute . . . but why are they calling it a Web exclusive when it aired during the show?

I like the cream colored suit, though it makes his shoes look dirty.
Webisodes would be great for outtakes. I hope they go more in that direction than being more like really long "characters wanted" promos. (I'm in the mood for another shoving match between Adrian and Harold, personally.)
But what was their budget for extras this week, phew! Put him back in the gym, change his shoes and make him run a few laps. No extras needed!

I think webisodes are a good idea--I just hope they will get better (and better). The "Mr. Monk Goes To The Gym" bit was a bit out of character for Monk plus I kinda don't believe he wouldn't help the guy lifting the weights (with some pallet jack or something!) when the guy couldn't hold it and yelled for a spotter! And then to have Monk tell Nat at the end that "It was a killer..." in answer to her inquiry of was it a good workout seemed, well, rather inappropriate as a promo DURING the actual, terrific, dynamite, super, fantastic, couldn't ask for more MONK Christmas episode! Now, that was A KILLER! Leaving the guy to be strangled by the 850 lb weights WASN'T!! Still, I do feel it's a great idea to have webisodes IF they then are shown later ON or DURING AN ACTUAL MONK EPISODE for those of us WHO DO NOT HAVE THE LATEST FLASH UPGRADE AND CANNOT EVER SEE THE USA Net Website pages for MONK, download any newer Flash programs, or thus see these clever NEW Monk Webisodes on-line!!!! Did I mention the MONK Christmas episode was grand and had everything we could have wanted!?

Monk caroling with that silly wax from the candle dripping on his hands, burning and bothering him was a riot along with the reasons both Nat and Adrian gave for not having more than just the two carolers at the woman's door: creative differences; religious connotations not acceptable, etc., etc. JUST GREAT! SUPER! (Lousy singing--and we all know Monk can sing MUCH better than he did at the door--but still GREAT!)

Cheers!

P.S. In the episode with Sharona when Monk told her that he could bench press several hundred pounds and asked what she could press leads me to kinda doubt that Monk wouldn't understand when a weight lifter was calling "Spotter!" just what the guy really needed....

hee hee !. monk looked rather uncomfortable in that gym didn't he. I wonder what compelled him to go there?

At first I thought it was going to be worked in as a kind of New Year's resolution thing--you know, get in shape, be physically fit... But then as he had a harder and harder time of just being there due to the sweat, the nakedish women, the locker room oders, I thought it would be a resolution he'd have to immediatly break--until he spotted the weights. Then we had Monk as dumb as a door knob just wiping the weight lifter's brow (while the weight lifter is calling for a spotter to help him get the weight off) and then walking out and depositing the wipe in the garbage can. Sure was a fast "hour" he told Nat he'd be there, wasn't it??--Lee

I thought it was a fast hour too, and I wondered what would posess Monk to want to go to a gym in the first place. Also he had no problem touching those weights he was rearranging when they must be full of germs.
But I still loved it. Seeing him in such a 'foreign' environment was good. The towel snap I particularly enjoyed.

I too think a trip to the gym is a lil' out of character for Monk, but the webisode was cute. I am slightly disturbed by the spotting incident but I guess they had to bring all the elements together in one tag. Overall, I think it's a great start and I can't wait to see more.

I love the new site and the webisodes!!

I especially like the picture of monk in the yellow rain jacket!!!

Hey boss man!
How often are we going to get new webisodes?
Not that I am needy or anything

I really like this webisode! I was wondering what the song in the background was though, the techno, cause I really like it.

I liked that music too. I also like the cream color of Adrian's sweats. I have never seen that color before , in sweats.

They should seriously sell Monk sweatshirts, that'd be awesome.

I liked the towel snap to the butt! That was my favorite part!

What was he doing when he first got there? Stretching? It looked so... awkward that it was silly. I felt embarrassed for Monk then, but wow, the towel snap.... That'd be me doing that to him

You'll have to fight me for the privilege of snapping his butt! LOL
