Just curious, but who all has met him, and where? I have not had the pleasure - yet!

Ashley

Neither have I, unfortunately

We wish!!

Neither have I... unfortunetely. But who knows, maybe will come the day, when I meet him?

I just met him on location for a new episode he was filming at a relatives house in California. I totally lost my mind after he shook my hand and I didn't get to tell him what a genius he is and how much I love the show or anything else! Ugh the humanity!!! But I do have pictures and that says a thousand words

Lucky You, Susan! What would I give to meet him... dreams

Yeah U lucky Susan! I hope someday to meet him...

We would love to see the pictures if you're able to post them. I don't know about everybody else, but I would also LOVE to hear all about the filming if you'd like to share that.

I've met Tony three times. Once in NY for the opening of his directorial debut Made-Up. Once in San Francisco when Monk was shooting here and once in L.A. for the amazing set visit.

Please.... post these pictures, it would be awesome, like it was with photos from episode Mr. monk and his Biggest fan, whixch fan made them all himself...

Not sure if I can post any pictures here or not. When we were on the set they told us to stop taking pictures, then later somebody told us that they didn't want to see the pix up on the internet. I don't know if they were joking or not but I would seriously hate to get in trouble in just a few short posts only to be kicked out. Is there anyway of asking or should I just do it and ask forgiveness?

Forgot to mention I had him sign a shirt it reads:

Sue...
...here's what happened...
Tony Shalhoub

Pretty awesome time.

Teresa, you have no idea how jealous I am of you! What an amazing experience!

Ashley

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Tony...yet! Someday I will, I just know it.

I have met his brother Michael at Monkfest, and I even call him a friend, as he does to me! He's a super guy, totally funny and down to earth.

I met Tony Shalhoub in June of 2007 and that was such an awesome day for me.

I remember you and no, we were not joking.

Hrm. I don't understand the dedication they put towards preventing people from posting pictures on the internet. Maybe I'm just too young to get it or have never been told why, but what's so revealing about posting set pictures?

I would love to meet Tony, but haven't. You are so lucky Susan! I think they don't want you to post the pictures since it was a set visit and they haven't shown the episode yet...at least I think that was what Doug was trying to say..

I imagine they don't want to give too much away this long before the episode airs. There might have been certain elements in the set that would be too revealing about the episode.

Not very politely I might add.
If you (Doug) are supposed to be helping the show you consider some charm classes.
Your reply was nothing short of rude.
I expect better out of someone representing Monk.
e

Oh well. Your avatar appears to be the picture of you and Tony, so they can't completely censor you! You look really happy. I guess I would have been, too! Tony does not appear to be in his regular constume - maybe what he is wearing would give something secret away if we saw it at a higher resolution.

Ashley

I don't think Doug intended to be rude, just very firm. Since she wasn't sure if they were joking the first time, it seems he wanted to make it absolutely clear.

Doug, after the episode airs will the injunction be lifted?

Ashley,

Meeting him was a total rush, knowing the amount of genius I was standing next to just blew me away. I didn't even notice his clothing but whatever he was wearing was after the shoot so nothing to do with the show.

Sue

I don't personally think it's a big deal, though. There's not much one can divulge with a picture or even a dozen of them. If there was a lot of information that could be revealed, wouldn't the human eye constitute as a camera of sorts? Sue, were you told not to speak about it? I see maybe a VIDEO camera should be banned...
It puzzles me a little... I guess because it doesn't seem that a picture or two spread about could harm anything. Might even create creative dialogs between fans, but that's about it. How different would it be from the seasons pictures we find before the episodes run?

I sensed a little hostility from Doug too, and that's what made me wonder why they guard it so vehemently. A simple 'Yes, we would appreciate it if you did not post these pictures for the public' is so much easier, because Sue did not know to begin with. 'I remember you and we weren't joking' sounds so Men in Black-ish.

Not trying to be snotty. Just curious. I do realize that most if not all sets do not allow photography.

Yeah, I understand the MONK people wanting to keep things a secret and all that, but it is only a TV show, not a matter of national security.

K100,

Wow, I just read your first fanfic and must say it was terrific! I could picture them in my mind like I was watching a tv.

I will be back to read the other one just running out of time.

Sue

OddJen,

No one on the set told us we couldn't speak about it. Although I feel uncomfortable telling about the script or the set but I guess I could tell of my experience, if anyone was interested.

Sue

You bet we are interested! Let's hear it!

Ashley

I'm interested too!

Me... three!

I'm interested too as others are

I will be back later and will start a new thread.

Sue

We can't stop people from posting pictures that they snap of filming. They're your photos and you can do as you like. However, if you are invited to set by us we politely ask that you adhere to our rules if possible. There's no veil of secrecy. It's just Monk. But we do like to have some control over images going out over the internet that show an unfinished product, or an unflattering pose of one of our stars. Posting too many pictures of the sets and actors is a sure way of getting the set visits nixed. Personally, I pick my nose on set A LOT, and I don't want pictures of me picking away to appear on a fan site.

NBC/U has a publicity dept., and it is their responsibility to disseminate photos to the general public.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean that to come off as rude. Was simply short of time and had to be succinct.

My apologies!

I'm gonna sound really dozy here, but i haven't been here for the weekend so: OMG you must have had a boss time!! If your gonna get into trouble for relaying this stuff, we shouldn't encourage it, cause i wouldn't want you to get into trouble just cause i was interested....very interested....extremely interested.

As i say, if this sounds stupid, i'll shut up, i'm going back to finish my work now anyway, seeing as i'm in school and i'm totally bored off my head Lol!!

It really was a great time. And I am just so excited to be able to share because my peeps around here are just plain tired of hearing me say 'I met Monk' or 'I met Tony Shalhoub' I can't imagine why????

My only hope is that I don't bore you all to death.

BTW, that pic of my AVI with Tony I am saying something like 'now I am having a really good time' and that was the truth. I mean I was happy to be staying right on the set and even happier to see the 'gang' but getting my picture with Tony's arm around me was really my peak of happiness!

No worries.
It's hard to judge intent in written words
I really appreciate you taking the time to reply at all.
e

Okay, getting seriously jealous now Lol!!
Was he really down to earth?

Oh don't worry i won't get bored at all, i like it when people share their good experiences, i liked reading about Teresa and Spinner's great time. Okay, i'm just going to go for my lunch now (the bell is about to go) cause i'm getting verrry envious!! Lol!! Nah i'm just kidding, i'm glad you had a great time.

P.s your Avatar is cool.... gotta go though now, i'll hopefully be back later, if i don't get loads more homework, i already have like three lots!!

....Pinkie....

Can we see it in higher resolution? Pretty please?

Ashley

Hey Ashley, i like your Avatar.

I just tried both links, but neither one worked. They both requested a user name and password.

Ashley

I can't open them. Maybe try put them on Flickr.com...

Okay I deleted the original post. I will try photobucket or flickr later today.

In the meantime try the direct link to my msn space.

http://ageiswisdom.spaces.live.com/Persona...px?_c02_owner=1

There shows that this is private...

It still requires a password.

Ashley

Ashley,

I just remembered that I put my space on private b/c I had MONK photos up and I didn't want to catch grief. Let me undo those and then try again please.

Sue

Try this link

Sue,

It worked! Great shot! Tony looks tired. How long had they been shooting that day?

Ashley

Ashley,

That day the pictures with Tony were taken was on Friday. They only had one scene but it took them 4 hours.

I added a few more photos to that link.

Sue

Yeah, this photos are so cool! Thanks. Well if they were wake up since 5 am or earlier (like me today I had to wake up at 4 am to prepare to school!) U would be tired too...as everybody...
I read sort of about the Aqua Dulce (in Spanish Sweet water) and it seems really great place,...

Great pictures! Thank you, susan .

Yeah i know how you feel, i got up a ten past four and was dressed and stuff by twenty past four, cause i couldn't sleep, now i'm out of it.

Okay i'll hopefully post tomorrow by have a nice evening and rest of the week too!!

....Pinkie....
