It looks like the first few, at least, might be in memory of Stanley Kamel, which is a really nice thing. I love the part in garbage strike where Dr. K confronts Monk about sending him his garbage. And I think adding New Shrink to that list is a pretty classy thing to do. Cult and Buried Treasure and Daredevil are also pretty heavy with Dr. K. Thanks for posting Bubba.

Thanks USA!

I agree. It looks like the first few might be in honor of Stanley. That is a very classy and nice thing to do, in honor of such a classy and nice man! I am glad to see that USA did this. It is a good way to honor him. This makes me even more excited than I was before about the Season Premiere. I can't wait!!

I like how I have all of these episodes on DVD/DVR and yet I still think to myself "I should call off work that day to stay home and watch the marathon".

It sounds like a great day to watch and hang on the board at the same time. I haven't been here for a Monkathon yet -- do you do anything special?

I'm so excited that I woke up really early. Do you think we can gather here and watch together? I would be happy to be hostess and provide really square crackers and cubes of cheese. I also have square cocktail napkins with black and white squares on them. And square plates, too. I think I am ready. Anybody coming?

I love Garbage Strike. I still think it's the funniest episode.

And there's that great scene with Stanley Kamel.

Did everybody see the advert for the DVD collection?

I am living vicariously through you guys today so stop in periodically and keep me updated on what's going on with the marathon. I'll get my fix through you all.

I'm watching the marathon right now, and I love the Garbage Strike! It's so funny, and has so many funny scenes. I love how Monk sends his garbage to his doctor, when Leland realizes they are talking in the "whisper spot," how Leland has to keep changing his announcement about what happened, and the scene with Alice Cooper!

Great! Cheese and crackers, anyone? Summit Creek? Everyone comfy?

To those at work, remember when Kroger asks Monk if he is sending him his trash? It is sorted by color and food group? It is really funny to watch Monk "try" to lie. He can only avoid. Too funny.
Dr. K: I want it to stop.
M: Me, too. I want it to stop.

That is too funny you said that because I am sitting here right now eating cheese and crackers. LOL You guys should be watching the clean room scene right now (or you are pretty close anyway). I am picturing Leland getting out his yo-yo right now.

Hey did you see the clip from the first show? M and N are waiting in the outer office of Dr. Bell, watching the clock. Monk says, "If he's late, I'm leaving" or something close to that. And Dr. Bell comes to the door. Et voila, Hector Elizondro. Just a teaser, but very cool.

We're watching the "gets a New Shrink" epidsode. It just finished the scene where Harold is peering in the good doctor's home while Monk is on the other side of the house doing the same. That is one of my favorite scenes. Hilarious in a creepy sort of way!

The importer from next door gives away too much information to complete strangers (namely his view of the patients who Dr. K. would see.) Then Natalie gives away too much information by telling him that now they think maybe it wasn't a patient.

Why do we talk so much?

Buried Treasure and Bank. Kind of odd, isn't it?
