I love this episode. It's the only one that I can remember where I laugh and cry during it. I love the part where they (Monk, Natalie and Tommy) are in the restaurant and Tommy is trying to eat the hot dog - hilarious! Then I cry at the end. The boy who played Tommy was perfect for the part. It's a great episode and one that I enjoy watching over and over.

yes one of my favorites also...Monk and Tommy should be reunited in some form.

I think this is a favorite for everyone.

I agree!! I love when he reads to Tommy for the summation!!

This episode is also one of my favorites. However, maybe someone can help me. I am trying to find out the name of cd Monk is playing in the background while he is trying to put Tommy to sleep. I would love to have it for my son.

Exactly.
The writers did an excellent job on this episode. They are very creative.
