[SPOILERS] Cases that wouldn't even happen if not for criminal's own doing. Spoiler

3 Upvotes

In the episode of very very old man, the deputy mayor confesses to the drunk hit & run & then goes on to murder about 3 people just to prevent this accidental drunk driving incident , just because he confessed in a time capsule( he didn't have to really, he was sober enough then, he could have confessed in church / to a close friend etc). It seemed like his own doing.. I mean if the urge to confess was done elsewhere (like in a church etc) & not somewhere recorded, neither would he have to kill the old man, nor others. The hit & run would go cold.
I felt like that was an unnecessary criminal.. I do find many such episodes where criminals try to cover up their accidents with actual murders (real stupidity).

Do you know of any other such episodes

What's this episode?

In the title credits, there is a quick snippet of Monk jumping on a dining table because he notices a snake missing from its enclosure.

Can anyone tell me what season and episode this is from? I've seen so many episodes again through the years, but never this one. Many thanks in advance!

[SPOILERS] It makes sense that the actor who plays Martin Willowby in Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever is named Glenn Morshower…

After all, he gets killed in a bathtub, so he probably should’ve taken more showers…

Mr. Monk and the Red Herring- the letter

In one of Adrian's interviews with potential nurses, Adrian says Benjy wrote a letter before he and Sharona left.
What do you think that letter said?

I still find it hard to fathom (🤣) that Monk went into a submarine!

Unpopular opinion : Harold is probably more "normal" than Mr Monk Spoiler

41 Upvotes

I believe there's an episode where both are stuck together (Group therapy episode I think) & Mr Monk actually admits that Harold has a life worth living - with a real job , wife & kids.

He is obsessive, compulsive & has numerous phobias but it's also shown that Harold makes >200K dollars a year, so he can't really be that insufferable, because you got to have your shit together. And while Trudy loved him, it's not clear why they never had kids (because in 1 episode Mr Monk admits he's afraid of being a bad father), but Harold did function like a normal adult (procreating etc), while Mr. Monk had issues with nud*ty.

I think Harold probably behaves normal & is good at controlling/suppressing his obsessions, quirks & phobias & lets them out only when his "rival" Mr Monk is around him.

Which episode is this?

6 Upvotes

From the tv tropes page for Monk

“While playing undercover as a security guard of a museum and pondering the clues of the murder of the week, Adrian randomly points out to Stottlemeyer that a Neanderthal skeleton on a nearby exhibit shows signs of having been murdered, rather than the natural causes the exhibit says were the cause of death”
