I heartily recommend Monk, the t.v. show, for a little summer relaxation. I just heard about it a month or two ago, but have been compulsively working my way through the first three seasons. They’re great, and I finished them just a week before season four will start, next friday. Can’t wait!
I really don’t even like TV, the only other show I can bear to watch is Arrested Development, and maybe the daily show once a week. But there’s just something about Monk. I love it.
