Emmy-winner Tony Shalhoub stars in this premiere episode of the critically-acclaimed comedy-mystery series Monk. Afflicted with obsessive compulsive disorder, Monk is unable to function within the confines of the police force. But that doesnt stop him from being a brilliant sleuth, and the police captain knows it and calls him in to assist in a high-profile murder case. Bitty Schram and Ted Levine also star. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
