The Monkees
Brushed off by critics during their heyday in the late 1960s as manufactured and lacking talent, the Monkees experienced a critical and commercial renaissance two decades later. A Monkees TV show marathon ("Pleasant Valley Sunday") was broadcast on February 23, 1986, on the then five-year-old MTV video music channel. In February and March, Tork and Jones played together in Australia. Then in May, Dolenz, Jones, and Tork announced a "20th Anniversary Tour" produced by David Fishof and they began playing North America in June. Their original albums began selling again as Nickelodeon began to run their old series daily. MTV promotion also helped to resurrect a smaller version of Monkeemania, and tour dates grew from smaller to larger venues and became one of the biggest live acts of 1986 and 1987. A new greatest hits collection was issued, reaching platinum status.
Monk (season 6)
The sixth season of "Monk" originally aired in the United States on USA Network from July 13, 2007, to February 22, 2008. It consisted of 16 episodes.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was viewed by an estimated number of 4.8 million viewers with a 3.5 household rating. This rating made it the highest rated program on cable television that night. Although Judith S. Gillies, writing for "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", pointed it debuted in a period when other networks offer less competition, "Broadcasting & Cable"s writer Allison Romano said the numbers were "impressive".
Quiver (Monk album)
Quiver is the debut album by Monk, released in 1997. It was Ric Hordinski's first release after leaving Over the Rhine in 1996.
The Monks (UK band)
Their first album, "Bad Habits", was recorded and released in 1979 after the success of "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face", which reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was a demo that was not intended for release. It was offered to another band who turned it down before a French record label released it in its original form. Ford later commented in "Mojo" magazine that "it was a bit of a problem when it was a hit." The album failed to produce further UK chart success, however — the British punk audience turned against the band, dismissing them as inauthentic punks, once it became widely known that they had been associated with the Strawbs. In an appearance on the television programme "Juke Box Jury", Johnny Rotten derided the Monks as "patronizing rubbish" and as a poor imitation of The Sex Pistols.
The Monk (1990 film)
"Le Moine", Ado Kyrou, (1972). Luis Buñuel and Jean-Claude Carrière attempted to film a version of "The Monk" in the 1960s, but the project was halted due to lack of funds. Buñuel's friend, the Greek director Ado Kyrou, used this script as the basis for his 1972 film version. "Le Moine" (English: "The Monk") boasted an international cast with Franco Nero in the title role. The film also starred Nathalie Delon, Eliana de Santis, Nadja Tiller and Nicol Williamson.
Monk (season 6)
Stanley Kamel returned for his final season as Monk's psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Kroger. After Kamel's death during the hiatus following the sixth season, writers for the seventh season chose to have the character also die of a heart attack. Emmy Clarke continued to portray Natalie's daughter, Julie Teeger, and Sharon Lawrence completed her run as Stottlemeyer's girlfriend, Linda Fusco. Melora Hardin portrayed Trudy Monk, Monk's deceased wife. Ray Porter took over the role of Dale the Whale, a part formerly held by Adam Arkin and Tim Curry. Sarah Silverman returned as Monk's number-one fan and founder of the Monk-o-Philes, Marci Maven after a three season hiatus. Silverman earned an Emmy nomination for this role. Tim Bagley reprised his role as Harold Krenshaw, Monk's number-one rival. Cody McMains also returned for a second appearance as Troy Kroger, Dr. Kroger's teenage son. Larry Miller made a second appearance as Garrett Price, Monk's lawyer, since his first appearance in season 3.

Stanley Kamel
Kamel was most recently known for his role as Dr. Charles Kroger in the USA Network television series "Monk", playing the infinitely patient and ever-supportive psychiatrist to the main character, Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub).

Monk (comics)
The Monk made his first appearance in "Detective Comics" #31 (September 1939) and was created by Gardner Fox, Bob Kane, and Sheldon Moldoff. He is one of the earliest significant villains of the "Detective Comics" series, and his battle with Batman is one of the Dark Knight's first multi-part adventures. In his earliest appearance, the Monk is depicted as a vampire who wears a red, monk-like outfit with a hood that bears a skull and crossbones. Later depictions establish that Batman believes that the Monk only pretends to be a vampire, but he does possess skills to hypnotize others.
The Monkees (TV series)
A second, massive resurgence occurred when a "Monkees" marathon aired on February 23, 1986 on MTV. Within months, the 58 episodes were airing regularly throughout the United States on local stations (in edited form), Nickelodeon/MTV (uncut), as well as Canada on MuchMusic. Dolenz, Tork and Jones, already reunited for a "20th Anniversary Tour", went from playing small clubs to stadiums as the series caught on, and the tour drew critical praise. The popularity led Columbia Pictures to create a "reboot" version of the franchise in 1987, "New Monkees", but it flopped and was cancelled after a half season.
Monk (season 3)
Tony Shalhoub returned as the titular character and OCD detective, Adrian Monk. Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford reprised their roles as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Randall "Randy" Disher, respectively. Bitty Schram portrayed Monk's nurse, Sharona Fleming, for the first half of the season, but left due to a contract dispute. Traylor Howard was then cast as Natalie Teeger in a main role as Monk's new assistant. Andy Breckman, the show's creator, stated, "I will always be grateful to Traylor because she came in when the show was in crisis and saved our baby [...] We had to make a hurried replacement, and not every show survives that. I was scared to death."
Andy Breckman
Breckman's biggest success, "Monk", was a murder-mystery with a humorous edge. Breckman told "New Jersey Monthly" that he was a voracious reader of the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, John D. MacDonald, and other authors of “solvable” mysteries, as well as being a big fan of the TV series "Columbo". “In a way, it’s similar to comedy writing,” he says. “It’s puzzles and puzzle solving. Very logical.” In August 2009, USA Network launched "Little Monk", a spinoff series that portrays the main character, detective Adrian Monk, as a child. Breckman was part of the show's team of writers.
Monk (Berkshire cricketer)

The Monk
The fourth edition of the novel was published in 1798, and, according to Peck, “contains nothing which could endanger the most fragile virtue... He expunged every remotely offensive word in his three volumes, with meticulous attention to "lust". Ambrosio, formerly a "ravisher", becomes an "intruder" or "betrayer"; his "incontinence" changes to "weakness" or "infamy", his "lust" to "desire", his "desires" to "emotions". Having "indulged in excesses" for three editions, he "committed an error" in the fourth.” Lewis wrote an apology for "The Monk" in the preface of another work; as recorded by Peck:
“Without entering into the discussion, whether the principles inculcated in “The Monk” are right or wrong, or whether the "means" by which the story is conducted is likely to do more mischief than the "tendency" is likely to produce good, I solemnly declare, that when I published the work I had no idea that its publication "could" be prejudicial; if I was wrong, the error proceeded from my judgment, not from my intention. Without entering into the merits of the advice which it proposes to convey, or attempting to defend (what I now condemn myself) the "language and manner" in which that advice was delivered, I solemnly declare, that in writing the passage which regards the Bible (consisting of a single page, and the only passage which I ever wrote on the subject) I had not the most distant intention to bring the sacred Writings into contempt, and that, had I suspected it of producing such an effect, I should not have written the paragraph.”
Temptation of a Monk
Temptation of a Monk ("You Cheng") is a 1993 Hong Kong period drama movie directed by Clara Law based on Pik Wah Lee's novel of the same name.The movie had Joan Chen and Hsing-Kuo Wu in the lead roles.

"Monk" was originally envisioned as an Inspector Clouseau type of show by an American Broadcasting Company (ABC) executive.

This was inspired by his own bout with self-diagnosed obsessive–compulsive disorder. Initially, Michael Richards was considered, but ABC and Touchstone (now ABC Studios) worried that the audience would typecast him for more comedic roles after his previous work as Cosmo Kramer on the sitcom series "Seinfeld". Hoberman revealed that the casting sessions were "depressing". USA Network's executive vice president Jeff Wachtel stated that looking for the right actor to portray Monk was "casting hell". After two years of search, the producers still had not found an actor to play the part.

In the DVD commentary for the television special, Dolenz noted that after filming was complete, Nesmith gave Tork a gold watch as a going-away present, engraved "From the guys down at work." (Tork kept the back, but replaced the watch several times in later years.)

Monk (season 1)
The first season of "Monk" originally aired in the United States on USA Network from July 12 to October 18, 2002, which consisted of 13 episodes. Tony Shalhoub, Bitty Schram, Ted Levine, and Jason Gray-Stanford were introduced as portraying the main characters. Tony Shalhoub portrayed Adrian Monk, the title character, an OCD homicide detective from San Francisco, who was removed from the force after the murder of his wife. A DVD of the season was released on June 15, 2004.
Adrian Monk
Monk's delicate mental condition means that his ability to function can be severely impaired by a variety of factors. One example is shown during the season 5 episode "Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike", in which the smell of garbage prevents Monk from being able to easily identify the murderer of sanitation union boss Jimmy Cusack, eventually causing him to have a psychotic break. Another example: when entering a chaotic murder scene in the episode "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale", his first impulse is to straighten the lamps, though he is frequently able to hold off his fixations when examining bodies or collecting evidence. Even though Monk's mental state in the series is said to be a result of his wife's death, he shows signs of OCPD in flashbacks dating back to childhood. To deal with his OCPD and phobias, Monk visits a psychiatrist – Dr. Charles Kroger (Stanley Kamel) in the first six seasons and Dr. Neven Bell (Héctor Elizondo) in the last two seasons – weekly, and at several points, daily. Moments of extreme stress can cause Monk to enter a dissociative state, as seen in the Season 1 episode "Mr. Monk and the Earthquake"; he begins speaking in gibberish during these periods, severely hindering his investigative skills.
The Monk
A stage adaptation by Benji Sperring for Tarquin Productions ran at Baron's Court Theatre, London, from 16 October to 3 November 2012.
Psych (season 1)

After "Kojak's" cancellation, the slot was replaced by hit series "Monk". The show was entering its fifth season, and received very high ratings in the Friday timeslot. Hoping that "Psych" would share in "Monk's" successful ratings, USA Network executives moved the fifth season to a 9:00 P.M. slot on the same day, airing directly before "Psych". The pairing was well-received, being called a "well-written comedy-mystery block that comprises some of the best two hours on television".
Monk (season 2)
Andy Breckman continued his tenure as show runner. Executive producers for the season included Breckman and David Hoberman. Universal Network Television was the primary production company backing the show. The instrumental theme (written by Jeff Beal) was replaced by "It's a Jungle Out There" by Randy Newman.

They had previously worked on the 1991 film "Barton Fink" and in a 1998 off-Broadway production of the play "Waiting for Godot". Shalhoub also lived with the Turturros while working on an East Coast project. As one of the executive producers of "Monk" by time, Shalhoub personally contacted Turturro. Turturro was also encouraged to the take the role by his family; he declared, "My whole family likes the show. My (13-year-old) son likes the show." After they sent off the episode's script to him and his acceptance, Turturro, who Shalhoub thought "liked the sound of the character," worked with the series "for about four or five days", as Shalhoub cannot precisely remember.

The Monk (1990 film)
The Monk (also known as The Final Temptation or The Seduction of a Priest) is a 1990 historical drama film directed by Francisco Lara Polop and starring Paul McGann and Sophie Ward. Based on the 18th century Gothic novel "The Monk" by Matthew Gregory Lewis, it was adapted for the screen by Polop, and employs the common depiction of the 18th century representing “the stately, the lavish, the sensuous, and even the lubricious.” In this way, "The Monk" can be seen as a heritage film, in which “the past is delivered as a museum of sounds and images, an iconographic display,” though these films are sometimes discredited as attempts to “transform the past into a series of commodities for the entertainment market.” The film was Lara Polop’s last as a director, and continues the themes of eroticism and horror found throughout his works.
The Monk

Monk (TV series)
USA Network premiered a ten-episode online series entitled "Little Monk" on August 22, 2009. It includes Adrian Monk and Ambrose Monk during their middle-school years, bringing a back story to Monk's detective skills and phobias. As they would have been middle schoolers in the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, viewers will see anachronisms; the various cars seen in the episodes, as well as some of the clothes, do not belong to the period.
Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan
Written by Andy Breckman and directed by Randall Zisk, "Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan" was shot in New York. When the episode first aired in the United States on USA Network on June 18, 2004, it was watched by 5.5 million viewers. The episode garnered a mixed reaction from critics, praising the comedy obtained through putting Monk in a scenario that would arouse his fears while criticizing Monk's exaggerated reactions to the setting.
The Monks
In November 1999, to coincide with the release of "Five Upstart Americans", the Monks, along with vocalist Mike Fornatale, reformed to headline "Cavestomp" in New York City, an annual event that resurrects garage bands of the 1960s. The three-day function also featured the Chocolate Watchband and the Standells, and marked the Monks' first performance in the United States—32 years after the group disbanded. Critic Jon Pareles of the "New York Times" wrote Burger could no longer reach the high-falsetto parts, but "otherwise they were untouched by time or fashion". On October 31, 2000, tapes of the concert were released on the live album "Let's Start a Beat – Live from Cavestomp".
