It’s a long read, so take caution as you jump in, and be careful of spoilers if you haven’t seen something this week!

Tonight is the big premiere day of USA’s fantastic detective series – MONK and PSYCH. Up first on the 8th and final premiere of MONK, Elizabeth Perkins, from WEEDS, stars as Mr. Monk’s favorite child star all-grown-up as a boozy kind of whore in “Mr. Monk’s Favorite Show.” He is eventually hired to be her bodyguard and slowly comes to realize that she’s not the naive little girl she used to be.
