It's a Gift and a Podcast Arielle Goldman and Alan White

Monk really comes out of his shell and is a decent bowler. 2 things we never expected to say about Monk.

Our ignominious return!

Stottlemeyer and Monk had some good chemistry in this episode

Natalie's line about the great ones playing hurt is total BS.

Natalie totally burned Monk when he asked her to do her job and she replied, "I'm busy doing yours."

An Ambrose episode! Yay! It's not as good as the last one, but we make do. 
We cover a Halloween episode on the 4th of July.

Hear me out.

Jason Alexander in a linen suit.

Ok. But what if he's wearing a wetsuit underneath it?

WHAT IF... He wears a life jacket on the wetsuit underneath a linen suit?

See? I didn't even mention that he huffs dog poop in the episode.

We spent a good while fawning over the cuteness of this kid (and his twin brother).

Alan's daughter is BEYOND spoiled.

Time for vacation. Off I go!!

We had episode amnesia for a minute today!

Sometimes it's hard to remember the little things, like how the crime was solved...
