  • Season 1

    2002

    He’s ingenious, he’s phobic, and he’s obsessive-compulsive. Adrian Monk’s offbeat antics have made him unfit for duty but he’s back as a San Francisco police consultant to help out on their most baffling cases. The brilliant but neurotic Monk is now fighting crime as well as his abnormal fears of germs, heights, crowds and virtually everything else known to man.

  • Season 2

    2003

    Defective detective Adrian Monk returns to solve a new batch of baffling mysteries with his trademark wit, wisdom…and hand wipes. Accompanied by his loyal (and infinitely patient) assistant and the San Francisco police force, Monk and his unconventional methods may just be what’s needed to crack some of the city’s most puzzling and unusual cases.

  • Season 3

    2004

    Adrian Monk is back, and he’s ready to battle any crime…as long as it doesn’t involve germs, heights or other people.

  • Season 4

    2005

    Private detective Adrian Monk has brains, instincts, a photographic memory and more than a few obsessive-compulsive disorders. These traits, his ever-present handy wipes and his devoted assistant, Natalie Teeger, help him as he solves cases involving amnesia, betrayal, first loves, true loves and of course, murder. Along with Capt. Stottlemeyer and Lt. Disher, Monk is on the case and more germaphobic than ever.

  • Season 5

    2006

    Gumshoe Adrian Monk would never actually have gum on his well-polished shoes: in addition to intellect and instinct, he also has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Though his eccentric traits bewilder his colleagues Natalie Teeger, Captain Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher, Monk’s attention to detail keeps crime—and grime—off the streets.

  • Season 6

    2007

    Brilliant but phobia-laden detective Adrian Monk never lets his obsessive-compulsive disorder stop him from solving a crime in the most ingenious way imaginable.
