Much prefer the jazzy Season 1 theme tune to the later "It's a Jungle Out There", which always struck me before as one of my least favourite assets of 'Monk' but has since grown on me, which should have been kept. Visually, the episode is shot in a slick and stylish way, and the music is both understated and quirky. The case is a strong one and avoids being too conventional thanks to the chemistry between Monk and Monica, with a well done final solution that isn't easily guessable and isn't convoluted either. Can't help loving Monk's response to being asked whether everything has to make sense, a lot of people would relate to that. The chemistry between Monk and Monica that is the driving force of the episode and also what makes it story-wise. The mix of hilarious wry humour, lovable quirkiness and tender easy-to-relate-to drama is delicately done but extremely deft. Another star is the writing, which is also essential to whether the show would be successful or not and succeed it does here. Also by a very amusing, and sometimes even funnier than that, Ted Levine, what a difference from his Buffalo Bill in 'The Silence of the Lambs', while Jason Gray-Stanford is almost up there with the other three leads though his material isn't always as inspired in general. There is always a debate at who's better between Sharona and Natalie, personally like both in their own way and consider them both attractive though as of now leaning towards Natalie as the better acted and more attentive of the two. Who can't help love Monk's brilliant mind too? He is very well supported by a sharp and no-nonsense but also sympathetic Bitty Schram, whose Sharona makes for a worthy and entertaining partner for Monk's sleuthing and somebody with a maternal side. Monk and the Other Woman, The prime suspect in the three murders of a lawyer, his assistant, and his disgruntled client is Monica Water. It is remarkable here that right from the first episode to when the show ended that one likes him straight away, even with his quirks and deficiencies that could easily have been overplayed, and also that he is better developed than most titular characters of other shows at this particular stage. Have always loved the balance of the humour, which is often hilarious, and pathos, which is sincere and touching. One of the best things about 'Monk' has always been the acting of Tony Shalhoub in the title role, it was essential for him to work and be the glue of the show, and Shalhoub not only is that but also at his very best he IS the show. "Mr Monk and the Other Woman" is one of the best episodes of the season and a personal favourite of the show too. Season 1 is a very solid season, which is really impressive considering how quite a number of shows have rocky first seasons where it takes time to settle, whereas 'Monk' is one of the rarities that has had everything so well established so early on. "Mr Monk and the Other Woman" is another Season 1 classic, is what 'Monk' is all about and reminds me of what I love and watch the show in the first place.
