Monk falls into the "not quite copaganda" category with Columbo, imho
they're just weird little guys who really want to solve mysteries

Monk is great, every episode is like "hey Monk, I don't think we need you on this one, Mr. Smith was a baker and he baked himself into a pie" "but captain, he's still wearing shoes. If I was gonna bake myself into a pie, I'd take off my shoes first" "god damnit randy, he's wearing shoes!"
Monk may be copangada, BUT the fact that it takes time to piss on CSI for being stupid bullshit is pretty great

Good numbers at the physical. Treating myself to finally trying the Garlic Knot sliders at the new pizza/Italian joint down the street. These things are insane!

Quite an achievement to write an entire feature on costume without crediting designer, director or actor, or even using the term 'Costume Designer' #nakedwithoutus

If the new season commits to the theme the trailer is promising, this revival is going to emotionally destroy me.

#OneoftheTwo imagine mocking cancer survivors for masking. I’m a cancer survivor who is immunocompromised, and got long covid after my first infection. Covid is especially dangerous for people with cancer and who have had cancer and I would rather protect my already damaged immune system.
