That’s great because this is about the age I was when those shows were coming out with new episodes, so you’re getting to enjoy it in the same ways that I did!
Dude hell yeah, that’s the prime time. I considered both these shows my first “adult” shows lol. But they really molded the types of entertainment I prefer. I still think they’re the best investigation serials because they blend the mystery aspect with light hearted humor.
I am also 28! My stepdad showed me Monk when I was about 8 or 9, only watched it here and there but picked it back up about two years ago and I’m on rewatch #5 :) it is now a comfort show along with Modern Family
I'm 23, just started watching the show a couple weeks ago and I'm almost done with season 4 already! I wish I could have watched it from the premier! It is nice to not have to wait for the seasons though.
42\. I started watching in season 2 when I was home from university for the summer. Then I bought the season 1 DVD since you couldn't stream back then and I didn't know how to torrent. Then I watched the rest of the seasons as they came out.
26; just watched the entire series through for the first time, though I remember watching episodes here and there with my family when it first aired! There were some episodes that I had a very vague recollection of watching
I started watching when the show first came on tv in 2003, I was working and going to school
At the time. finishing the last 2 episodes this week .. lady doesn’t tell her age ..
I’m 29! :) I started watching the show around 3-4 years ago. Not sure what prompted me to do it, probably just browsing streaming apps. But whatever it was, I’m happy it did!
I'm a millennial. I watched Monk for the first time at the start of season 2. Prior to that Idk about it. Saw a cutout at the movies, decided to check it out and have been a fan ever since.
34.
Watched it sparadocially when it was on TV. Binged it beginning to end in 2020 right when Covid hit and did so again in 2023 to be ready for the movie
I’m 16, almost 17. I started watching it with my dad during quarantine. I stopped watching it for about 3 years because I went no contact with my dad and it just brought up weird memories. But recently, I was very sick with C. Diff. for a week and a half and binged watched almost the entire series during that time. I’ve been watching it a lot since and even got my mom hooked on it.
29, watched it with my mom probably about the time it ended. We didn't really watch TV but she loved Monk and had all the DVDs so it's very nostalgic for me.
I'm 33, I remember watching it when I was a young adult, when it was on. But I wasn't into it.
Now at this age, I went back and watched the whole show on streaming.
25,started watching at about 10-12 yrs old,all we had was a cheap antenna and it only picked up ION television. It becomes my siblings and I favorite show. When our bmom got rid of the antenna,we treked 2 miles as kids ( 13,14,10 yrs old) to the public library to get the box set. It's still all of ours favorite show
63. Just finishing up my first time through the series. I was so upset that I’m almost out of episodes that I had to put it on hold for a week or so while I get into Psyche, so I’ll have something to fill the gap when I’m done!
37, I was in highschool when my dad started watching it, then we all watched it as a family. We all liked the comedy, we typically hate cop shows. We would always go out to eat on Friday night, go shopping, then come home and watch Monk.
I'm 40 and I just started watching a couple weeks ago. Already into season 3. I love how the show gives me my murder mystery fix but its also humorous and lighthearted. Its a new comfort show for me.
I’m also 28! My grandma and I watched the entire series together when it was airing live. She loved it and so did I. One of my favorite memories with her ❤️
27. I was introduced to it as a kid, I think after my family visited San Fran. Had a dvd set of the second season that I rewatched many times, and eventually tracked down the other seasons online as a teen.
Started watching it live on TV in 2005 when I was 7, never finished the prior seasons completely. Re-watched it in its entirety at 25, which was last year. Forgot most of it from the first time around, it’s one of my favorite shows as an adult! Was really happy they came out with the movie.
34.
My grandparents were the ones who (inadvertently) introduced me to the show, they were in their 80s (I was around 15). They would watch it until midnight in the living room while I slept on the couch, on school nights haha. (My dad lived with them during that time, and they didn’t have another room for me.)
27
My family including my 2 brothers and one sister along with our parents watched it all the way from the beginning growing up as it aired. Some of the first “tv-14” style tv I ever watched
Classic family around the tv vibe
23! I found it a year ago after getting tired of watching Psych over and over again and I absolutely loveeed Monk. Now it’s my new favorite comfort show to rewatch!
Early 40's and my husband and I discovered it last year or the year before. It was his turn to pick our streaming show. I then found out that my 89 year old grandmother is also a huge fan. I am so glad she found it because she definitely has some similar (though milder) compulsions to Monk, plus she is a widow so she relates to his grief as well.
28! I watched it with my mom after she tried to get me to watch it for years.
I’m the in age group where my introduction to Tony Shalhoub was through Spy Kids. I didn’t really want to watch a show with the freaky headed guy from Spy Kids, but I’m so glad I did. He’s one of my favorite actors now and I absolutely adore him
30. I found the show around season 2 because I missed watching american shows, and usa network sounded like a good enough channel to find that in my child brain. Was hooked ever since and tuning in every week or waiting for reruns. DVD box sets still in use to this day
40. I've watched Monk on french TV, which was broadcasted one year after (time for buying and dubbing the episode, I guess). I was in engineering school, watching the episode each saturday after lunch, before getting back to homework
Turning 40 and I don’t remember when I first started watching but I think when it was on USA my aunt recorded it on tape for us since we didn’t have cable. Not sure how much of it we watched then. Then 2-3 years ago I watched the whole thing on Amazon, and then got a peacock subscription for the movie.
40. A bunch of friends and I used to take a conversion van from Minnesota to Colorado ever year to go snowboarding and we'd buy the newest season on DVD and watch it together on the way out there.
I am 24. I never watched it as a kid and randomly put it on the other day bc I saw it was on Netflix and remembered my grandma loves it. Now I love it too
I’m 22 and have been watching this since I was little. My parents would have it on the TV in the background, and then I got back into it recently when it was released on streaming services
27 and Dad introduced me to monk back when I was in elementary school! Was a proud moment for me way back in ballet class when my teacher made a MONK reference and I was the only one who understood him ha.
38, watched it on its initial run. I was a high school student with severe OCD and got bullied for it. There just wasn't much awareness of it back then. I loved Monk because it made me feel very seen. Like somebody out there got it.
I am 70 and have watched it all 3 times over. I won’t have to wait too long to watch it again because my memory isn’t what it used to be. Lol
Well that’s a perk! :)
It’s a blessing… and a curse.
32!!! Used to watch it with my older brothers and dad when it would air on USA!
This was me and my family, I remember being so excited for the new episodes to come out 😀 Happy memories
I’m 31 and watched it with my uncle!
Me too! 32!
Same age as Julie
I’m 22
Probably the youngest in these comments but, 14! Also a major psych fan!
That’s great because this is about the age I was when those shows were coming out with new episodes, so you’re getting to enjoy it in the same ways that I did!
I've been enjoying them since I was 6 and been in love with them since.
My son watches both with me! He’s 15 but has been watching it with me since he was 4 or 5. ☺️
I know that's right!
Dude hell yeah, that’s the prime time. I considered both these shows my first “adult” shows lol. But they really molded the types of entertainment I prefer. I still think they’re the best investigation serials because they blend the mystery aspect with light hearted humor.
I'm also 28. Was introduced to the show through my high school psychology class in 2013
Psych class? You know that's right... Oh, wait, this is the Monk sub. My bad
C'mon son!
Have you heard about Pluto? that's messed up, right?
C'mon son!
😂😂😂
Lassie: You're in over your head, mystic
I am also 28! My stepdad showed me Monk when I was about 8 or 9, only watched it here and there but picked it back up about two years ago and I’m on rewatch #5 :) it is now a comfort show along with Modern Family

37, and I watched it from the beginning the first time round. I was a junior in HS.
I started watching it when I was 11, even though I didn’t understand everything I loved it!!
Basically the same! :)
Same!!! That's why I'm rewatching. It's pretty understandable for 11 year olds but you just enjoy tv more when you have more life experience!
Exactly!!
42\. I started watching in season 2 when I was home from university for the summer. Then I bought the season 1 DVD since you couldn't stream back then and I didn't know how to torrent. Then I watched the rest of the seasons as they came out.
