Monk, P.I.

That was sweet!

I have a slightly different view of the promo than others. I've never seen the show (Monk), but as a strong MPI fan I see it as a bitter-sweet tribute. Yes, they are paying homage to the greatest TV show of all time, but in doing so I feel a little bit slighted. Why after all the YouTube’s, internet, the popularity of the Jesse Stone movies, The appearance of Manetti, Moseley, and Selleck together on Las Vegas, this website, and now the ad for Monk, can't the powers that be come to their senses and give us an original cast movie, if only a made for TV movie. Which by the way, is where MPI belongs. I'm happy that the Monk ad paid tribute to MPI, but as a fiercely loyal MPI fan, I'm extremely upset that we have been deprived of our reunion. I know it's been stated before many times, but I want the original cast, The Anderson Estate, the Ferrari, The helicopter, the Rolex, the Lads, all of it revisited.

Awesome post, I wholeheartedly agree!

My wife and I have been MPI fans forever. Best Buy had a special and we bought and just watched seasons 1-8. I'm grateful for the appearance on LV, but it's no substitute for a real reunion which loyal fans deserve.

Monk is a really cool and funny show. Anyone that likes murder mysteries should try it out.

I don't want a movie if it's anyone other than Selleck. After having watched Harrison Ford in the latest IJ movie, I'm not sure I want to taint the memory of MPI. Nothing against aging starts but it just ain't the same (and neither am I physically!). I too would prefer a TV type of show or movie, regardless of likelyhood.

Besides that, I hear McConaughey is slated to be TM and my skin crawls at the thought. I am no fan of his and that's all I've got to say about that.

I also enjoy Monk and am happy that such a relatively clean show in this day and age can continue to be so popular. I guess seeing your heroes reappear as old men can be bittersweet. I thought Harrison Ford did a great job in IJ4 and he's ridiculously fit, but he's in his 60's and it did come as a bit of a shock to see that. I'm happy they made the movie even though it wasn't as perfect as I had hoped it would be. God, I wish they could have coaxed Sean Connery out of retirement.

I actually like Matthew McConaughey as an actor, but he's an acquired taste. I liked him in Fool's Gold, Ring of Fire, and even Contact. However, there's no way he can fill Tom's shoes. End of story.
