What Parents Need to Know
About Monk
Parents need to know that this series includes subtle references to sex and drugs, as well as mildly violent scenes in which a murder is committed. The main character suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and is easily rattled by germs, chaos, and changes in routine, a fact that is sometimes played for laughs (albeit sympathetic ones).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how detectives solve crimes. What kind of methods do they use to find the perpetrator? Another good discussion topic would be Monk's OCD. Can kids imagine what it would be like to have the disorder? How does Monk balance his OCD with his work? Do kids think they'd be able to do the same in his position?

AwEsOmE
This show is entertaining and i watch it every friday except that this is the last season. it's not scary att all. The only bad thing is that there is usually one murder at the beggining. The murders aren't scary at all though. I defenetly recommend this for ages 10+.
