After six years of getting his hands dirty and then vigilantly scrubbing them clean, Monk is gearing up—probably pretty carefully—for his last case.
USA announced Friday that it has picked up its Emmy-winning detective series Monk for an eighth and final season that will air next summer.
The "Characters Welcome" network has ordered up 16 episodes, and E! News is hearing that the finale will clue Monk in on who killed his dearly departed wife, Trudy, the tragedy that turned him into the OCD-addled mystery-solver who cable audiences have come to love.
"By many measures, Monk is the most successful series in the history of basic cable television."

The actor who plays Monk is an insufferable liberal, but the show he created is pretty excellent.
I really like this show...
Cast of Monk
The first times I saw it I did not like it and now it is one of my favorites....re runs and all........ looking forward to the return of Burn Notice
I have a close relative who has a lot in common with Monk. But he still sees the humor in the show.
I also like ‘The Closer’ on TNT...
But nothing will beat Columbo....a non-technical GOTCHA...
Uh, one more thing...Have a greeat day!!
Has watching 'Monk' helped your relative?
I think perhaps she meant diligently.
YOU TOO!
LOL
I really love the early Monk episodes with Sharona. Pretty much all those episodes are good. The last couple of seasons have been hit or miss, mostly miss.
Sharona was good, and I haven’t seen her in anything else lately.
'Sharona' with the cast...
"Sure, he's a hippy. But the kind of hippy that'll break into your office, beat you up and steal your chair kind of hippy."
I liked Sharona’s character. She and Monk had more chemistry than her replacement.
Never liked Sharona. That whiney voice. Blech.
That was great...
