Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month
When Edna Coruthers, a model employee at a giant chain store called Mega-Mart, is killed by a falling television set, Monk is called in to investigate by the store's security chief – who turns out to be his disgraced ex-partner, Joe Christie. Neither Monk nor Stottlemeyer wants to work with Christie, whom they hold responsible for some missing cocaine and the death of two police officers, and both of them disregard the evidence that Edna might have been murdered – a broken shoe heel (suggesting that the victim ran from someone or something), her dust allergy (which normally kept her from entering the loading dock where the death occurred), and the three letters (in different handwriting but with similar stamps) complaining about the victim. Twenty-seven days later, realizing that the stamps were all from the same roll and therefore from the same person, Monk reluctantly agrees to help Christie discover a suspect and a motive by working undercover as a store clerk.

The classic American crime drama "Ironside" made waves during its original run from 1967 to 1975, captivating audiences with its compelling storylines and unforgettable characters. The series stars the legendary Raymond Burr as Chief Robert T. Ironside, a brilliant detective who becomes paralyzed from the waist down after a violent encounter. Rather than allowing this life-altering event to define him, Ironside takes on the role of a consultant for the San Francisco Police Department, showcasing not only his immense intellect but also his unwavering determination to fight for justice.
In Season 1 of "Ironside," viewers are introduced to an ensemble cast that includes talented actors such as Don Galloway as Detective Sergeant Ed Brown and Barbara Anderson as Officer Eve Whitfield. Their dynamic relationships add depth to each episode, which revolves around various intriguing cases ranging from thefts at race-tracks to murder investigations involving high-profile personalities. Each storyline is crafted with precision, drawing viewers into a world where intellect triumphs over physical limitations, making it a trailblazer for future representations of disabled characters on television.
The first season kicks off with an exciting premiere episode where a significant amount of money is stolen right under Ironside’s nose at a race-track event. As he and his team investigate this high-stakes crime, they uncover layers of deception connected to an inside man—setting the tone for the thrilling mysteries that lie ahead. Subsequent episodes explore darker themes, including serial killers targeting vulnerable women and corrupt gangsters facing their final reckoning before turning state evidence. This variety keeps viewers engaged and invested in both the overarching narrative and individual character arcs.
