Mr. Monk and the Game Show
With Sharona in New Jersey to visit her ailing mother, Monk is left in the very incompetent hands of his annoying upstairs neighbor, Kevin Dorfman, but the prospect of a week with Kevin is eased somewhat by a visit from Trudy's father, Dwight Ellison. Dwight invites Monk (and Kevin) to spend the week with him and his wife, Marcia – and at the same time investigate gameshow host Roddy Lankman, who appears to be involved in a conspiracy to allow one of his contestants, Val Birch, to win every game. Despite the memories of Trudy aroused by spending time with her parents in her former home and the questionable help of Kevin, Monk discovers evidence that Lankman visited Birch's house – and that Birch visited the site of the accident that killed Lankman's assistant, Lizzie Talvo.

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.
