The Phoenix
Rising from the ashes of a season and a half of re-running the same 13 episodes, Monk is finally ready to begin anew with original episodes.
"Mr. Monk Goes Back to School"is the premier episode starting off the the second season tonight at 10 p.m. (EDT) on USA Network. Monk takes a job as a substitute high school teacher to determine whether a teacher's fall from a clock tower was really a suicide.
Credits: Andy Breckman (Executive Producer/Writer), Jason Gray-Stanford ("Lieutenant Randall Disher"), David Hoberman (Executive Producer), Ted Levine ("Captain Leland Stottlemeyer"), Bitty Schram ("Sharona Fleming"), Tony Shalhoub ("Adrian Monk").
I think it has taken an uncommonly long time to come up with more episodes; I wonder why.

Experimenting with time slots...?
The new season of Monk begins June 20. The USA Network, which is showing it, is apparently doing a sampling to determine the time slot in which most Monk fans are willing to watch it. So the premier episode "Mr. Monk Goes Back to School" will be shown not twice, not three times, but EIGHT TIMES between Fri.June 20 and Thursday June 26 -- at hours ranging from 11 a.m. to midnight or 1 a.m.
So which is it? kiddies or night owls?
Or maybe this has nothing to do with testing the waters... Maybe this is the early warning sign for what happens when you have 900 channels owned by five companies: they dont have 900 channels worth of stuff. So they will fall back on showing oh maybe 8-10 channels worth of stuff. More on channel ownership
