    I’ve been rewatching Monk, and something that really struck me is how much of the plot is based on coincidences, and it really makes it easy to pick out the killer. I was watching an episode where Captain Stottlemeyer mentions offhand an unsolved murder at a golf course, and later on someone Monk is talking to has a golfing trophy. Immediately knew it was him because golf had been mentioned twice and this show never wastes a Chekhov’s gun, or tries very hard to misdirect. I remember saying “I don’t know why yet but it’s him.”

    Surely, the guy randomly stacking boxes who spouts off a couple inconsequential lines of dialogue will have no bearing on the episode.

    “You know for a security guard, he had an awful lot of information. Don’t cha think?”

    I haven’t watched SBSP, so take this with a pinch of salt: Patrick looks like he’s the grown up Bart Simpson under the sea.

      Disclaimer: I have seen it many times, but didn’t exactly watch it.

      He’s generally dumber and kinder than Bart, but he’s still somewhat mischievous.

    I hope they bring back that show where the bakers have to guess the cake based on the used ingredients. I’m like Colombo watching that one.
