Even "Monk's beautiful blond haired wife Trudy Monk" (Melora Hardin) portrayed in his day-dreams and even heart-loving episodes reminds Monk of "How much any man can miss his wife?"

"Unfortunately, what a lot of Monk's TV viewers did NOT realize whom is the creative genius behind this lovable well-written character?" His name is David Hoberman, whom ironically also suffers from TV show Monks Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder.
Lovable in-person David has comically claimed in interviews that he can NOT walk on cracks in the side-walk and must touch each pole at the same time while walking? "And loves too clean things!" The same as his character Monk!-
The two creators and original writers of this historical USA Network TV show Monk are Andy Breckman and David Hoberman. Talented writer and production artist Hoberman admits that one of his greatest TV shows in life was detective "Columbo" starring Peter Falk back in the 1970's.

Most likely the hit USA Network TV show called "Monk" will live-long and prosper as Spock used to say in the early days of Star-Trek in the 1960's! Possibly exceeding the ratings of Seinfeld and I Love Lucy re-runs! Fans and even future generation TV viewers to come in the next decades or even centuries will always love this TV show called "Monk!"-
