Mr Monk Buys a House

Mr Monk

Mr. Monk returns to TV with a premiere episode this Friday, July 18th. This one will be near a dear to our hearts. He’s going to buy a house! That’s right. Here is your most OCD client in a life-imitates-art drama.

When his new neighbor plays his music too loud, Monk decides it’s time to move. He makes the big leap and buys a house that turns into a money pit, reminiscent of the 1986 movie that we agents like to give to first-time buyers who think they are ready for a fixer-upper. Things continue to challenge Adrian when he hires the handyman from hell who is determined to rip up the entire house. Brad Garrett form Everybody Loves Raymond guest stars.

Most of us agents have had clients like this to some degree and I’m sure there will be a number of been-there-experienced-that moments. I just wanted to make sure those who didn’t know have a chance to TiVo or whatever to see it.

When I gutted and rebuilt my old house, the first thing my architect did after I accepted the preliminary drawings and we went to bid was to watch Cary Grant in “Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House” ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040613/ ). All I can say is “So true”. :-)

My daughter loves Monk. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if she will chose this over Batman with Heath Ledger? Will let you know!

I am all over this. It is one of the few TV show my wife and I watch. I wonder if there will be any home inspection scenes, like in the crawlspace, behind the refrigerator…good skin-crawling stuff for a neat-freak.

I can only imagine. I cringe for Monk. Every house has its quirks and you have to learn to love them.
