Very touching. Thanks Jeffan.  They must have filmed the VDO/JG contribution when they filmed that little quiz where they had to say two truths and a lie. Same setting and clothes? |

Classy. Very classy. Especially the guys from PSYCH who recognize they wouldn't have jobs without MONK and Tony Shalhoub.
I wouldn't be nearly as upset about what's happening with LOCI if USA had treated it as well as it did MONK.

They don't have to treat LOCI as well as "Psych." Or "Monk." Both were USA's natural children. "LOCI" is adopted. Naturally it would be treated worse. And yes, that's dripping sarcasm you're feeling.

Well, as I've written many times, LOCI has always been the red headed stepchild. Wolf Productions, NBC, now USA.

Thanks for posting this Jeffan.
Yes it is classy, but I'm also curious about when the video clip was shot and why it's being released NOW. The cynic in me suspects a damage control PR move by NBCU and USA to soothe ruffled feathers and quiet the gathering storm of their own making.

There's a cynic in me too, Techguy. Or maybe we are both realists. Or maybe I'm just a curmudgeonly buzzkiller  I am inclined to see the (delightful, yes) schmoozefest not as a sop to disgruntled Goren/Eames fans but as a promotional gimmick for NBCU's other detective dramadies. Also in a small way a message to Monk fans, in particular: You liked Monk, you'll love these other shows. See the camaraderie, feel the love... We're all family. Sorry to be quite so unmoved emotionally about this fun promo. I'm sure that the words about Tony Shaloub were sincere. But this is television promotion, and in the end it's Always About The Money. IMO, of course. |

Oh, I agree Techguy and Dragonsback.
The machinations of a PR juggernaut are relatively easy to read in the context of the bigger picture.

I agree Patcat. LOCI deserves no less than Monk and I'm working on making it happen. I want to see ALL of our people back in S9 - for the full season. Monk fans are getting an entire season of 16 episodes to say goodbye. Goren and Eames fans are asking for their 8.
I think it's only right for the network to make it happen.
