USA Presents a Very Special Double Monk Episode

The second half of Monk‘s current fifth season doesn’t get into full swing until January 19 of next year, but kind USA has not forgotten about Adrian-starved fans this holiday season. Tonight, the basic-cable station will gift and then regift viewers two versions of the same “Mr. Monk and the Leper” episode. Are you a fan of those classic old black & white movies and television shows that helped inaugurate the modern entertainment age? Then catch tonight’s episode at 9pm EST to see Monk and his gang in a special black & white installment. Haven’t looked at a movie or TV show that was created before the introduction of glorious Technicolor? Then the 10pm EST version is what you want. Avid fans can also view both episodes and then head over to the USA Monk Web site in order to vote for whichever version was their favorite. And if you go, while you’re there, don’t forget to also let USA know which five episodes you love and most want to see during the 14-episode, January 14 Monk Viewer’s Choice Marathon. USA is doing *real* good by its Monk groupies, which is nice to see.
