USA Network's "Monk" TV show, the critically acclaimed original series starring Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG award winner Tony Shalhoub, premieres season six on USA Network. USA Network's "Monk" TV show remains one of the highest-rated original scripted series in basic cable history.

Tony Shalhoub ("Big Night," "Wings," "Men in Black," "Cars") has earned three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and two SAG Awards for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Adrian Monk, a brilliant detective who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Monk's psychological disorder costs him his position as a legendary homicide detective on the San Francisco Police force. Due to the tragic unsolved murder of his wife, Monk has developed an abnormal fear of germs, heights, crowds and virtually everything else, which provides an unusual challenge to solving crimes … not to mention his day-to-day existence.

Traylor Howard ("Two Guys and a Girl," "Me, Myself and Irene"), Ted Levine ("Heat," "Moby Dick") and Jason Gray-Stanford ("Taken," "A Beautiful Mind") also star on USA Network's "Monk" TV show.

Returning for season six of USA Network's "Monk" TV show in their memorable roles are Sarah Silverman ("The Sarah Silverman Program," "The School of Rock") as Adrian's biggest fan – and sometime stalker, Marcie Maven; Sharon Lawrence ("Desperate Housewives," "NYPD Blue") as Capatin Stottlemeyer's girlfriend, Linda Fusco; and Tim Bagley ("Knocked Up," "According to Jim") as Monk's nemesis, Harold Krenshaw. Also guest-starring this season on "Monk" are Alfred Molina ("Spider Man 2," "The Da Vinci Code"), David Koechner ("The Office," "Anchorman"), Diedrich Bader ("The Drew Carey Show," upcoming in "Balls of Fury"), Angela Kinsey ("The Office," upcoming in "License to Wed"), Gail O'Grady ("Boston Legal," "NYPD Blue"), Vincent Ventresca ("Invisible Man," "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion"), Donal Logue ("The Knights of Prosperity," "Grounded for Life"), rap stars Snoop Dogg ("Starsky & Hutch," "The L Word") and Kurupt ("Johnson Family Vacation," upcoming in "A Day in the Life"), as well as Emmy Clarke ("My House in Umbria," "Fur") as Julie Teeger and Stanley Kamel ("Inland Empire," "Mister Sterling") as Dr. Charles Kroger.

As Season 6kicks off, Monk is forced to help his biggest fan (Silverman) when she is accused of a bizarre crime; Monk finds himself in a dangerous situation when he helps his psychiatrist's son follow a treasure map; when a man Monk sent to prison years earlier is cleared by new DNA evidence, Monk helps him rebuild his life; Monk's friendship with Captain Stottlemeyer (Levine) is put to the test when Monk suspects the captain's girlfriend (Lawrence) of murder;

Monk is hired to clear the name of a famous rap star (Dogg) who is accused of murder; Monk must confront his prejudice against nudists when he's called to investigate a murder on a nude beach (guest-stars Molina and Bader); and Monk's world is turned upside-down when he learns a famous daredevil's secret identity is his archrival — Harold Krenshaw (Bagley, with guest-star Koechner).

USA Network's "Monk" TV show is executive produced by David Hoberman ("Raising Helen," "Bringing Down the House," "The Negotiator"), Andy Breckman ("Saturday Night Live," "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Rat Race"), Tony Shalhoub, Randy Zisk ("House," "Without a Trace') and Tom Scharpling ("The Best Show on WFMU"). "Monk" is from Universal Media Studios in association with Mandeville Films and Touchstone Television.
