Monk and his OCD

This weekend, i had a "monk" marathon... i watched the entire 1st season of the TV series Monk -- the show about a detective with suffering from OCD (obsessive complusive disorder) which was aggravated by the death of his wife.

I have always liked watching mystery / detective TV series since i was a kid and i have grown to love watching Monk along with Zoe buzek and the CSI. Anyways, what set this apart is that the protagonist is such a brilliant man but he cannot function in the "normal world" due to his OCD... He has a fear of just about everything -- germs, crowds, heights and even milk. However, his OCD does not keep him from solving cases that leaves the police baffled.

I first watched this series on cable (Star world)and has been hooked on it ever since... any way, i wonder if i could get hold of season 2 and 3? Anyone knows if I could find it in Quiapo?

Watching Monk reminds me of someone quite close to me (hi chi! hi ma!) though they dont have OCD, they can be so organized sometimes (my mom is a certified pack rat) that i drives us up the wall. hehehe.. although lately i have come to the realization that some organization is welcome to make things / life easier -- just not to the extreme, to the point that it keeps you from functioning "normally".
