What movie is the TV series Monk based on?

Answer 1

The original two hour pilot was commissioned by ABC, originally as a vehicle for comic actor Michael Richards, who dropped out after reading the script for the pilot. Afterward, they weren't certain about the series and handed it off to USA Network. As part of the deal, ABC got the right to air repeats of the series after the episodes ran on USA. ABC used some episodes to fill in its summer schedule and got respectable ratings. Technically, the deal is still in place, but with USA Network being bought by NBC/Universal, the odds of episodes showing up on ABC again are very slim.

On January 12, 2006, USA Network announced that the show had been picked up through at least season six as one of the "highest-rated series in cable history
