I used to be a huge fan of Diagnosis Murder but since Monk began in the UK, I've gone off it. Diagnosis Murder has only ever really offered the occasional joke, splashed with the personality of Dick Van Dyke - who of course is a legend!!!! Monk has everything: clever plots/cases which are kinda possible to work out - not just sprung upon you like the ending of Scream 2, and very funny moments involving Monk, Randy and Layland.
Discuss...
Anyone wanna throw other detectives into the mix, feel free!

Oo - I've not seen Monk but am die-hard Diagnosis Murder fan. I'll have to try watching it. I agree Dick Van Dyke is total legend, although if I were police I'd be a tad suspicious about the number of murders that go on at his hospital / amongst his rellies / friends etc. Is Mark Sloane really a warped psychotic serial killer? Hmm...

Monk! A cleaning freak detective? Who wouldn't prefer that over Diagnosis Murder?

Diagnosis Murder annoys me - it's such an obvious showcase for Dick Van Dyke. When he starts tap-dancing or singing I want to break the TV. And the guy who plays his son (and actually really is his son) is so wooden.
But I love Monk, funny and smart.

Monk's better than Diagnosis Murder, but I prefer Quincy M.E.

i love detective programmes, and diagnosis murder was great, but if you want a good murder mystery, you cant get much better than (the late) perry mason (raymond burr)... he was fantastic, and ive seen all the episodes so many times that i can (and yes, i know its really sad!) tell you who did it, how they did it and why within the 1st 5 minutes! perry was a legend (but of course, dick van dyke is untouchable!)
