'Monk' looks at final season


November 14, 2008 USA Network said Friday that it is giving its long-running hit series an eighth- and final-season pickup with a 16-episode order. The final season of the show -- starring Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk, a brilliant detective who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder -- will debut in the summer. "Monk" still is going strong from a ratings standpoint, posting series-high viewership numbers in February among key demos and total viewers and seeing its viewership in 2008 grow significantly over 2007.
