回复 :Former police detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), whose photographic memory and amazing ability to piece together tiny clues made him a local legend, has suffered from intensified obsessive-compulsive disorder and a variety of phobias since the unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1997. Now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department and working as a freelance detective/ consultant on difficult cases, Monk hopes to convince his former boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer, who wavered between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities during the first season, is becoming more of a friend to Monk as the series develops, frequently calling him in to help, as much for Monk's benefit as for his own. However, he knows Monk's limitations as well as his strengths and may still harbor doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun or subdue a perpetrator. Stottlemeyer's second-in-command, Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), also seems to be developing both admiration and compassion for the man he once labeled "the defective detective."Despite flaws and inadequacies all around, the three are becoming an increasingly effective team, with additional help from Monk's personal assistant. From the double-episode pilot through the first half of season three, Monk was aided by his nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram). But in the tenth episode of the third season, Sharona was replaced by a new assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard). Like Sharona, a divorcee with a son named Benjy, Natalie is a single parent, a widow with a daughter named Julie (Emmy Clarke). Unlike Sharona, Natalie is not a nurse but a former bartender with a fresh perspective on "Mr. Monk," as she still addresses her new boss.
回复 :1969年10月5日,当这五个英国佬和一个美国佬第一次胡言乱语恬不知耻地出现在BBC电视台上时,整个英伦三岛都傻了眼。从这天开始,在之后短短的四年间,“巨蟒剧团”及其六位成员的名字通过《飞翔的马戏团》这套空前成功的电视喜剧节目,很快成为了英国现代文化的一个标志。也正是从《飞向的马戏团》开始,“巨蟒”逐渐为世界所熟知,并以自己独特的幽默方式开创了一种至今仍被全世界(尤其是好莱坞)广泛效仿和套用的喜剧类型。《飞翔的马戏团》从形式上看类似于今天的电视小品,但它绝不受任何一种规范或模式的约束,我们从头至尾也看不到一个惯用的伎俩或模式化的重复。6个高智商活宝的创作灵感永远天马行空随兴所至,每一集的内容或破碎或连贯,可能是几个独立的故事,可能是几条相互交叉的线索,也可能是一堆毫无瓜葛的碎片。只要是他们灵机一动想到的东西,全都大胆地用摄影机拍摄了下来。除了极个别偶尔客串的朋友(在迫不得已的情况下他们必须需要的“性感美女”角色,都是由“真正的”女演员卡萝尔-克力夫兰扮演的),整套剧中几乎所有有台词的角色都是活宝们亲自上阵,你所能像想到的各式奇装异服的打扮几乎全被他们尝试过了。《飞翔的马戏团》嘲弄取笑,有时甚至是恶意羞辱的对象包括历史人物、哲学理论、政治立场、宗教教义、社会现象、公众意识等等。从维多利亚女王到普通的英国家庭妇女,从电视媒体制造的泡沫到日常生活中实实在在的细枝末节都是他们信手拈来的素材。而“巨蟒”对暴力或性等争议话题的处理也非常巧妙,既不会显得遮遮掩掩,也让审查机构无可奈何,这其中当然少不了泰里-基廉巧思妙想穿插剧中的卡通制作的功劳。事实上,初看《飞翔的马戏团》或任何一部“巨蟒制造”的观众很可能会感到难以适应。乡土气极重的杜撰英国口音和有时显得十分白痴的行为和聒噪的对白会让人不知所云,而且节目中很大一部分内容也的确是纯属白痴的胡闹和小丑式的插科打诨。而这节目妙就妙在,这些貌似毫无价值的胡话连篇中经常会迸发出让人惊叹的绝妙创意,从极粗俗的角度彻底揭露人类文明中所有道貌岸然的嘴脸。大概所谓“大智若愚”的最高境界就在于此了。
