LOST
Airs: Wednesday 9:00 PM ABC
From J.J. Abrams, the creator of Alias, and Damon Lindelof
comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost. Out of the
blackness, the first thing Jack senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible
awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's
instinct kicks in: people need his help. Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for
their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had.

Janet. Tommy moves into a house across the street from her to stay close to their three children and keep an eye on her. The

Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor.

challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives.

Monk
Airs: Friday 9:00 PM on USA
Adrian Monk
(Tony Shalhoub)
was once a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's
most baffling cases. But after the tragic (and still unsolved) murder of his wife, the devastated Monk became obsessive-compulsive.
His psychological disorder has caused him to develop an abnormal fear of virtually everything: germs, heights, crowds... even
milk. His condition eventually cost him his job, and continues to pose unique challenges in his daily life.
Monk's personal
nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) is there to
help Monk make it through the day, offering her assistance when even the simplest of tasks (like organizing his sock drawer)
become an angst-ridden ordeal for Monk. Along the way, she also becomes Monk's own "Girl Friday," an unlikely Dr. Watson to
his Sherlock Holmes.
Now working as a private consultant, Monk continues to investigate cases in the most unconventional
ways. Although Monk is no longer a member of the police force, his former boss, Captain
Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) still often calls upon him to provide unique insights into cases that have the cops stumped.
Stottlemeyer himself is a highly decorated detective, but he knows he will never be as good as the illustrious Monk... and
it drives him crazy. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Randall Disher
(Jason Gray-Stanford)
aspires to be the department's new go-to guy, and relishes every opportunity to bolster the ego of his commanding officer.
Monk is a detective afraid of the dark, a gumshoe afraid of gum. He has no problem cracking a case - as long as it doesn't
involve heights or germs, and is in close proximity to his apartment. He'd like nothing more than to gain back his position
on the San Francisco police force, but can he pull himself together and get back to solving crimes full time?
