And, so far, Andrew Goldenhersh as well. It was filmed at the Magic Castle.
Twenty minutes into it: it's pretty funny. |

Psh, it's Monk. I believe GENIUS is the word you're looking for.
Trapeze above the Grand Canyon. Be impressed.

I was looking for information on the episode and found this from the USA network forum

Monk is set in San Francisco. They must have had one hell of a commute going back and forth to The Castle.
I have to admit, I don't get it. For what they showed, why bother using the Castle? Why not simply "make up" a magic night club? |

Because it is a TV show that has a lot of the filming done outside of San Francisco. The Magic Castle likely pursues such business and at the end it is good for them. Do you question why a body is dumped in San Francisco but the site shown is Pacifica? Do you ponder why SF cops would be investigating murder in Napa or outside Berkeley? Ever wonder why the weather is always beautiful when you know SF has crappy weather a lot?

Hollywood = inexpensive local Los Angeles shot.
San Francisco = expensive travel-to location shot. Do the math.

One thing is the city is (city = San Francisco) is very tv and movie friendly. It really is a beautiful city but clearly much of Monk is shot elsewhere. That apartment Monk lives in, unless he has rent control, would be $5k a month. I love Monk, I saw that next season is the last one.

They never get the apartment right. (Probably because it needs to be big for camerawork) I remember critics of the first "Superman" movie mentioned that no reporter, not even a "star" reporter, could possibly afford the apartment Lois was living in in that film.
