The Monitors (film)
''The Monitors'' is a 1969 U.S. satirical science fiction film. Shot in Chicago, it was the first film production of the city's Second City comedy troupe and was coproduced and financed by the Bell and Howell film-equipment manufacturing company (then based in nearby Skokie) in an effort to establish Chicago as a film production center. It is based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Keith Laumer. Plot Earth has been taken over by a benign group of aliens known as the Monitors, gentlemanly figures clad in black overcoats and bowler hats. They are dedicated to suppressing humanity's propensities for violence, sex, war, and trouble, enforcing their ethos with spray cans of a pacifying gas and with television ads praising the Monitors' rule—the latter featuring cameos by a variety of comedic actors, as well as bandleader Xavier Cugat and Illinois senator Everett Dirksen (who died before the film's release).

The Monitors (comics)
The Monitors are a group of fictional comic book characters, who appear in books published by DC Comics. They are based on the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, two characters created by comic book writer Marv Wolfman and comic artist George Pérez as the main characters of DC Comics' ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' limited series. They are a group that watches all aspects of the Multiverse, past and present. Most importantly, they seek to prevent crossovers between the universes, as was common before "The Crisis". The Monitors first appeared in ''Brave New World''. They are in some respects similar to the Watchers of the Marvel Universe, though they take a more active role as opposed to simply observing. Fictional history Origins One of the Monitors appears in shadow on the cover of the '' DCU: Brave New World'' Special; the first few pages show the Monitors' satellite appearing over New Earth.
