Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa - S6-E10

Plot hole: This episode's entire story line takes place in the six days before Christmas (Dec. 19-24). "Bad Santa" is shot in the right shoulder on the 19th, sustaining a wound serious enough to require wearing a sling for the next several days. Yet at the end, a mere few days later, he's recovered enough to have a knock-down-drag-out fistfight with Monk, wielding a knife and throwing powerhouse punches with his wounded arm as though no injury had ever occurred. (00:38:00)

Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man - S6-E8

Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Show generally

Factual error: This series uses a beautifully-rendered CGI sequence of New Amsterdam C. 1650 morphing into New York City of the present day. The Native American tribe we see at the start of the sequence, however, never inhabited the New England area. They look more like the Lakota plains tribes seen in Dances With Wolves. The North-Eastern tribes didn't build teepees as seen here, either. The dwellings should be longhouse wigwams made of wood.

Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: The shape of the first ring Randy draws on the TV screen changes from an oval to a circle and then back to an oval between takes. (00:30:50)

Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: In the mausoleum, the bald man asks Monk and Natalie what happened to the cremation urn name cards, and bends to pick one of them up from the floor. There are no cards on the table when he does this, but in the next shot, four cards have appeared on the table out of nowhere. A short time later, they've all disappeared again. (00:18:45 - 00:20:15)

Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: In the lumber yard, Randy shows a rare streak of genius by knocking out the bad guy with a 2x4 shoved through a stack of boards. When the 2x4 strikes Ringel, it stops its slide protruding about six inches from the stack. When the camera angle changes for the very next shot, the 2x4 is suddenly sticking out more than a foot. (00:39:30)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: Ringel closes the blinds, then turns and walks away from the window. After a brief shot of Monk and Marcy, Ringel turns and walks away from the same window again. (00:34:40)
