Marcy, the obsessed fan of Brad's crime show, complains bitterly about his series changing its theme song. This was written as a little joke on Monk's real life fans, many of whom protested the show's 2nd season musical change from Jeff Beal's instrumental to Randy Newman's vocal theme. Newman's vocals opened this episode as usual, but after Marcy repeats her "don't change the theme song" mantra at the end, Beal's theme was brought back to play over the closing credits. It's been used at the end a number of times since. See more...

Across whole show

Mistake Continuity: "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized": As his hypnosis session begins, Monk's arms change back and forth between takes, from resting on the arms of the chair to folded across his stomach.

Mistake Continuity: "Mr. Monk's 100th Case": At the end, when he is talking to Natalie about quitting since he has solved an even number of crimes, Monk is peeling an orange. The peeling that he is letting dangle from the orange changes from above the counter to touching the counter and back to above the the counter, depending on the shot.

Mistake Continuity: 7-9, "Mr. Monk & the Miracle": At the dinner table, the liquid level in the Professor's water glass varies each time the camera angle changes.

Mistake Continuity: 7-9, "Mr. Monk & the Miracle": When Julie comments on Monk's cardboard Christmas tree, her hair changes with each shot reversal, from combed straight across her back to parted and falling over one shoulder.

Mistake Factual error: 7.5 "Mr Monk is Underwater": Monk borrows Lt. Albright's sidearm to prove a point. All weapons on a submarine are locked in a small arms locker until needed, not carried around by officers. Further, medics are traditionally not issued firearms.

Mistake Continuity: "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized": The five dollar bill Monk is holding up instantly reverses itself between takes. It also disappears from his hand as he's backing toward the door, then reappears in the shot after that.

Mistake Continuity: "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized": At the end, a round dish sitting on the island counter in Monk's kitchen disappears and reappears every time the camera angle reverses.

Mistake Factual error: 7.5 "Mr Monk is Underwater" Commander Whitaker asks what Monk and Natalie are doing on his "ship". No submarine commander would ever refer to his vessel that way. He would refer to it as his "boat". This is not a character mistake; the terminology is an iron-clad navy tradition.

Mistake Factual error: 7.5 "Mr Monk is Underwater": The standard issue pistol for the US Navy is the 9mm Beretta 92F, not the Walther P38 as shown.
