Continuity mistake: When the victim's niece is crying and Monk is quizzing her about the house, the position of her hands changes instantly several times as the camera reverses angles. She holds her hands to her face as she cries, for instance, but in the very next shot, her hands are down at her sides. Next cut, they're up to her face again. (00:09:00)
Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: At the dinner table, the liquid level in the Professor's water glass varies each time the camera angle changes. (00:21:00)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Factual error: Lt. Albright shows Monk and Natalie the "USS Seattle", a "Class 4 Submarine". US sub classes have names, not numbers, so she would be Los Angeles, Seawolf or Virginia class.
Continuity mistake: When Monk is asking Ms. Moody if the roof is known, she's crying into both her hands. But in the next shot, she's only crying into her left hand and her right hand is down. The shot changes, and we see her lowering her right hand, not left. In the next shot her left hand is up again.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, we see Cassie with her watch on her left wrist. But in the shot with both her hand on Joseph's back, the watch is on her right wrist.
Mr. Monk Falls In Love - S7-E6
Plot hole: It is not realistic that Miss Zladovic is confronted with the murder weapon for the first time in her flat after she had been arrested and interrogated about the same exact murder days before. It is also impossible that the police did not show her a picture of the murder victim as it is police standard to ask any suspects for connections/relations to "their" victim.
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Kloster hands Natalie the cup of lemonade, the cup is about two-thirds full. In the shots from the right side of the car, the level is about the same, but in the shots from the left side of the car, it's almost full. (00:22:30 - 00:23:30)
Plot hole: Monk and Natalie temporarily incapacitate Jake before crawling all the way down the hall from the bathroom to the living room while pulling a heavy claw-footed bathtub. Exactly why didn't Monk or Natalie think to consider a more permanent solution to preventing Jake from attempting to kill them again, like grabbing his gun and using it to detain him until the police could arrive to arrest him? (00:30:00 - 00:39:05)
Suggested correction: It's tricky to make that determination. First off they were panicked and possibly facing death. Not to mention he was a large and powerful guy. Maybe they grab the gun and maybe they detain him. You can't fault characters for making rash decisions. He was only incapicated for a short time so it may have been risky to take that option.
Continuity mistake: In the lab scene near the end, when Monk has the electric wheel chair, Natalie is holding the bottle of pills in her right hand and the drink in her left hand when she gets up from the seat. In the next shot she is holding the drink in her right hand and the pills in her left.
Continuity mistake: When Monk is trying to get out of the Captain's car, Randy is trying to get his wheelchair out of the trunk. In the shots from the rear of the car, Randy is directly behind the vehicle. In the shots from the front, Randy is a few feet away. (00:18:00 - 00:19:00)
Continuity mistake: In "Mr. Monk On Wheels," after Monk gets out of the car, when he closes the door while standing on his unshot leg, he's facing the front of the vehicle. In the next shot, from behind the car, he's facing the rear of the vehicle without having turned around. (00:18:55)
Mr. Monk and the Magician - S7-E15
Continuity mistake: In the basement, the configuration of the ropes tying Monk to the chair changes repeatedly between shots, from overlapped to straight across and back again. (00:42:00)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Monk is telling Captain Stottlemeyer about Trudy's death, he says that by the time he got there, she wasn't even able to speak, that she held his hand and died. However, in "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale," we learn that Trudy's last words were "Bread and butter," and that she said them to Adrian right before she died.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: At the end, a round dish sitting on the island counter in Monk's kitchen disappears and reappears every time the camera angle reverses. (00:41:00)
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:30:40)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Plot hole: Kloster's plan of switching the headstones wouldn't have worked because cemeteries keep records of who's buried in which plot. Before exhuming the body, the records would have been checked and someone would have noticed that the name on the headstone and the name in the records didn't match. (He might have broken into the office and changed the records, but it's never brought up, so he likely didn't.)
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Continuity mistake: Just where was that evidence locker? Randy borrows a big screen TV from the evidence room and pushes it upstairs toward the ground floor office, indicating the evidence locker is in the basement. But when Natalie arrives and walks through the office, she goes up the stairs instead of down to find Randy with the TV wedged in the stairwell, indicating the evidence room is on the upper floor. The TV wedged itself tight on his way up the stairs, so he hasn't moved it in the meantime: he's in exactly the same spot with the same picture on the wall. (00:40:30)
Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:04:05)
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: Right after the taxi driver drives off and the couple approaches Monk and Natalie there is a man passing by right behind the couple, but when camera angle changes within a split second that man is gone.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8
Revealing mistake: There is an obvious stunt double when Monk is fighting with Sally Larkin for the piece of chewing gum: he is younger, more tanned, and possibly wearing a wig in order to emulate Tony Shalhoub's hair. (00:35:55 - 00:39:05)
