Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse - S8-E7

Corrected entry: When being interviewed by the police after her uncle died, Angeline says, "I'm an ER nurse. I tried everything. I did cardio-cerebral resuscitation and I just... it was too late." There is no such thing as cardio-cerebral resuscitation. The correct term is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, also known as CPR. (00:15:30)

Correction: Angeline is trying to cover up the fact she herself killed her uncle, She is just trying to make it sound like she helped him when she probobly did nothing, the fact that she slipped up on a technical term is due to herself and not the television shows or the writers.

Correction: Randy has also been shown many times to be incredibly oblivious of his surroundings. At most its still just a character choice, not a mistake.

Mr. Monk and the End - Part I - S8-E15

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the season 8 episode "Mr. Monk and the End Pt. 1" the scene shows Monk and Trudy prior to the car bombing, together. Monk notices a new present under the tree. He mentions the present to her. However, in the season 4 episode, "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa", he tells Natalie that he found the gift after Trudy died. Considering Monk's extraordinary gift for memory it seems unlikely that he would have forgotten how he discovered the gift.

Winthrop J. Quiggy

Correction: Considering the trauma he went through that afternoon, it's perfectly understandable he would have forgotten. Add to that the fact that Trudy alters his gifts (He was never able to directly solve her murder), and his memory lapse can be totally explained.

Mistakes

Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16

Factual error: When Monk visits the prison for the first time, he is searched, passed, and has a mini-panic attack because people have touched him. Sharona steps forward to comfort him, and she puts her arms around him. This is a very serious breach of procedure and it is not possible for the guards to miss it, because Sharona has not been searched. It's a common technique for trying to pass contraband called 'a touch through' - a person with an item to be smuggled into the prison (drugs, usually), passes them on to a person who has been searched and is therefore 'clean'. Monk would be taken back to the guard's station to be searched again. He would not be allowed leniency because the guards happen to know or to like him - visitor ingress and egress is always done under CCTV and the guard would know he was being watched - quite possibly by someone who doesn't know who Monk and Sharona are.

Suggested correction: Sharona was searched first by the female guard.

In fact Sharona breaks away from the female guard to go to Monk. She has NOT been searched.

The correction is correct. The female guard already finished patting Sharona down before the male guard even had a chance to start his pat down of Monk.

Yeah, the correction is correct. I went back six times through that clip: Sharona and Monk both get searched, and then Sharona touches Monk.

Trivia

Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico - S2-E2

Trivia: According to co-producer Tom Scharpling, the Mexican homicide cops are purposely written as parodies of Stottlemeyer and Disher, right down to their attitudes, their ranks, their suits, and Captain Alameda's mustache. Even the bumbling lieutenant's name is a little joke on Disher. Plato means "dish" in Spanish.

Questions

Answer: Stottlemeyer was already upset after the phone call. He was trying to get "Kevin" (who would have to be a judge, but no further character information is given) to issue a restraining order with no evidence of needing one, except that Adrian Monk said she needs one. Kevin said he would need to "sleep on it." So it's clear they've been trying to provide protection and unable to get the results they need, which seems to be based on no one trusting Monk the way Stottlemeyer does. He's just angry that they failed to protect Linda despite all their work. Although it does feel like a scene was cut, or altered, from the show that shows the futile attempts to protect Linda which built up to his outrage.

Bishop73

Answer: While walking upstairs in the victims house randy starts messing with his out of place tennis shoes. When he gets upstairs to monks he has on other shoes. Could have to do with the expensive rug.
