Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival

⇑

⇓

Plot hole: It makes no sense why the police haven't done the most obvious thing and checked for fingerprints on the murder weapon (the knife). It would not only back up the detective's claim that he did not stab the victim (he never touched the knife) but would have given the police a major clue to finding and prosecuting the murderer.

Continuity: When Monk is in the review board hearing, in long shots, the wastebasket by the board members' table is empty. When one of the reviewers throws away a paper that misses the basket and lands right next to it, there are several papers already in it. In the next long shot and for the rest of the scene, the basket is empty again and the missed paper is at least two feet away.

Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum

⇑

⇓

Factual error: The woman who accuses Monk of stealing her necklace shouldn't have the necklace inside the asylum in the first place. For both safety and insurance reasons, patients in mental facilities aren't permitted to keep any potentially harmful jewelry, including pins, broaches, earrings, belts, beads and necklaces.

Plot hole: Monk and Manny go on the roof through Manny's window to grab a piece of cloth. Due to the possibility of suicide, it is highly unlikely that an asylum would have a window that goes directly to the roof, unlocked.

Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger

⇑

⇓

Continuity: It's Spring in San Fransisco in this episode: warm with light rain and people outside in shirtsleeves. That is, until Monk goes to visit Kelly, when it suddenly becomes Winter. Everyone's bundled in heavy coats and it's sleeting. After Monk leaves Kelly's house, it becomes Spring again.

Continuity: In the opening scene, the man with the date pulls the gun on the mugger with his right hand and fires one shot. The camera angle changes as the remaining shots are fired and he now has the gun in his left hand and is standing in a completely different stance. During the recap of the crime at the end of the episode, it shows him firing all the shots with his right hand.
