Mr. Monk and the Astronaut - S4-E14

Plot hole: There is no drug in the world that could render a healthy adult unconscious for two days with a single dose, but let's go with the dramatic licence and allow that there is. Any such drug would be instantly detectable in any one of a dozen toxin screens carried out during an autopsy, and isn't someone going to wonder how a comatose woman hanged herself?

Show generally

Plot hole: In the very last episode of the show, "George Decides To Sta-Local Where It's Familiar", Angie mentions that they conceived their "kids" there, referring to both Carmen and Max. However, the season four episode "George Takes a Stroll Down Memory Pain" showed flashbacks where Angie and George were living with Benny, and Angie was far along in her pregnancy with Carmen. Only Max could have been conceived in the house that they are currently living in. I want to add that in the episode 'Valentine Massacre', George says"What about the first time we made love. What were the odds in Vegas!?!"

The Announcement - S2-E1

Plot hole: When Kel is giving a toast to Kath at the restaurant, he says that he has been married to Kath for a month. In Episode 8, Series 1 "The Wedding", their wedding was held on 18th September yet it is New Year's Eve now. That's not a month, that's at least three.

Normal Boy/Birth of a Salesman - S1-E3

Plot hole: Throughout the show, many characters state that Jimmy was responsible for the meteor almost destroying Retroville in the episode "Normal Boy", however, how would anyone even know that? The meteor was put on course after being hit by some kitchen objects shot into space by Jimmy's orange juice machine. Neither Jimmy nor his parents or anyone saw the objects go into space, much less witness them causing the meteor head straight to earth, especially since the meteor wasn't detected until the next day.

A Scooby-Doo Valentine - S3-E3

Plot hole: It's never explained how JC Chasez and the Hollywood extras impersonating the gang gained the super strength they possessed to do things like ripping car roofs open or holding up the Mystery Machine.
