Monk (2002)

Corrected entry: Monk and Sharona drive to San Marcos, a Spring Break resort town in Mexico. At the border, they're pulled over by Mexican authorities for a Customs inspection. Such inspections are performed on the US side of the border, but during the search, it's made clear that not only are they already in Mexico - they're also, conveniently, already in San Marcos. Spring Break resorts like this one, with pools, hotels, etc., aren't located at the border. (00:10:00)

Correction: Although they may not always take advantage of it, Mexican authorities absolutely have the right to perform customs inspections at their own border. And San Marcos is a fictional resort. There is no rule about where it must be located.

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1

Corrected entry: Monk tells David about Trudy's murder, saying she told him that day she was going out to run an errand for his brother Ambrose. But this contradicts the facts established in "Mr. Monk & the 3 Pies," where Monk didn't know why Trudy had gone out that day until Ambrose told him. That's definitely not a fact that Monk would get wrong.

Jean G

Correction: Given that Monk "found out" several times that Kelly street was not an address one must assume that his memory is not very reliable when it comes to Trudy's murder and everything surrounding it.

Correction: Well for one thing Trudy was supposed to be doing an errand for Ambrose that day however, as stated in previous episodes the errand was never specified and Monk did not understand what she was doing in the parking lot most likely because the errand had nothing to do with where she was. And, If I recall correctly even stated that she was supposed to be doing him an errand but ended up in the parking lot maybe waiting for someone. So monk in fact did not know what she was doing there.

Correction: Absolutely not true. Monk's memory of all things Trudy was impeccable. He'd spent years poring over every aspect of her murder, and would not under any circumstances have forgotten something this important.

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11

Corrected entry: It's late at night when Roger is stung by hundreds of bees at the lookout point. But bees (both the European and Africanized varieties) are not active in late night hours. They're diurnal (active only during the day). Unless something breaks into their hive, which doesn't happen here, they don't fly or swarm at night. (00:42:00)

Jean G

Correction: Maybe it is early in the morning and did he not drop the waitress's body down lookout point? Also the body could very well have triggered the bees and the hornets.

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11

Corrected entry: Debbie's pet bird is called a parakeet, but it's a much larger exotic bird. It's unlike Monk, whose other OCD eccentricities and obscure knowledge are in full force despite his amnesia, not to know the difference. Monk may not know every rare species by name, but parakeets (aka budgerigars) are household pets common enough that anyone would know Debbie's bird isn't one. Monk definitely would have known.

Jean G

Correction: The term parakeet is used to describe any small-medium parrot species, like Debbie's bird, not just the commonly owned household budgerigar. Monk's identification was correct.
