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)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: The stacks of yellow craft blocks that Marcy is carving with her knife change both positions and quantity between shots. (00:20:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: As his hypnosis session begins, Monk's arms change back and forth between takes, from resting on the arms of the chair to folded across his stomach. (00:12:30)

Jean G

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)

Jean G

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)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy - S5-E15

Factual error: The FBI agent runs a computer check and prints out a list of all the pet stores in San Francisco selling ferrets. But he shouldn't have been able to generate any list at all. Pet ferrets are illegal in the state of California, and are not sold in pet stores there. (00:15:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: During the rehearsal, David, playing Monk, rearranges all the items on the coffee table. But each time the camera angle reverses, the items change positions all by themselves, even when he's not touching them.

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: The yellow-globed lamp on the movie set is hanging crooked when the actor playing Monk enters. He touches it, but doesn't move it at all, yet in the next shot, it's hanging straight. A few shots later, it's crooked again.

Jean G

Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: A fight breaks out in the prison laundry, and Monk crawls into a giant dryer to hide, pulling the door mostly shut after him. But in the very next shot of the fight raging on, the dryer door is visible in the background - wide open. Next shot after that, it's shut again, and Monk sneaks it open to peek out. (00:42:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: In the jury room, the two windows behind Monk have venetian blinds, which are raised halfway on the right window. But in several shots of the science teacher coming over to identify the white powder, the right window's blinds are pulled down. (00:35:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Trudy impersonator is talking to Janice's father in the diner, the venetian blinds on the window to his left alternate between raised and lowered positions as the shots change. (00:06:50)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2

Visible crew/equipment: After Kloster catches Monk breaking into his house, the boom rigging's shadow can be seen moving on the wood-panelled wall in the background. (00:31:15)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: The murder victim has a dark green environmentalist flag attached to the left/driver's side of his VW Beetle. The flag disappears and reappears several times throughout the first 10 minutes of the episode. (00:10:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Buys A House - S7-E1

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)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Buys A House - S7-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When the coroner's van pulls up in front of Cassie Drake's house, its shiny black side panel captures a clear reflection of the entire film crew. (00:27:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Buys A House - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: In the hardware store, a bright blue sign in the background reads "Electrical" in reverse. When Jake hands Monk his card a few shots later, the camera angle hasn't changed, but the sign has turned around and now reads "Electrical" forwards. (00:15:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage - S4-E12

Revealing mistake: In their efforts to hide Gerald's pet mouse from the hospital staff, Randy and Natalie toss the rodent back and forth and alternate hiding him in their pockets. But every time he's tossed, Devo the Mouse gains weight. In fact, Devo's (stuffed?) stunt-mouse double is at least twice Devo's actual size. (00:27:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: In the hospital scene, the items on Gerald's tray change positions several times between takes. (00:27:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage - S4-E12

Trivia: Just before he's attacked by the murderer, Gerald is reading to Devo from a mystery novel. Not by coincidence, it's a book by Monk novelist and scriptwriter Lee Goldberg. (00:24:30)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever - S3-E12

Factual error: Randy calls the cabin and gets a "not in service" message. But he should have heard an unanswered ring instead. The FBI agent tore the cord from the wall, which in the US does not generate a "not in service" recording. That only occurs when the phone company cuts off your service due to non-payment or cancellation. (00:30:00)
