Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Mr. Monk and the Earthquake - S1-E11

Audio problem: Sharona and Benjy are forbidden access to their damaged apartment building. The policeman tells them to call a certain emergency number, but when he says this, his lips aren't moving. (00:11:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: At the end, the unconscious Cousin Joey changes positions on the roof. Though no one's touched him, he somehow shifts from lying curled on his side to flat on his back. (00:37:30 - 00:41:35)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Stays in Bed - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Natalie props the get-well card up on Monk's bureau, it's partially open. The moment the shot cuts to a different angle, it's completely closed. (00:10:15)

Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1

Trivia: The fictive movie producer's name in this episode is Hoberman, and the lead actor is called David Ruskin. Both characters are named in honor of Monk executive producer David Hoberman. (00:05:00)

Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: When the cleaning woman's body is found, she's lying on the floor face up. A short time later, despite repeated admonitions that nothing should be or has been touched, the corpse has somehow turned itself over and is now lying face down. (00:02:05 - 00:07:45)

Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Cora goes upstairs, her cat is curled up asleep in a chair. In the next, close-up shot, the cat is awake and sitting at the edge of the chair cushion, looking up at Monk with its front feet hanging over the side. When the shot cuts to wide angle again, kitty is instantly back in his original position, snoozing far from the edge and curled up against the pillows. (00:32:45)

Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: During Monk and Sharona's race to the armored car robbery scene, the red Mustang's rear-view mirror disappears. When they arrive, though, it's back in place on the windshield. (00:36:30 - 00:38:30)

Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf - S3-E6

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5

Factual error: When Stottlemeyer backs up the video tape at Monk's house, we can hear the sound chattering backwards. Only a huge industrial (studio) machine would do that. Little home VCRs, like Monk's, mute the sound during in-play rewind and fast forward modes. (00:34:30)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus - S2-E4

Trivia: The traveling circus is called "Dratch and Denby." The first half of the name is a winking nod to Monk story editor and staff writer Daniel Dratch.

Continuity mistake: As the murderer is arrested at the end, the collar of his jacket changes from turned up in back to turned down, etc., several times between takes. (00:39:30)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Visits a Farm - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: Natalie carries a large box full of house plants into Monk's kitchen and starts placing them one by one on the counter while he answers the phone. Each time the shot changes, a large red flower switches itself from the left side of one plant to the right side and back again, and sometimes disappears altogether. (00:09:00)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end, the crime is reconstructed and in flashback, we see and hear the murderer makes his fake 911 call. But his words do not match the 911 tape played earlier in the episode. (00:40:00)
