Mr. Monk and the Candidate (1) - S1-E1

Factual error: When the rifle is identified as a "Weatherby Fibermark", Monk and Randy say it's a British rifle. But Weatherby is an American company.

Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Monk is talking to Benjy, he buttons up the top two buttons on his shirt, but in the next shot of him they're undone, and he's re-buttoning them.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Stottlemeyer pulls his gun on Mr. Modine, the safety is off and the gun is cocked, but in the next shot it's not cocked and the safety is on. Then we see the safety off, but not cocked.

Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1

Trivia: The woman killed is named Beth Landow. In real life, Beth Landau (same pronunciation) is the wife of Andy Breckman, the creator of the show "Monk."

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Monk: [On the phone with Hal] Oh that, that, that was just my assistant, Natalie. Uh? Ah, hold on, I'll see. [Speaking to Natalie] Are you hot?

Bishop73

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Character mistake: At the crime scene, the #8 evidence marker is in the bathroom. When Monk and the Captain are examining the body, a #8 evidence marker is seen on the lamp. They wouldn't use a number more than once at a crime scene.

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: The position of Gail's body moves at the crime scene from when officers cover her head with the tarp to when the Captain uncovers her a few moments later. At first, her left hand is under her forehead and covered by her hair, but then the hand is away from her head and not covered by hair.

Mr. Monk and the Other Detective - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When the reporter is interviewing Marty's mom at the crime scene, the reporter lifts the mic to her mouth, but in the next shot the mic is away from her mouth.

Mr. Monk and the Election - S3-E15

Question: Mr. Monk, given all his quirks, is apprehensive to enter the voting booth and even comes back out due to his anxiety. My question is; do you have to be in the booth to vote? He had a paper ballot and there was no voting machine inside the booth. I saw a table and chairs in the background, so if Monk chose to, could he (or anyone) fill out the ballot at the table, in the open?

Mr. Monk and the Election - S3-E15

Character mistake: Captain Stottlemeyer uses gloves to pick up the letter found sticking out of the pipe. He doesn't actually put the glove on, but still uses it to avoid getting any of his prints, skin, etc on the paper. But then he uses his other, non-gloved hand to open up the note and hold it, and Monk also touches the letter. If he cared about not contaminating evidence by using the glove, he wouldn't touch it bare handed and if he didn't care about touching the note bare handed, then he wouldn't have used the gloves.

Mr. Monk, Private Eye - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Linda is showing the apartment to the Captain, she has her phone in her left hand and crosses her arms. Her arms stay crossed, but then in a later shot, with her arms still crossed, the phone is in her right hand.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk, Private Eye - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jay pulls up to the marina, he parks at an angle and quickly jumps out and then we see him take off in his boat. When the Captain arrives, Jay's car is no longer at an angle and is parked properly.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk Gets Drunk - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Monk and Al are sitting to drink wine, Al grabs his bottle with one hand to pour the wine and the other hand is hanging down to his side. In the next shot, as he's pouring the wine, he's holding the glass with the other hand. In the next shot, his hand is by his side again.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Monk is talking to Daniel on the radio, in the shots from inside the truck, Krystal is standing next to the open door, to Monk's left when he turns to face her. In the shots from outside the truck, Krystal is now away from the door and to Monk's right.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: When we see a shot of Steve in his car while in the dump truck, it's shot in a studio and the shot is reused each time we see Steve in the car. The shadow is completely different and at one point, when they show Steve in the car with the car and truck bouncing around, you can tell the image is just shaken, rather than the dump truck actually bouncing. There are loose chains hanging off the inside walls that don't move or sway at all.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk Gets Married - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: In Dalton's antique store, in the close of the forged map, the "sold" tag is covering part of the state names (mainly the West in West Virginia) and part of the picture. In the wide shot, the tag is now in the corner and not covering anything.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk, Private Eye - S5-E5

Question: When Jay is about to shoot Monk on the boat, the boat dips in the water (almost the way a car would dip when hitting a pothole). What would cause this? It almost looks like it was done deliberately by a stunt driver. And if it's from hitting a wave or wake, I would think the boat would bounce up first.

Bishop73

Mr. Monk and the Red Herring - S3-E10

Nurse: You're looking for someone to start right away?
Monk: That's right.
Nurse: What would my hours be?
Monk: 9 a.m...
Nurse: Until?
Monk: Until one.
Nurse: 1 p.m.?
Monk: Until one of us dies.
