Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Panic Room - S3-E2

Corrected entry: After Monk has accidentally pushed the close button on the panic room door, Captain Stottlemeyer tries to guide Monk to pushing the open button on the wall. After a couple of minutes the captain puts his hand through the hole to open the door. The scene doesn't make sense, however. Stottlemeyer makes no attempt through the whole scene to try and open the door up for Monk, who is having trouble with the locked room. He can see the buttons and would easily be able to see he could reach it or at least try to reach it.

Correction: The Captain simply doesn't want to do everything for Monk and wants Monk to do it himself. He finally just gives up on Monk. But that's not out of character for the Captain.

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees - S6-E5

Corrected entry: During the scene where the police are investigating the crime scene, Monk walks around without any protective footwear. Everyone in the room is wearing them, presumably to avoid contaminating any evidence. Monk regardless of his problems, would not likely be allowed to enter the scene without them. It could even be argued Monk would prefer to wear something like this. Additionally, it's not as if no one noticed. The husband even asks about whether he wiped his feet before coming in and Monk shows his shoes to him. The captain is even watching and comments about his shoes being extremely clean.

Correction: Monk has gotten away with a lot of things that are not by the book. He once was allowed inside a jail without being searched by the guards, Monk is a talented detective and he is allowed a lot of slack.

Correction: The point of that scene was everyone's feet needed to be clean because of the rug so they put on footwear at the request of the homeowner for when they walked on the rug. That is why Disher took off his protective footwear when he went upstairs. All he cared about was the rug.
