Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13

Revealing mistake: When Monk steps in front of the limo to stop it from leaving, on the bottom right of the screen there's a black line that doglegs to the right (seen over Monk's coat sleeve). It's like the camera was cracked or something was stuck to it. When the camera angle changes it's gone, but is there where the camera is back on Monk.

Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ruskin and Monk are tussling with each other, the gun falls onto the wipers, with the barrel touching the wiper and handle up. The next time we see the gun, the handle is down and touching the wiper. It keeps flipping back and forth in various shots.

Mr. Monk Gets Drunk - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Natalie and Al are struggling, the gun lands on the table and there's a basket of corks. Somehow when Al gets the gun, the basket is tipped over and the corks are on the table. But after Monk hits Al, the corks are all back in the basket, which is upright.

Mr. Monk vs. the Cobra - S3-E11

Character mistake: Monk says that Croatia is a new country and didn't exist until 1992, but Croatia gained independence in 1991. However, Croatia still existed prior to that, it was just part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. So things could still be made in Croatia.

Suggested correction: This is wrong, it was just the way the camera angle made the cage appear where I couldn't differentiate the space between the bars, so it looked like there must have been a covering.

Question: If Monk is afraid of germs, then why does he keep touching things that could possibly have germs on them like parking meters or books?

Answer: Notice also that in the opening credits scene when he is touching parking meters her also wipes his hand on his clothes each time he does it.

Answer: That's the thing about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It's not something rational. He just has to touch things like that. It's not something he can rationally think through. However, since part of his disorder includes an obsession with cleanliness, he also has an assistant walk around handing him wipes periodically. It's like when he gets a cold and uses both a humidifier (because that's what you use when you're congested) and a dehumidifier (to counteract the effects of the humidifier). He may spout rationalizations after he does something, but his compulsions exist outside of any rational thought whatever.
