Mr. Monk and the Airplane - S1-E13
Factual error: When the flight attendant announces that "they have been asked to return to the gate" the French pilot and his mistress are already celebrating with a glass of wine, but that is impossible since drinks are only served after the take off phase when the plane has reached its traveling altitude. (00:41:15)
Mr. Monk and the End - Part II - S8-E16
Continuity mistake: Trudy mentions that she had a baby fathered by her professor on Jan 2nd, 1983, before she and Adrian met and 15 years before her death on Dec. 14th, 1997. However, according to the storyline (and the episode "Mr. Monk and the Reunion"), Adrian and Trudy had first met in college, both being in the graduating class of 1981.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: One of the times the prison guard is attempting to pat down Monk, his hands are approaching Monk's abdomen. After a cut to the next shot, his hands are suddenly around Monk's lower legs. (00:05:55)
Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital - S5-E16
Character mistake: The doctor remarks that his patient has rheumatoid arthritis early in the episode, and later he says osteoarthritis. These are two different conditions. (00:19:15 - 00:28:40)
Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital - S5-E16
Factual error: The doctor says Monk is losing "cranial fluid" when speaking to the interns. He means "cerebrospinal fluid." There is no such thing as "cranial fluid", especially in medicine. (00:28:50)
Mr. Monk and the Other Detective - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: The body in the car park (covered with a yellow sheet) moves around from shot to shot. Sometimes it's parallel to the parking bay lines, other times at an angle over them, or at an angle next to them.
Mr. Monk Visits a Farm - S5-E14
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Randy says that his uncle left him a farm in his will. In the episode "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever", Randy stated that all of his uncles are deceased. Kind of hard to be given a farm from a guy who's been dead since Season 3.
Suggested correction: Not necessarily, as in many cases when someone is trying to claim someone else's inheritance it can take years until such a case is finally resolved by a judge's ruling.
The point of the mistake is Randy said all his uncles are dead, but then later, Harvey Disher is alive. The farm wasn't in some probate court for years, Harvey had died the month before.
True. Obviously my bad! Thank you.
Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: In this episode Natalie expresses she has a long deep fear of voodoo since Mitch was killed. But in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man" (6-8), when Mr. Monk states that he thinks that the criminal is causing him pain using his tattoo with voodoo, Natalie responds to Monk saying "there is no such thing as voodoo."
Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: The firehouse's number is 53, and is seen on the various fire trucks throughout the episode. However, in an establishing shot at the opening of the episode, you can see letters for "Eng. Company 1" and "Truck Company 1" over the garage door. This is because Fire Station 1, located in Los Angeles, was utilized for filming.
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie are arguing at Monk's apartment, Natalie is wearing a ponytail. However, when the scene cuts to them standing in Fendle's hotel room, Natalie's ponytail is gone, and does not reappear for the rest of the episode. It's the same day, however, since she's still wearing the same dark black coat in both scenes. The most likely explanation is that the scene in Monk's apartment was filmed concurrently with Natalie's scenes in "Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs" - the black-collared shirt Natalie is wearing in the second half of the episode appears to be the same one she wears in the previous episode, where her hair is in a ponytail for most of her scenes. (00:19:35 - 00:21:15)
Mr. Monk and the Bully - S7-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monk and the others are in the hotel room where the victim has been discovered, Monk puts a flower onto his suit. Natalie then takes it off the suit, but in the next shot (as he turns around) the flower is still on him.
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Monk enters the Sheriff's office, he is seen straightening out the shades on the front door, so that they are both even about half way down the window. When the Sheriff opens for the woman that was concerned about her relative, in the first shot the right window shade is now pulled all of the way down. Then, when the Sheriff closes the door, both of the shades are now even once again about half way down the window as before.
Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Revealing mistake: During the fight in the kitchen, piles of plates are knocked to the floor. The plates that we see hitting the ground all remain intact. Nevertheless, we hear the sound of plates smashing, and when the aftermath is shown, there is broken crockery everywhere. Clearly the plates used were made of plastic or some other unbreakable substance to minimise injury to the actors and stuntmen.
Mr. Monk and the Astronaut - S4-E14
Continuity mistake: When the Astronaut is talking to the kids in the classroom, the position of his arms changes from by his sides to folded between shots.
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies - S6-E13
Factual error: Monk deflects the policeman's rifle shot and the bullet hits Stottlemeyer's car. But the gun fires just as Monk pushes it aside, and the car is behind them. There's nothing that could deflect the bullet back toward them, so at that angle, there's no way the shot could have struck the car. (00:35:50)
Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever - S3-E12
Other mistake: When Stottlemeyer is about to eat his cake he is looking at Monk. Shortly before he starts to pick up a piece of cake you can see he is pretending to chew a piece in his mouth. Throughout the scene you can see Stottlemeyer's face and the cake. At no point before he pretends to chew does he put a piece in his mouth.
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.
Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: About midway through, the new nurse is sitting on Monk's kitchen counter eating a sandwich. She puts the sandwich down on a plate as she hops off, the shot switches to another angle to include Monk as she walks away, and the sandwich has suddenly jumped off the plate and is now lying on the counter a few feet away. Neither of them had time to pick it up or move it.
Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure - S6-E6
Continuity mistake: When Monk and Dr. Kroger are in the session and Monk asks Dr. Kroger where he got his watch, Dr. Kroger puts his arm on the arm of the chair and his hand across his mouth. From the back, he has his hand on his cheek, but from the front again it is back on his mouth.
Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sharona returns the dog, she opens the gate, turns around and closes & latches the gate. They even make a point of showing the latched gate before she is on the porch. As she is talking to the owner, you see the gate behind her open and then closed between shots. She had latched it, so all scenes should have shown it latched.
