Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Monk is leaving Derek Philby's classroom, he is quite content to just pick up a piece of chalk (with his bare hands) to write on the blackboard, but earlier, he makes sure to use a chalk holder to do this and nearly has a panic attack when he gets chalk dust on himself.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the school tower murder scene, Randy's coat is buttoned up over his tie, but changes suddenly when Stottlemeyer says, "OK, bring him up." The coat is immediately unbuttoned and open all the way in the very next shot.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Mr Monk completes his name on the chalk board at the beginning of class, but when class is dismissed the 'k' in Monk is incomplete.
Suggested correction: After he wrote his name, he says "what's up with that k?" and erases it. He started to re-write the k when he got hit by the eraser, leaving it unfinished.
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When his wife visits Stottlemeyer in his office he fills the running waterfall with coffee, but later in that scene when he holds her hand to promise her that he will investigate the the old man's death the waterfall is empty again. (00:04:40 - 00:07:10)
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Stottlemeyer moves the snake, the pinecone falls on the ground. The next scene, where Monk is on the table and talks to Stottlemeyer, the pinecone is back on the shelf. (00:25:26 - 00:26:36)
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: In the cemetery scene, Stottlemeyer approaches the grave of the 17 year old open case hit and run victim. The dates on his grave are 1980-1997. But in Dennis Gammill's confession letter in the end, it says he killed the boy in December 1998.
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Capt Stottlemeyer is vacuuming Monk's floor, you see the living room has wall-to-wall carpet. But just minutes later when they show the floor again, it is just a throw rug over hardwood floors. The room no longer has wall-to-wall carpet.
Suggested correction: It's never wall-to-wall carpeting. It's always a rug, and the Captain even calls it a rug. In the shot of the vacuum and the Captain's feet, you can see the hardwood floor behind him.
Earlier there was no rug at all. They were fighting about the coffee table and you could hear the scrapping noise of the coffee table on the bare floor.
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When the Captain is eating his sandwich while talking to Monk, the position of the sandwich and amount eaten keeps changing. He'll have it in his hand, but in the next shot it's on the plate. And you see him take a 2nd bite, but later only 1 bite has been taken.
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When the bomb lands in Sharona's arms it's opening faces towards her. But in the next shot it faces away from her although the motion detector was set to detonate the bomb at the slightest movement.
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Monk spills the potted plant and grabs a vacuum cleaner from the hall, he's holding the handle with several large paper towels. When he plugs the vacuum in, he now has a wipe in his hand instead. When he's finished plugging in and turns around, the wipe has vanished and there's nothing in his hands or on the vacuum. But when we cut to a wider shot as he turns the vacuum on, the paper towels reappear on the handle.
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Monk throws the bomb into the toilet and shuts the door, pulling it towards him. When we see him hit by the blast there's no door in the way, and in the reverse shot looking into the bathroom the door has swung open into the room again, despite the blast radiating outwards. Plus it should have destroyed the door anyway.
Mr. Monk Meets the Playboy - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Dexter places the sapphire necklace on Amber at a completely crooked angle. When the shot cuts, though, it has instantly straightened and centered itself.
Mr. Monk and the Paperboy - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When Monk says "I can bench 200", you can tell he has his arms by his sides, but in the next shot, his hands are held up at the level of his waist. (00:12:15)
Mr. Monk and the Paperboy - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: Stottlemeyer says "does that make any sense to you?" as Monk is straightening the pots on the mantelpiece - all the lid handles are horizontal. The camera cuts away for a second, cuts back, and the lid on the far right has suddenly rotated 90°, whereupon Monk straightens it to be horizontal like the others.
Mr. Monk and the Three Pies - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When Van Rankin shoots his wife, the black gym bag, which has been slung over his shoulder since he entered the kitchen, disappears between shots. (00:31:05)
Mr. Monk and the Three Pies - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When Van Rankin takes the borrowed flour from his kitchen counter and hands it to Sharona, it's in a standard paper flour sack, and the counter is clean. Later, there's flour dust on the counter and the impression of a large, round flour tin - like the one in Monk's kitchen - instead of an imprint of the paper sack. (00:37:20)
Mr. Monk and the T.V. Star - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: The blood stains on Brad Terry's sweatshirt change positions after he runs back into the house. A few shots later, they're suddenly so faint they're barely visible at all anymore. Blood stains don't fade, at least not in just a few minutes.
Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: In this episode Randy is allergic to cats, in fact he has an allergic reaction even if a cat has been there lately but is not there now. But in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect, during the scene where Monk and the police are investigating the woman's destroyed house, a cat passes within a few feet of Randy, who doesn't sneeze or show any signs of his allergy.
Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: Monk identifies the kidnappers' house by the pizza box outside by the bin. In the wide shot it's upside down on its corner, with "zza" just visible behind a black bag. In the closeup it's turned around, so we can see more letters, and it's moved.
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.
