Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy - S8-E8
Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie fall off the bike the bike wheels are on the path. In the next shot they are on grass and the front wheel is at an angle, in the scene where they finish rolling down the hill the bike wheel is now straight.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: After Cowboy Hank twirls his guns, his arms are raised. When it cuts to a shot from behind his back, his left gun is in its holster and his arms are still raised. He then holsters his right gun. (00:39:05)
Mr. Monk and the End - Part II - S8-E16
Continuity mistake: Series 8, episode 16: When the nurse enters, four pill cups are placed orderly, but in the next shot the cups are arranged messily before the nurse touches them. (00:19:10)
Continuity mistake: The shots don't match when Monk gets out of bed to go out and confront the UFO enthusiasts. The position of the bed covers changes noticeably between the close-up and the wider shot. (00:36:20)
Continuity mistake: When Monk takes the dog to the park, they're standing on the curb by the grass when he goes to take the leash off. After he says "get ready", the shot changes and they're not by the curb anymore. They're back on in the next shot.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk - S8-E9
Character mistake: Given how Monk is it seems unlikely he'd forget about being in a dumpster filled with garbage and be able to enjoy a birthday party, even if it's his own.
Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse - S8-E7
Revealing mistake: In the scene where the desks in the office are re-arranged, you can see that all the computers are on but none of them connect to any power point. NB: You can vaguely see that one of the computers is supposedly on Youtube while another is on Google Maps.
Continuity mistake: When the gunman is shooting at the Jeep, he hits and deflates the near side rear tyre. His only shot after this wounds the sheriff. Yet when Monk is walking next to the Jeep, both tyres on this side are flat. Then when Monk starts going for help, the two tyres on the other side are now flat.
Mr. Monk and the Badge - S8-E14
Continuity mistake: During Monk's therapy session with Dr. Bell, his right arm instantly changes positions - from extended to bent and resting in his lap - between takes.
Mr. Monk is Someone Else - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: After the FBI agent asks Monk to go undercover, Stottlemeyer puts his hands on Monk's and Natalie's shoulders and starts escorting them to the door. When the shot cuts to a wider angle, he does this over again. (00:06:05)
Mr. Monk is Someone Else - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: When Monk shoves Harold Krenshaw, there are two ships sitting in the harbor in the background. Later, when the FBI shows Monk photos of the incident taken from the exact same angle, the ships aren't there. (00:27:30)
Mr. Monk is Someone Else - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: In the hotel, when Monk sits down next to Lola, the couch pillows change positions between shots. (00:15:10)
Mr. Monk's Favorite Show - S8-E1
Revealing mistake: The car that explodes isn't sitting in a striped parking lot space. In fact, it's very obviously parked out in the middle of the lot's traffic lane, well away from any other vehicles, precisely because the special effects crew are about to blow it up.
Mr. Monk's Favorite Show - S8-E1
Continuity mistake: Near the end when Monk is doing his usual "Here's what happened" speech, he hands an envelope to the dad. A few minutes later he walks away from the dad, who still has the envelope in his hand. Immediately, the shot changes and Monk, who is not near the dad, has the envelope.
Mr. Monk Goes Camping - S8-E12
Audio problem: At the beginning of Season 8 Episode 12, the round analog dial clock on Monk's nightstand beeps like a battery operated digital travel clock would, and Monk looks over at it. But in Season 8 Episode 16 (at about 38 minutes), that very same clock has a bell type ring that one would expect of a wind up analog dial type clock. (00:01:00 - 00:38:00)
Answer: Stottlemeyer was already upset after the phone call. He was trying to get "Kevin" (who would have to be a judge, but no further character information is given) to issue a restraining order with no evidence of needing one, except that Adrian Monk said she needs one. Kevin said he would need to "sleep on it." So it's clear they've been trying to provide protection and unable to get the results they need, which seems to be based on no one trusting Monk the way Stottlemeyer does. He's just angry that they failed to protect Linda despite all their work. Although it does feel like a scene was cut, or altered, from the show that shows the futile attempts to protect Linda which built up to his outrage.
