Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Meredith's husband has his heart attack, his head falls into the soup bowl. However, in one shot the bowl (with his head in it) is tilted; after a cut, it is suddenly flat on the plate.
Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Character mistake: At the crime scene, the #8 evidence marker is in the bathroom. When Monk and the Captain are examining the body, a #8 evidence marker is seen on the lamp. They wouldn't use a number more than once at a crime scene.
Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: The position of Gail's body moves at the crime scene from when officers cover her head with the tarp to when the Captain uncovers her a few moments later. At first, her left hand is under her forehead and covered by her hair, but then the hand is away from her head and not covered by hair.
Mr. Monk and the Other Detective - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: When the reporter is interviewing Marty's mom at the crime scene, the reporter lifts the mic to her mouth, but in the next shot the mic is away from her mouth.
Mr. Monk and the Election - S3-E15
Character mistake: Captain Stottlemeyer uses gloves to pick up the letter found sticking out of the pipe. He doesn't actually put the glove on, but still uses it to avoid getting any of his prints, skin, etc on the paper. But then he uses his other, non-gloved hand to open up the note and hold it, and Monk also touches the letter. If he cared about not contaminating evidence by using the glove, he wouldn't touch it bare handed and if he didn't care about touching the note bare handed, then he wouldn't have used the gloves.
Mr. Monk and the Astronaut - S4-E14
Audio problem: When the astronaut is speaking and we hear "I made a mistake, Captain. Five years ago," his lips don't match what we hear him saying. (00:11:10)
Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11
Revealing mistake: When Monk and Natalie are talking to the cult members, a Culver City bus can be seen driving in the background, which is a Los Angeles bus, but the show takes place in San Francisco. Culver City is home to a lot of movie shooting. (00:09:15)
Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: When the Captain is approaching the killer, a piece of wood is protruding from the cart. After a cut, that wood suddenly disappears. The cart has also inexplicably shifted to be much closer to the killer. (00:40:00)
Mr. Monk Falls In Love - S7-E6
Continuity mistake: The woman sitting and waiting, in the red with a green scarf, is sitting without anyone to the right of her. After a cut, suddenly a man appears sitting next to her on the right. (00:06:45)
Continuity mistake: The Captain hits the murderer at the end with his left hand. In the next shot of the Captain he is shaking his right hand as though that is the hand he used to hit the murderer.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Other mistake: Derek tells Beth to meet in their "usual spot" the next day at 8am. The next scene has Derek sitting at his desk and it looks like the kids are already in deep with their SAT tests. Beth falls at 8:25am (as per the clock in the testing room.) There is no way that Derek could have killed Beth, put her on the minute hand (later in episode on the Monk recap, it has 8:15am. If Derek was proctoring a SAT test, I don't know of any that start around 8:20 and immediately in depth.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Factual error: In the cold opening, Derek said that his wife is very smart and got a 1680 on the SAT. This episode takes place in 2003, the writing portion that was added to make the max (2400, not 1600) was in 2005.
Character mistake: It seems throughout the whole series at crime scenes Monk, Randy, and Stottlemeyer handle evidence bare handed. Surely, they should be wearing gloves so as not to contaminate the evidence.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Factual error: The murdered man is killed by poison while having his last meal just before they execute him that night. Death row inmates have their last meal one to two days before they're executed.
Mr. Monk and the Big Game - S5-E3
Factual error: All the players have their first names on the back of their jerseys. They should have their last names on the jerseys for better identification considering some of them would probably have the same first name.
Suggested correction: This isn't a mistake just because a school does it a different way than what you expect. Not to mention that some people also have the same last name, so using the last name would create the same "problem." All they would have to do is add a last name initial.
Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees - S6-E5
Other mistake: Monk wasn't afraid of heights, as he climbed on a chair to unscrew a vent.
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.
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Character mistake: Brian Babbage is such a perfectionist and plans out such an elaborated plan for his crimes that it is very unlikely that he would simply leave the ketchup bottles sticking to the ceiling for the police to be found after he had timed the perfect glue for his plan. Plus, he even had staffers who already knew about the bottles and it would have taken him not more than a single order for the bottles to be removed. (00:23:50)
Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: When Natalie's fighting with Harold's cousin on the roof she loses her shoes. A shot later, and they're back on her feet.
Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7
Revealing mistake: Watch as Natalie fights with Harold's cousin on the roof. The same shot where she's barefoot, she's also got thicker hair, indicating a wig on a stunt double.
