Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty - S4-E16
Corrected entry: Monk shouldn't be allowed to do jury duty because he is a detective and his views towards the accused could be partial.
Mr. Monk Goes to the Office - S4-E4
Corrected entry: How could the police not have found the killer the next day? He was chewing on a toothpick and left it at the crime scene. That's DNA.
Correction: Your DNA has to be on record for them to immediately know who you are. If it's not, then they have to take a sample from you and match the two up, and they can't even force you to provide a DNA sample without sufficient evidence pointing toward you. Apparently the killer didn't have a sample of his DNA on record.
Corrected entry: At the end of the episode, he goes outside to sit on his porch and he is in an apartment building. In all prior seasons he lived in a house.
Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11
Corrected entry: It's late at night when Roger is stung by hundreds of bees at the lookout point. But bees (both the European and Africanized varieties) are not active in late night hours. They're diurnal (active only during the day). Unless something breaks into their hive, which doesn't happen here, they don't fly or swarm at night. (00:42:00)
Correction: Maybe it is early in the morning and did he not drop the waitress's body down lookout point? Also the body could very well have triggered the bees and the hornets.
Mr. Monk Goes to a Fashion Show - S4-E10
Corrected entry: It is implied in this episode that Monk only wears one style of shirt, but in other episodes he has worn different shirts (albeit similar).
Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa - S4-E9
Corrected entry: The title of the episode does not match the plot, since in the show the gifts are not given secretly. As the name suggests "secret Santa" is when the identity of the person giving the gift is secret. In the episode, the names are drawn out of a hat and are then handed by the person giving the gift to the recipient. The identity of the giver is not secret. More correct would be "randomly allocated Santa".
Correction: The gift exchange itself was not a secret, but the murderer sent the bottle of port to Stottlemeyer under a fake business name. The murderer was the Secret Santa.
Correction: Actually it would be called secret Santa because the identity of the giver is not known until the gift is given. The game is called secret Santa because it is a secret who Santa is until the gift is given. In different areas of the country it is done and named differently. Some you must even guess who gave you the gift, which I think would have been a more interesting plot but probably too long to make.
Mr. Monk Bumps His Head - S4-E11
Corrected entry: Debbie's pet bird is called a parakeet, but it's a much larger exotic bird. It's unlike Monk, whose other OCD eccentricities and obscure knowledge are in full force despite his amnesia, not to know the difference. Monk may not know every rare species by name, but parakeets (aka budgerigars) are household pets common enough that anyone would know Debbie's bird isn't one. Monk definitely would have known.
Correction: The term parakeet is used to describe any small-medium parrot species, like Debbie's bird, not just the commonly owned household budgerigar. Monk's identification was correct.
Correction: Not so. It is at the discretion of both the Prosecuting and Defense Attorney whom they seat on the jury and whom they excuse, taking into consideration the type of trial, nature of the offense and credibility of the juror. My father is a retired police officer and was called for jury duty and seated three times during and after his tenure with the police department.
