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 Makes the Playoffs - S7-E13
Revealing mistake: 7-13, "Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs": The supposedly live stadium crowd outside Bob Costas' press box is a noticeably fake photo-backdrop. Not a single "person" in the multitude of thousands is moving. (00:40:10)

Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage - S4-E12
Revealing mistake: In their efforts to hide Gerald's pet mouse from the hospital staff, Randy and Natalie toss the rodent back and forth and alternate hiding him in their pockets. But every time he's tossed, Devo the Mouse gains weight. In fact, Devo's (stuffed?) stunt-mouse double is at least twice Devo's actual size. (00:27:00)

Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man - S6-E8
Revealing mistake: During the fight between Max and Paulie, the stunt double for Paulie is easy to spot - he has a full head of dark hair, whereas Paulie is gray and largely bald on top. (00:23:30)

Mr. Monk Goes to a Fashion Show - S4-E10
Revealing mistake: The fan letter Monk wrote to shirt Inspector 8, shown in close-up where it hangs on her work station wall, consists of the same paragraph printed out twice. (00:06:45)

Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: The VW Beetle that slides out of the dump truck and rolls over is noticeably not the same car the victim was driving earlier. It's a lighter color, and is already badly dented, even before it's wrecked.
