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.

It really is an error because in the opening, when the coach called "Emily," one of the players responded, "Which Emily?" As soon as the second Emily joined the team, the school would have changed the jerseys. Of course, in a school team, siblings may join the team, so first and last names would likely both be incorporated.

Mr. Monk and the End - Part I - S8-E15

Continuity mistake: In 3-7 "Employee of the Month", Joe Christie says he was with Monk when he got the news of Trudy's death. He said Monk had been laughing, and that he never heard him laugh again. In this episode Monk and Stottlemeyer get called to the scene of a crime, a women's clinic. In this episode there is a flashback to the exact same location years earlier and to Stottlemeyer getting the phone call about Trudy's death. He and Monk were working a case that day and Joe Christie was not present.

Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike - S5-E2

Question: Why would it have been political suicide if it was discovered that Mayor Nicholson was secretly meeting with Cusack to end the garbage strike? If anything, if the people found out that they were meeting to find a way to end the garbage strike, wouldn't that have made everybody happy considering how much garbage was piling up all over the city?

Answer: The two men are trying to work out a secret deal between them without involving the union, which means the workers' interests aren't being represented and defeats the whole purpose of a union. The mayor would lose labor's support and Cusack's union troubles would just be starting.
