Factual error: Since Stottlemeyer is accused of being involved in the lotto fraud he would not be allowed to take this case himself.
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: Right after the taxi driver drives off and the couple approaches Monk and Natalie there is a man passing by right behind the couple, but when camera angle changes within a split second that man is gone.
Adrian Monk: Here's what happened.
Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico - S2-E2
Trivia: According to co-producer Tom Scharpling, the Mexican homicide cops are purposely written as parodies of Stottlemeyer and Disher, right down to their attitudes, their ranks, their suits, and Captain Alameda's mustache. Even the bumbling lieutenant's name is a little joke on Disher. Plato means "dish" in Spanish.
Question: If Monk is afraid of germs, then why does he keep touching things that could possibly have germs on them like parking meters or books?
Answer: That's the thing about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It's not something rational. He just has to touch things like that. It's not something he can rationally think through. However, since part of his disorder includes an obsession with cleanliness, he also has an assistant walk around handing him wipes periodically. It's like when he gets a cold and uses both a humidifier (because that's what you use when you're congested) and a dehumidifier (to counteract the effects of the humidifier). He may spout rationalizations after he does something, but his compulsions exist outside of any rational thought whatever.
