Mr. Monk's Other Brother - S7-E10
Revealing mistake: When Reese opens fire on Adrian, Jack and Natalie at his house, in a shot from Reese's perspective, the squibs from bullet hits on the ground appear to be below the barrel's trajectory. The bullets should be hitting the ground closer to his targets' feet.
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.
Adrian Monk: I don't know how he did it. But he did it.
Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11
Trivia: The cult leader, Ralph Roberts, is played by Howie Mandel of Deal Or No Deal, who suffers from OCD in real life.
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.
