Mr. Monk Goes to the Office - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: When Monk is trying to join the two cops' conversation about football, in the shots from the side of the police car that they're standing near, the two cops are standing less than a foot apart. In the shots from the other side of the car, they're far apart enough for Monk, Natalie, and Captain Stottlemeyer to stand between them. (00:03:00 - 00:05:00)
Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: Monk leaves his front door standing open in anticipation of his new friend's arrival. No one goes near the front hall, but when Hal gets there, he lets himself in by opening a door that has somehow closed itself. (00:10:30 - 00:11:50)
Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: In the jury room, the two windows behind Monk have venetian blinds, which are raised halfway on the right window. But in several shots of the science teacher coming over to identify the white powder, the right window's blinds are pulled down. (00:35:00)
Mr. Monk and the Leper - S5-E10
Continuity mistake: In the final scene, the pillows on Natalie's couch keep shifting positions between shots, from straight to crooked and back again. (00:40:30)
Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11
Continuity mistake: At the end, the grocery bags Natalie carries change shape and orientation several times during Monk's confrontation with "Father." (00:41:00)
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16
Factual error: When Captain Leland Stottlemeyer looks at the postcard that Mr. Monk sent to him, the address shown is for the city of San Francisco with a zip code of 90019. This zip code is for the city of Los Angeles. The actual zip code for the address shown, after checking with the U.S. Postal Service website, is 94105. (00:07:50)
Mr. Monk and the Red Herring - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Monk empties a pocketful of pushpins onto the science teacher's counter top. One rolls to the very edge, separate from the others. A few minutes later, the stray pin is missing. Just before Monk and Natalie leave, however, it reappears on the counter edge.
Mr. Monk Goes to Vegas - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: After Monk tells Randy to hit whilst playing Blackjack, the dealer gives him the Three of Spades. The dealer places it a bit to the right and over the Eight of Spades. The next shot we see of the cards the Three is now completely over the Eight and we can only see a bit of the bottom of the Eight.
Continuity mistake: In "Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees" Natalie mentions she doesn't have a sister when Julie's "boyfriend" says the aunt hired him to break her and her real boyfriend up. Here she has a sister and a niece.
Suggested correction: Natalie doesn't have a sister in this episode. The woman seen is credited as "Aunt Teresa." They're most likely cousins. Children of cousins are often referred to as nieces/nephews. This would make Natalie "Aunt Natalie" to Anne Marie (and Teresa would be "Aunt Teresa" to Julie).
Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When the episode begins, the Employee Of The Month is shown walking into Mega-Mart. The exterior of the store is shown as a cement color and there is a garbage can right beside the front door of Mega-Mart. When the Employee Of The Month is shown opening up the door to the store, just seconds later, you will see the exterior of the building is now yellow and white and there is no longer a garbage can beside the door. Clearly they are using two completely different buildings. (00:00:40)
Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy - S5-E15
Factual error: In real life, the FBI does not have jurisdiction over routine homicide cases, which are almost always left to the local police. They have no jurisdiction over serial murder at all, unless a federal employee is a victim or one of the murders gets committed on federal property (like an army base, federal prison or national park, or on sovereign territory like a reservation). The only time the FBI would be involved in a homicide is if the individual crossed state lines in committing the crime.
Mr. Monk Meets His Dad - S5-E9
Visible crew/equipment: Jack opens the diner door for Monk, and its glass window panes mirror the camera crew and a big rectangular studio reflector. (00:29:00)
Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When Randy and his 'girlfriend' are having take-away (take-out) food, the girlfriend says, "Before he died, he said he's always look out for me". As she says this, her arms are resting on the table, but in the next shot her elbows are on the table and her hands are together just under her chin.
Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: The needle Monk finds in the campers' sewing kit threads itself instantaneously between takes. He finds the spool of orange thread, and in the very next shot, tho there's absolutely no indication of any time passing, he's holding the already-threaded needle. (00:22:00)
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: In the police station, Julie's hair is neatly combed over her left shoulder. Then it's disarrayed and partially falling over her right shoulder, too. Then it's neat and only on the left side again. (00:27:45)
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: The damage to Stottlemeyer's new car doesn't remain consistent from shot to shot. The dents change configuration and the angle of the torn fender also changes. (00:40:15)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Factual error: Lt. Albright shows Monk and Natalie the "USS Seattle", a "Class 4 Submarine". US sub classes have names, not numbers, so she would be Los Angeles, Seawolf or Virginia class.
Mr. Monk and the Naked Man - S6-E3
Character mistake: SPOILER ALERT Monk accuses Arlene Boras of swapping Peter Magneri's X-rays in order to hide the fact that he has a potentially lethal aortic aneurysm. We see Magneri being examined and we see Boras handling his records, and they are not X-rays. Magneri was examined in an MRI scanner and Boras swaps the MRI scans - not X-rays.
Mr. Monk and the Big Game - S5-E3
Factual error: The hair dryer would not have hurt anyone as it was plugged into a FCI outlet. These outlets will immediately sense the interruption and cut the power to ensure electrical safety. The coach would have been alive. (00:02:23)
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Character mistake: When Kathy is presenting her model of General Robert E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9th, 1865, she incorrectly states that the surrender occurred "at the courthouse in Appomattox, Virginia." The surrender didn't take place at the actual courthouse, but rather at the McLean House, a private residence selected by Grant and his aides for the meeting of two of the greatest generals in American history. This is a common misconception as the village itself is called Appomattox Courthouse. (00:29:05)
