Continuity mistake: When the bomb lands in Sharona's arms it's opening faces towards her. But in the next shot it faces away from her although the motion detector was set to detonate the bomb at the slightest movement.
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When his wife visits Stottlemeyer in his office he fills the running waterfall with coffee, but later in that scene when he holds her hand to promise her that he will investigate the the old man's death the waterfall is empty again. (00:04:40 - 00:07:10)
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: In the cemetery scene, Stottlemeyer approaches the grave of the 17 year old open case hit and run victim. The dates on his grave are 1980-1997. But in Dennis Gammill's confession letter in the end, it says he killed the boy in December 1998.
Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: In this episode Randy is allergic to cats, in fact he has an allergic reaction even if a cat has been there lately but is not there now. But in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect, during the scene where Monk and the police are investigating the woman's destroyed house, a cat passes within a few feet of Randy, who doesn't sneeze or show any signs of his allergy.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: When Stottlemeyer and Disher are interviewing Dale the Whale in the bed, in the scene where the fat guy says "Is that a bagel?", Disher's bagel keeps changing size as the camera angle switches, getting bigger and smaller.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Monk is leaving Derek Philby's classroom, he is quite content to just pick up a piece of chalk (with his bare hands) to write on the blackboard, but earlier, he makes sure to use a chalk holder to do this and nearly has a panic attack when he gets chalk dust on himself.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: A fight breaks out in the prison laundry, and Monk crawls into a giant dryer to hide, pulling the door mostly shut after him. But in the very next shot of the fight raging on, the dryer door is visible in the background - wide open. Next shot after that, it's shut again, and Monk sneaks it open to peek out. (00:42:00)
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Monk spills the potted plant and grabs a vacuum cleaner from the hall, he's holding the handle with several large paper towels. When he plugs the vacuum in, he now has a wipe in his hand instead. When he's finished plugging in and turns around, the wipe has vanished and there's nothing in his hands or on the vacuum. But when we cut to a wider shot as he turns the vacuum on, the paper towels reappear on the handle.
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the school tower murder scene, Randy's coat is buttoned up over his tie, but changes suddenly when Stottlemeyer says, "OK, bring him up." The coat is immediately unbuttoned and open all the way in the very next shot.
Mr. Monk Meets the Playboy - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Dexter places the sapphire necklace on Amber at a completely crooked angle. When the shot cuts, though, it has instantly straightened and centered itself.
Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Monk throws the bomb into the toilet and shuts the door, pulling it towards him. When we see him hit by the blast there's no door in the way, and in the reverse shot looking into the bathroom the door has swung open into the room again, despite the blast radiating outwards. Plus it should have destroyed the door anyway.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: One of the times the prison guard is attempting to pat down Monk, his hands are approaching Monk's abdomen. After a cut to the next shot, his hands are suddenly around Monk's lower legs. (00:05:55)
Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sharona returns the dog, she opens the gate, turns around and closes & latches the gate. They even make a point of showing the latched gate before she is on the porch. As she is talking to the owner, you see the gate behind her open and then closed between shots. She had latched it, so all scenes should have shown it latched.
Mr. Monk and the Paperboy - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When Monk says "I can bench 200", you can tell he has his arms by his sides, but in the next shot, his hands are held up at the level of his waist. (00:12:15)
Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In the pre-credits sequence, Karen attaches a clip to the right side of Leland's shirt, but a few seconds later, there is none on his right side. They are all on his left side. They also disappear and reappear.
Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: The large blue Nazi/Swastika tattoo on the left side of the head Nazi's neck changes from being neat and symmetrical to uneven during the course of the episode. This is most noticeable when comparing the exercise-yard "you stole the watch" scene to the black-and-white "solving the case" flashback scene.
Mr. Monk and the T.V. Star - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: The blood stains on Brad Terry's sweatshirt change positions after he runs back into the house. A few shots later, they're suddenly so faint they're barely visible at all anymore. Blood stains don't fade, at least not in just a few minutes.
Mr. Monk and the Three Pies - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When Van Rankin takes the borrowed flour from his kitchen counter and hands it to Sharona, it's in a standard paper flour sack, and the counter is clean. Later, there's flour dust on the counter and the impression of a large, round flour tin - like the one in Monk's kitchen - instead of an imprint of the paper sack. (00:37:20)
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Capt Stottlemeyer is vacuuming Monk's floor, you see the living room has wall-to-wall carpet. But just minutes later when they show the floor again, it is just a throw rug over hardwood floors. The room no longer has wall-to-wall carpet.
Suggested correction: It's never wall-to-wall carpeting. It's always a rug, and the Captain even calls it a rug. In the shot of the vacuum and the Captain's feet, you can see the hardwood floor behind him.
Earlier there was no rug at all. They were fighting about the coffee table and you could hear the scrapping noise of the coffee table on the bare floor.
Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Stottlemeyer moves the snake, the pinecone falls on the ground. The next scene, where Monk is on the table and talks to Stottlemeyer, the pinecone is back on the shelf. (00:25:26 - 00:26:36)
