Monk

Mr. Monk Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Monk kicks an oil drum across the floor toward Rawlins. In the master shot, it rolls half the distance and passes a black line on the concrete. The angle changes to a view from behind Monk and Natalie as the barrel keeps rolling and almost reaches Rawlins. But when the master shot returns, the barrel is again just passing the midway line on the floor. (00:25:00)

Mr. Monk and the Naked Man - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: While Monk and co. question Vicky's roommate, two throw pillows behind her on the couch shift their orientations several times from shot to shot. The larger one also moves from the couch corner to a spot behind the woman's left arm and then back again. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Dale Biederbeck is screaming at Monk, Dale is sitting in his wheelchair with both his hands down in his lap. The shot cuts in the middle of his sentence, and suddenly he has one hand up on the cell bars. (00:40:30)

Suggested correction: When he says Adrian is trapped in a worse prison, you see him put his hands on the bar. They're not in his lap.

Mr. Monk Is on the Run (1) - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: When Natalie comes into her house and realizes Monk is there (because he's reorganized the refrigerator), the first camera shot after she closes the refrigerator door shows a Tupperware container with a blue lid just to the right of the refrigerator (facing it) that is slightly turned so that is is not parallel to the refrigerator's side, and then just to the right of the container is a blender with the top lid off. When Randy shows up moments later, there is a camera shot that shows that the Tupperware is now square with the refrigerator's side, and it appears to be a different Tupperware than the first shot, as it looks bigger and appears to have more stored inside of it and it does not appear to have a blue lid. Also, the blender now has the top lid on it. In a third shot, the blender has now moved to the right at least 12 inches, which is confirmed while Natalie is preparing the smoothie: it can be seen that it has moved from its previous position and the blue topped Tupperware has returned. Finally, when Natalie starts to prepare the smoothie, the top of the blender is off and it is not ever seen that she removed the lid herself.

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 Is on the Run (2) - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: When Monk and Natalie are watching the video of Dale, Monk puts his hand behind the screen (like he's blocking the sun to see it better) and Natalie is holding it on the bottom. When the shot changes to the screen, there're no hands behind it.

Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: When the lady that just "bought" Randy gives him his shirt you can see from behind that he closes one button of his shirt. But in the next shot 2 seconds later there are at least 5 buttons closed already.

Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: After Dr. Kroger tosses Trudy's picture to the floor, Monk drops the book he's been holding onto the mattress and kneels to retrieve the photo. In the next shot, the book has jumped to a spot on the floor beside him. (00:34:00)

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 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.

More trivia for Monk

Answer: Stottlemeyer was already upset after the phone call. He was trying to get "Kevin" (who would have to be a judge, but no further character information is given) to issue a restraining order with no evidence of needing one, except that Adrian Monk said she needs one. Kevin said he would need to "sleep on it." So it's clear they've been trying to provide protection and unable to get the results they need, which seems to be based on no one trusting Monk the way Stottlemeyer does. He's just angry that they failed to protect Linda despite all their work. Although it does feel like a scene was cut, or altered, from the show that shows the futile attempts to protect Linda which built up to his outrage.
