Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Revealing mistake: When Monk, Natalie, and Joey are fighting on the roof, the end of the metal pipe in Joey's hand wobbles around a lot, as if the pipe is made of rubber. (00:37:20)

Captain Defenestrator

Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Revealing mistake: Watch as Natalie fights with Harold's cousin on the roof. The same shot where she's barefoot, she's also got thicker hair, indicating a wig on a stunt double.

Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man - S6-E8

Revealing mistake: During the fight between Max and Paulie, the stunt double for Paulie is easy to spot - he has a full head of dark hair, whereas Paulie is gray and largely bald on top. (00:23:30)

Jean G

Mr. Monk Joins a Cult - S6-E11

Revealing mistake: When Monk and Natalie are talking to the cult members, a Culver City bus can be seen driving in the background, which is a Los Angeles bus, but the show takes place in San Francisco. Culver City is home to a lot of movie shooting. (00:09:15)

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

Revealing mistake: When Natalie visits Dale in prison you can tell that Dale is wearing a "fat suit". The suit on his arm is folding up on itself like a glove.

Mistakes

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.

Trivia

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.

Questions

Show generally

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: Notice also that in the opening credits scene when he is touching parking meters her also wipes his hand on his clothes each time he does it.

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.
