Continuity mistake: When the victim's niece is crying and Monk is quizzing her about the house, the position of her hands changes instantly several times as the camera reverses angles. She holds her hands to her face as she cries, for instance, but in the very next shot, her hands are down at her sides. Next cut, they're up to her face again. (00:09:00)
Continuity mistake: In the hardware store, a bright blue sign in the background reads "Electrical" in reverse. When Jake hands Monk his card a few shots later, the camera angle hasn't changed, but the sign has turned around and now reads "Electrical" forwards. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: There are two noticeable continuity errors during the police investigation in Cassie Drake's house. When Stottlemeyer is squatting next to Monk, Monk's right hand instantly changes position between shots. Also notice that there is no sheet over the body at the beginning of the scene, but a few shots later, suddenly the lower part of Cassie's body is covered with a sheet despite no forensic technicians being there to place it. (00:27:00 - 00:27:30)
Continuity mistake: This mistake occurs when Monk and Natalie are sitting on the stairs watching the two men wrecking the walls. Close up shots show Natalie sitting with her legs crossed while the long shot shows her legs bent at the knee side by side.
Continuity mistake: When Monk is asking Ms. Moody if the roof is known, she's crying into both her hands. But in the next shot, she's only crying into her left hand and her right hand is down. The shot changes, and we see her lowering her right hand, not left. In the next shot her left hand is up again.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, we see Cassie with her watch on her left wrist. But in the shot with both her hand on Joseph's back, the watch is on her right wrist.
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: As soon as Monk finishes his summation to Patrick Kloster during the funeral parlor scene, he tells Natalie to call Stottlemeyer, and she walks away to get some privacy. Natalie is still in the background, a few feet away, when the two elderly mourners come in and Monk mistakes the woman in the coffin for the murder victim. Natalie is still visible behind the mourners for the first few shots, but then disappears, and suddenly is standing right beside Monk. (00:19:00 - 00:21:00)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Kloster hands Natalie the cup of lemonade, the cup is about two-thirds full. In the shots from the right side of the car, the level is about the same, but in the shots from the left side of the car, it's almost full. (00:22:30 - 00:23:30)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Monk is telling Captain Stottlemeyer about Trudy's death, he says that by the time he got there, she wasn't even able to speak, that she held his hand and died. However, in "Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale," we learn that Trudy's last words were "Bread and butter," and that she said them to Adrian right before she died.

Mr. Monk Falls In Love - S7-E6
Continuity mistake: The woman sitting and waiting, in the red with a green scarf, is sitting without anyone to the right of her. After a cut, suddenly a man appears sitting next to her on the right. (00:06:45)
Continuity mistake: They interview Jimmy Belmont in prison, who complains how Monk sent him there for killing Randy's uncle in 'Mr. Monk Visits a Farm.' However, in that episode, Monk tricked everyone (including Randy) into believing Randy had solved the murder.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when he is talking to Natalie about quitting since he has solved an even number of crimes, Monk is peeling an orange. The peeling that he is letting dangle from the orange changes from above the counter to touching the counter and back to above the the counter, depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: The Captain hits the murderer at the end with his left hand. In the next shot of the Captain he is shaking his right hand as though that is the hand he used to hit the murderer.
Continuity mistake: The first victim's body and the floor around her are covered with pieces of glass, but the hole in the pane of glass is only about the size of a fist, not nearly big enough to leave that much glass on the ground.

Continuity mistake: When Natalie enters Monk kitchen with a bag of groceries, from one angle the bag is on top of the cutting board. In the side angle she is removing items from the bag on the counter. (00:17:57)
Suggested correction: Sharona was searched first by the female guard.
In fact Sharona breaks away from the female guard to go to Monk. She has NOT been searched.
The correction is correct. The female guard already finished patting Sharona down before the male guard even had a chance to start his pat down of Monk.

Yeah, the correction is correct. I went back six times through that clip: Sharona and Monk both get searched, and then Sharona touches Monk.
