Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9

Corrected entry: The pharmacist's plan is really stupid. He changes all their meds so they don't work, after drinking from the fountain he changed them back so it appears the fountain healed them. The problem is if they think the fountain healed them they're not going to take their meds, so their pain would come back.

Correction: He didn't just change their medication so it didn't work, he changed it so they actually got sicker or worse. Even if they stopped taking their real medication, they'd still feel better than before when they were worse off and still think it was the fountain. But since he wasn't trying to scam anyone out of any money, he didn't need a long term solution for when their pain came back. Just enough to stop the monastery from digging up the fountain.

Bishop73

Correction: Just because something isn't explained doesn't make it a plot hole. But his wife said Patrick took a $10M life insurance policy out on her, so that's one reason.

Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5

Corrected entry: The skipper of the submarine announces himself as Captain Whitaker just before kicking in the door during the opening segment. The actual rank on his shoulder boards are of a Commander. A Captain would have 4 stripes on his shoulder boards not 3 (commander).

Correction: He is introducing himself as the captain of the ship, not his rank. In the US Navy, all ship commanders are called "Captain" regardless of their rank. So even though he's a Commander, he can still be referred to as "Captain"

Correction: There are prisons that house both men and women. For example, Folsom State Prison in California currently hoses both male and female.

Bishop73

Well then they should have Saturday night dances. It'd hopefully discourage escapes by giving them interaction, conjugal visits, should they have nobody on the outside.

Rob245

Correction: His favorite brand changed to Summit Creek in season 6. It was stated in Mr. Monk's biggest fan by Marcy Maven.

Correction: While it's the same actor, he's playing a different character. In this episode he's Detective Burns, not Terry Chasen.

Mr. Monk Buys A House - S7-E1

Corrected entry: In the scene where Monk, Natalie, Stottlemeyer and Disher open Cassie Drake's front door and find her body, notice that Disher pulls the front door outwards. Most front doors open inwards.

Correction: Not all front doors open in. Ours doesn't.

Mr. Monk Goes to Jail - S2-E16

Factual error: Death row prisoners cannot donate organs. No doctor participates in an execution and after the lethal injection the medical examiner must wait at least fifteen minutes to test for cardiac activity before pronouncing the prisoner dead. This is enough time for hypoxia to render the heart, lungs and kidneys useless for transplant. Apart from this, organs intended for transplant must be removed within minutes of the death of the donor. Prisoners are not executed in operating theatres.

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.

Bishop73

Answer: While walking upstairs in the victims house randy starts messing with his out of place tennis shoes. When he gets upstairs to monks he has on other shoes. Could have to do with the expensive rug.
