After Monk gives the drunk a second shot and is looking at the check, the drunk's full water glass is in plain view. He then asks for more water and says to make it a double. The bartender sets down a new glass as it fades to commercial. The full glass that was just seen was not removed from a previous take.
In the scene where we first meet the crazed fan Marcy outside the scene of the crime, the strap on Sharona's bag alternates between being on and off her shoulder.
Brad is shown killing his ex-wife - surely any decent forensic officer could have found out that the blood spatter on his shirt and the floor wasn't consistent with him trying to help his wife. This being a high-profile case, a good blood-spatter analyst should have been consulted.
Captain Stottlemeyer, who was hired to be a consultant on a fictional TV cop show, and Monk are both on the TV set, watching a scene where the actor, who is portraying a cop, sticks his finger in a powdery substance and tastes it to test if it is drugs.
Neither Stottlemeyer or Monk object to this. No cop in real life would ever taste an unknown substance to test it. Not only could it potentially be fatal, but would be against policy as well.
That may all be true but... it's done like that on every police procedural on television, many of which also have police consultants.
