During a close-up shot of the side of the bulldozer, we see that the "C" in the brand decal "CAT" has been modified to an "O" so that it reads "OAT." The next shot is of the front of the bulldozer where we can clearly read "CATERPILLAR". In yet the next shot, showing the opposite side of the bulldozer, the decal clearly reads "CAT."
When the power plant bomber places the first bomb, the kitchen timer he uses as the detonation device does not begin to tick until he attaches the electrodes. A mechanical timer like he was using would begin ticking as soon as it was wound.
When placing the second bomb, he winds the timer after connecting the electrodes and it begins to tick as it should. However, he winds it at least a quarter-turn, which, assuming that the timer is a sixty-minute timer as most are, would cause the alarm to go off in about fifteen minutes. Unless the elevator ride was extremely slow, Monk and Michelle should have been able to make it down and out in time.

Every time they change scenes from the gauge that Monk keeps tapping on in the beginning, the reading changes.
Monk puts on night vision goggles (NVGs) shortly after the power is lost in his apartment. However, when the power comes back on, Monk is still wearing the goggles and can see just as well. In reality, a person wearing NVGs would not be able to see when the lights are on. NVGs either 'blackout' or go white when the lights are turned on. In the latter case, the brightness does not cause eye pain or injury to the eyes, which is a common misconception.
A bulldozer trying to uproot a tree that size would have had to contend with a much larger root structure than the one depicted in the scene. It wouldn't have been so easily toppled.
Before the lights go out, Benji, Monk, and Sharona are on the couch. But then when the lights go out, Benji is behind the couch.
No, he isn't. He's on the couch the entire time.

When they send documents up to Alby, Monk puts a closed blue plastic back into the bucket, Alby pulls out a manila/brown file.
Yes, Monk put a bunch of packs of wipes into the bucket (the blue packets), but Disher also put a brown folder in, the documents Stottlemeyer tells Alby about at that same time. So that would be the folder Alby pulls out of the bucket.

Near the end when Sharona is trying to call the police, she hears the "fast busy" signal and says the line is dead. A dead line would be silent.
In the beginning during the first blackout, a shot of the San Francisco skyline shows different sections of town blacking out one after the other. As is the case in many movies, the sound of a clicking switch can be heard when each set of lights goes out. Switches had nothing to do with the blackout, and no switch would be loud enough to be heard from the camera's perspective at least a half-mile outside of town.
Everyone talks about Monk's date with Michelle like it's a big revelation, and that he's taking a "baby step" toward moving on from Trudy. Everyone, including Monk, seems to have forgotten he went on a post-Trudy date in Season 1's Mr. Monk and the Other Woman (2002).
