Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter checking the roof for bullet casings from the shooting, Monk finds one in a hidden slot. Leland identifies it and tells Randy to call Grooms at the bureau and to notify ATF. Agent Grooms appeared in S3:E12 "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever (2005)". He was the Agent in Charge of keeping Adrian safe at the hideout cabin, along with Leland and Natalie.
- GoofsWhen Monk find the AK47 casing on the rooftop, Randy collects using his own hands without gloves. Since it was evidence, he should never have touched the bullet that way to avoid contaminating the evidences.
- Quotes
[while Stottlemeyer and Monk question Harold Krenshaw, Stottlemeyer takes a bite of a coconut donut]
Harold Krenshaw: Now you have to eat a sugar one.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Don't want a sugar one.
Adrian Monk: Then you could take three more coconuts and two chocolate.
Harold Krenshaw: Or two coconuts and two glazed.
Adrian Monk: Or he could just eat all of them. That would be easier.
Harold Krenshaw: That's a good idea.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Or, I can do this.
[takes the box, mashes it, then folds it in half, and pokes a hole in the middle]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: There. Now there's *one* donut. One big damn donut.

Written and Performed by Randy Newman
"Monk" series usually presents great crimes that are solved by the brilliant detective with phobias. However, "Mr. Monk and the Election" is a predictable and silly episode, and the comedy is awful, with Monk becoming a ridiculous and exaggerated character. His donut dispute with Krenshaw in the precinct, his questions to Krenshaw during the debate, his phobia to vote in Natalie during the election and the scene in the parking area are illogical, dumb and not funny. My vote is six.
