- TriviaLt. Disher was originally supposed to wear Superman pajamas, but because of licensing wore Capt. America pajamas instead.
- GoofsMaria says that she was going blind due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP) until she received a cornea transplant. This makes no sense as retinitis pigmentosa affects the retina while the cornea is at the front of the eye and a corneal transplant would not affect the retina at the back of the eyeball.

Featured review
Mr. Monk on the streets of San Francisco
Monk is walking down a busy San Francisco street when he encounters a Hispanic woman appearing to be in her mid 40s. There is nothing unusual about her appearance. Suddenly Monk takes off in the crowd, pursuing her. But she is lost to him in the sea of people. Monk suddenly gets insomnia from constantly thinking of this woman. He tells Dr. Kroger he hasn't slept in three days. Kroger asks him if he could somehow be attracted to this woman, and oddly Monk doesn't disagree.
Monk decides to take a walk one night, hoping to get tired enough to finally sleep. While on his walk he sees the same woman he has been obsessing about again. She is a taxi driver. She doesn't hear Monk call out to her and she drives off. He takes chase for awhile, but finally gives up.
When he does give up he finds himself in an alley where three people are emerging from a vehicle and going into the kitchen of a restaurant. His cop instincts take over and he wonders if he is seeing some kind of crime in progress. He peers through the window to the restaurant kitchen and sees an argument take place, one of the men claims to be a cop. One of the other two men shoot him, apparently killing him. Then both of the two men run away. Monk calls the police, but Stottlemeyer and Disher find the restaurant kitchen tidy and in order and there is no body. What goes on here with both of these mysteries? Watch and find out.
This episode of Monk deviates from the normal formula as it mainly takes place on the streets of San Francisco at night. It's mainly Monk chasing down leads or having leads just fall into his lap as he wanders the streets. It's got the style of a film noir from the 40s. And it has an ending that both explains everything and is heartwarming.
