Trivia

Both episodes in which Tony Shaloub's former co-stars on "Wings" appear are #13 for their respective seasons: Tim Daly on Season 1, and this one with Steven Weber in Season 5. Tim Daly's appearance took place literally in the air as Monk was flying to New Jersey with Sharona, and this one with Steven Weber took place "on the air," as he plays a radio shock jock.

Goofs

If the technician from the gas company already turned off the main gas valve to the house, as stated to the security guard when he first arrives, then there would be no reason to turn off the gas to the fireplace in the main bedroom as the gas would already be off.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Max Hudson, the jerk on the radio?
Adrian Monk: According to her sister, his wife had recently started taking sleeping pills, 30 milligrams.
Natalie Teeger: Which is the maximum dosage.
Adrian Monk: And it was Max's suggestion.
Natalie Teeger: He went to their doctor personally to fill those prescriptions.
Adrian Monk: Here's what happened: Max is out of town, it's a perfect alibi. He knows his wife will be taking those pills, so she's out cold...
