Trivia / Monk S3E8 "Mr. Monk and the Game Show"

• California Doubling: The episode averted the using-Los-Angeles-as-stand-in-for-San-Francisco type because Monk and Kevin Dorfman are taken to Los Angeles by Dwight Ellison for the investigation.
• Technology Marches On: The crux of the solution relies on Val Birch having called his voicemail to record Lizzie Talvo's dying words in order to blackmail Roddy Lankman. Nowadays, Val could likely have just used a voice recording program on a smartphone to have accomplished the same thing.
• The Other Darrin: Melora Hardin takes over the role of Trudy Monk from Stellina Rusich in this episode.
