* {{Expy}}: ''In Focus'', a show like NBC's ''Series/{{Dateline}}'', profiles Adrian Monk as he solves his 100th case.
* FreezeFrameBonus: ''In Focus'' is produced by David Hoberman, who in real life is an executive producer on ''Monk'', including this episode. There are other names on the ''In Focus'' end credits, but Stottlemeyer changes the channel to a basketball game.
* GenericCopBadges: Early on in the ''In Focus'' episode, Novak says that Monk's psychological condition was so bad he had to surrender his badge. We see Badge 8396 on the screen very briefly. While it does look like an authentic SFPD badge, there's nothing to indicate that it was ever Monk's actual badge, nor is it necessarily the badge that a cop like Monk would have had in real life back then.

** LoonyFan Marci Maven (Creator/SarahSilverman) had forsaken Monk in favor of Creator/FMurrayAbraham at the end of [[Recap/MonkS6E1MrMonkAndHisBiggestFan "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan,"]] but she couldn't pass up the opportunity to appear on ''In Focus''. It's likely that no one had stepped up to take over the presidency of the Adrian Monk Fan Club in the interim. It could even be the case that Marci was the sole member of the fan club.
** Previously Monk had not spoken to his brother Ambrose for years because the latter hadn't called him after Trudy's murder (and that was because the latter felt guilty). Now, Monk went to his childhood home (which was where Ambrose lived where they got back together) and sat in a chair right after the murder.
** Before, Trudy's age when she died was 34; in this episode, it was 35.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Creator/EricMcCormack and Tim Bagley (Harold Krenshaw) both appear on ''Series/WillAndGrace'', the former as the titular Will, the latter as Larry on seventeen episodes, almost all of them prior to this ''Monk'' episode.
