Trivia / Monk S6E15 "Mr. Monk Is on the Run"

• Casting Gag: In a meta example of Swapped Roles, Buffalo Bill is now out to arrest the criminal Jack Crawford, seventeen years after The Silence of the Lambs.
• Development Gag: While on the run, Monk uses the alias "Leland Rodriguez". "Rodriguez" was Monk's last name during the early stages of the series' development.
