All Happy Families... - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Tony, Carmela, and AJ are meeting with AJ's school guidance counselor. Partway through the meeting, AJ is asked to leave. When AJ stands up, he is wearing beige-coloured trousers, but as the shot changes to show him walking out the door, he is now wearing black trousers. (00:15:30)

Remember When - S6-E15

Visible crew/equipment: While Tony and Paulie are alone aboard the rented boat, Tony questions Paulie about being the joke leak. When Paulie denies it and says, "It wasn't me, Ton'... That's right," Tony lifts his beer and drinks. It then cuts to a wide shot of the swaying boat, and at the top of the screen, we see a hand move atop the steering wheel at the helm; we even see the top of the hair of this crouching crew member as the wind blows, right before this shot cuts away.

Join the Club - S6-E2

Visible crew/equipment: During one of Tony's coma dreams, when the hotel elevator is out of order, Tony uses the stairway and then ends up falling down a flight of stairs. Just before he lands, we can see a crew member's hands holding a camera steady (filming the stunt double's close-up view) at the bottom left corner of the screen.

The Army of One - S3-E13

Visible crew/equipment: When AJ tries on his new military school uniform, he's pressured to also put on the hat. Then, after AJ looks at himself in the mirror, just as he walks back toward his mother, the reflection of the boom mic becomes visible in that mirror directly over Carmela's reflection, at the right side of the screen.

Visible crew/equipment: Livia and Junior have a chat about Tony while waiting in line for a movie matinee. It then cuts to the Soprano house, and in the next overhead shot of Tony sprawled on his bed, we can see the T-mark on the floor near the door. In a moment, Lilliana knocks and enters to remind Tony of his appointment.

House Arrest - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After the loud crash is heard, everyone rushes to the front door of Satriale's. Just as Paulie and Tony open the two front doors in this exterior shot, the reflections of the camera and its operator are visible on the store's glass, at the right side of the screen.

Knight in White Satin Armor - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Janice is trying on her wedding gown with Carmela, her tattoo is gone. However, in all the other shots, her tattoo is above her cleavage line, between her boobs. It's nowhere to be seen in the wedding dress shots.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Actually, her tattoo is visible. The style of the wedding dress she had on was obviously chosen for the way that it NEARLY covered up the tattoo. It is easily seen if your eyes are not glued to her cleavage near the 19 minute mark.

Sorry. There is no way her tattoo is covered up. I looked at the prior engagement party scene and jumped to the wedding dress, this is an error. There is no covering it up.

The tattoo is there and it is definitely covered up. Look at her right boob, not left, since we are seeing a reflection of her in the mirror, and you'll find that tattoo all right.

Suggested correction: Actually there is more than one shot where you can't see the tattoo at all. It depends on the angle. In most shots the top of the tattoo is always visible and in others it's not at all.

Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Question: In the credits a character is shown as "2 to 5 / 7 to 9". Who is this character and what is the significance of her name?

Answer: I'm not sure which person you're referring to here specifically, but the meaning is someone who makes a habit of constantly going to funeral calling hours (normally 2pm-5pm and 7pm to 9pm) for morbid entertainment or gossip purposes (elderly ladies, for example).

Ryan Grubb

Answer: In "Proshai, Livushka", she's the person talking to Meadow in the hall, while Tony watches, and says to Meadow, "I'm so sorry about your grandmother." She also appears and is credited in s03e05, "Another Toothpick" and s03e13, "Army of One." In s06e18 "Kennedy and Heidi", one of Tony's men points her out (although refers to her as 3 to 5, 7 to 9) and when someone asks why they call her that, he says "she never misses a wake." Although in this episode, Marie Donato is not credited.
