Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Carmela tries to persuade Meadow to go into NYC and go to the Ritz. When she does she has her arm hanging at her side with gloves visible. Camera changes and now her arm is in front of her and the gloves are no longer visible. (00:37:50)

46 Long - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the office of Bada Bing, Pauli, Christopher, Tony, Silvio and Pussy are all together and the TV is on. Pussy is reading something and Christopher is lifting weights. In between shots, the weights change from Chris's right arm to his left and back again. It could be argued that he changes arms when the camera is off him, but there is one instance where it definitely happens too quickly for this to be the case.

46 Long - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Tony shows up at Livia's house with a bouquet of flowers, in the exterior shot note the transparency of the screen door's glass, the front door silver-colour knob with its back plate, as well as the deadbolt cylinder. As Tony enters the doorway in the next interior shot, we cannot see out through the screen door's glass, the door knob is gold-colour, and both the knob's back plate and the deadbolt cylinder have vanished.

Down Neck - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show, Tony is making an ice cream sundae for himself and A.J. He gets a Path-mark store brand aerosol can of whipped cream. When the camera cuts to closer look at Tony the can changes to a Redi-whip brand of whipped cream. (00:49:00 - 00:50:00)

Boca - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At dinner, when Meadow gets upset, she leaves the table and heads upstairs, so Carmela leaves the table and follows her daughter. Then, when Livia gets insulted, she tells Junior to take her home, and she too leaves the table. The problem occurs when Tony tells Junior, "You mangia, Uncle Jun', she'll come back," and in the next shot facing Junior, the reflection on the door shows Carmela and Livia are still seated at the table.

Boca - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: In the pilot Artie and Charmaine Bucco had two kids, Art and Melissa. But in this episode they refer to their daughter as Kiara and their son is never mentioned again.

Suggested correction: Nope. You should rewatch. Artie and Charmaine have 3 kids; Chiara is the eldest, and their two younger kids are Art and Melissa. In S1xE13 "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano," Tony, Carmela, Meadow, and AJ wind up at Nuovo Vesuvio during the thunderstorm. Then Charmaine tells Meadow and AJ, "Chiara and her brother and sister are back in the kitchen." In S4xE6 "Everybody Hurts," Charmaine tells Artie, "We'll start working on your empire right after we pay the 10,000 dollars of orthodonture Melissa's gonna need this year."

A Hit is a Hit - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Hesh and Massive Genius are talking on the porch, Hesh is leaning forward and picks up a glass of ice tea. A second later, in the next shot he is sitting back in his chair, and is no longer holding the glass.

A Hit is a Hit - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The scene where Hesh and Massive Genius are sitting down and drinking. Massive Genius has just requested that Hesh pay reparations money. Paulie then steps forwards, aggressively demanding "or what?" Behind him, Chris is standing by the white pillar. However, two shots and 2 seconds later, when the camera cuts back to Tony's holding Paulie back, Chris has completely disappeared from the veranda - he is neither behind Paulie or Silvio.

Isabella - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, when Agent Harris presents his business card in case Tony changes his mind, Harris holds his card at its bottom so it's up over his hand, but in the next shot facing Tony, Harris holds the card at its top so it's below his hand, and it continues this way in the next shot as Carmela takes it from his hand.

I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Tony, Carmela, and the kids end up at Nuovo Vesuvio during the storm. When Artie serves the dinner, AJ picks up a piece of pasta with his fingers, and in the shot facing Tony as he reaches across the table to AJ, he's holding his dinner knife, but in the next shot facing AJ, it's a fork in Tony's outstretched hand, not the knife.

Suggested correction: Tony and others say many things that aren't accurate. While season one gives the firm impression that the house is sold, it's not confirmed on screen. There may have been a deal where the intended buyer couldn't get financing or a closing never took place for other reasons.

Trivia: Whenever the mobsters in the Sopranos pay they almost always take a wad of cash out of their pocket and pull off the top 3-4 bills and hand it over. If Tony is paying for a pizza he pulls off 3-4 bills. If he's bribing someone he pulls off 3-4 bills. No matter what the amount is for that particular situation, it's always covered with the top 3-4 bills of the cash wad.

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.
