Visible crew/equipment: When AJ tries on his new military school uniform, he's pressured to also put on the hat.

Another Toothpick - S3-E5

He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: At Nuovo Vesuvio, Artie pours some Candolini for himself and Tony, then sets the bottle down with the back label (it has the barcode) facing out in the wide shot.
