The Sopranos

Whitecaps - S4-E13

Character mistake: During an argument between Tony and Carmela, they mention her ring, given to her in earlier episode. They refer to it as an emerald. It is a sapphire.

Everybody Hurts - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tony speaks to Artie at his home, Artie is seen putting a cigarette in his mouth. However, in the next shot the cigarette has disappeared and Artie is drinking from his cup instead. (00:18:35)

Pine Barrens - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Christopher is trying to start a fire with sticks and has a cigarette in his mouth. He starts to go back into the van with the cigarette in his mouth but in the next shot the cigarette is gone and he is rubbing his hands together.

University - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Tracey is cuddling Ralphie at home and places her hand on his belly. The left and right angles of her movement do not match: When she brings her hand towards herself, the following angle shows it on the opposite side.

Sacha

Where's Johnny? - S5-E3

Other mistake: In the scene where Paulie Gualtieri goes to confront "Feech" La Manna at the bakery concerning the landscaping feud, the clock on the wall doesn't match the time on La Manna's watch or the clock on the wall behind La Manna's desk. The big clock says 11:55 while the other two say either 2:45 or 9:10.

Boca - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: During the dinner scene, in some of the shots facing Junior, the reflection of the boom operator (wearing a watch) holding up the boom pole/mic is visible on the glass, toward the top left side of the screen. Additionally, in two shots facing Junior (POV beside Carmela's right shoulder), we can see part of a black reflector screen (collapsible type) between Junior and Carmela.

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.

Toodle-F***ing-Oo - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Janice goes to Livia's mailbox and retrieves the envelope with her disability check, the words "TOTAL DISABILITY" only appear on the check in the close-up, but not in the previous shot. Additionally, the silver screen door is gone between the first wide shot when Janice pulls the mail out of the mailbox, and the next close-up as Janice looks through the mail in her hands (she did not open the screen door between shots).

D-Girl - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: While Sal and AJ are at the batting cage, Matt starts telling AJ about the German philosopher Nietzsche. As the camera moves backwards in this dolly shot, we can see two metal T-marks on the ground, as well as the dolly track at the left side of the screen.

Super Grover

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know where I was yesterday when you called?.. I was outside a whorehouse, while a guy that works for me was inside beating the shit out of a guy that owes me money. Broke his arm. Put a bullet in his kneecap.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: How'd that make you feel?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Wished it was me in there.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: Giving the beating or taking it?

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.
