Show generally

Corrected entry: The whole Mafia side of the family that Tony frequents say how they smoke only the finest Cuban Cigars, quite frequently Monte Cristo's. Cuban cigars don't produce white ash like it does on the show. Cuban cigars' ash is a dark brown color.

Correction: Factually incorrect. I have smoked Cuban cigars with white ash including Monte Cristo.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Despite the fact that the Soprano family is supposed to be well-known in New Jersey (so much so that, when Janice gets into the fight at Sophia's soccer game, the newscasters mention that she is the "reputed mob boss's sister"), nobody around them seems to be aware of who they are. Katherine Romano doesn't know Uncle Junior is under House Arrest (this kind of stuff makes the news all the time). And, given that Dr. Kupfurburg lives in New Jersey, is Dr. Melfi's shrink, and constantly talks about how concerned he is about her treating Tony, how is it possible that he didn't know who Tony was when he ran into him in the parking garage?

Correction: Just becaue people hear names/events on the news and see some pictures does not mean that they will definitely recognize someone they have seen just a few times on the news. I am from Long Island and I can say I would never be able to spot John Gotti or his sons even though there was a reality TV program about them.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Ep. 83, "Kennedy and Heidi": After Christopher dies and they're talking about the cause of death, Meadow says that an airbag deployed without a seatbelt on can cause thorasic damage, but the airbags were not deployed after the accident when Tony reached in to kill him.

Correction: Meadow could have easily heard misinformation saying the bag exploded, when in reality it did not. Afterall, everyone received misinformation as to how Christopher actually died.

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.

Christopher - S4-E3

Question: Was it Jimmy Altieri standing in the back of the crowd during the Columbus rally scene? He was killed in season one for being an FBI informant and here they probably used him as a stand in... If so, then that is some sort of mistake, because I think, it really is him. (00:15:50)

Answer: That's not Jimmy, just a look-a-like. Jimmy's short and stout, the guy in "Christopher" episode is tall and medium built. The hair is also different.
