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)

Rob Butler

Irregular Around the Margins - S5-E5

Audio problem: From a front angle, Tony tells Adriana about how good his doctor is. Cut to a side angle and Tony's voice is out of sync with the image. Then back to the previous front angle and the audio syncs perfectly.

Sacha

Cold Cuts - S5-E10

Audio problem: When Tony confronts Carmela in the backyard about the pool having been drained, when the shot changes to a camera angle inside the empty pool and Tony says "I thought we were getting along better lately", his lips don't match his lines. (00:15:49)

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.

Cold Cuts - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: At Uncle Pat's farm, when Tony sits down to breakfast and the conversation turns to terrorism, when Pat says, "Not my problem much longer," we see the newspaper in Tony B's hands in the wide shot, but it cuts to a close-up and the newspaper is turned the opposite way, with no images and different body text.

Super Grover

Tony Soprano: Oh, poor baby. What do you want, a Whitman's Sampler?

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.
