My wife and daughter watch these HGTV shows like House Hunters and some of the highly repetitive fix-it/flip-it faire.
Walking through the living room I heard "pinball and skeeball".
It was only on for a flash but the husband in his episode had a DESW:

My wife and daughter were watching a recent episode of Nashville and one of the characters was playing a pin for five minutes while talking with another person. I waited for a glimpse of the machine, but when it finally showed it, all I caught was a topper that said "Game Over".....arghhh!
Quoted from Spraynard:Pinbot spotted in the movie "Big"
I was just going to post that.
Quoted from rai:Not sure if this has been posted already 'Twin Peaks'
Only twice before!
Watched a movie this morning on Netflix, "Hair Brained." Two pins, including a Fish Tales with nice dubbed-in bell sounds!
1 week later
Quoted from dmbjunky:Did you catch the list price? Was it in the showdown?
Not at all. It was part of the Showdown and they just said "...And this Pinball Machine..."
That's what I meant by "glossing over it"...it was kind of weird really.
Quoted from TheLaw:Not at all. It was part of the Showdown and they just said "...And this Pinball Machine..."

Honestly, Stern has glossed over Spidey The Pin too.

Seriously? YOU watch, The Price is Right ?!? 
Quoted from TheLaw:Yeah it's a kind of popular show for the last 40 years or so....not to mention Babies seem to like watching it.
Do you watch Wheel of Fortune too?
I was watching "The Waltons" and caught a "Guys and Dolls" & "A,B,C," at the Dew Drop Inn! Sorry no pic!!
Quoted from bob_e:Do you watch Wheel of Fortune too?
No, I stopped watching WOF after they took away making you spend the monies you just won on prizes. Generations of kids growing up that don't even know what "And I'll take the rest on a gift certificate Pat" means is a goddamn shame.
Quoted from TheLaw:I stopped watching WOF after they took away making you spend the monies you just won on prizes.
I stopped watching WOF when Chuck left.
Kind of pinball related, last night I watched Kolchak take on thee Black Knight.
Dancing with the Stars last night (yes I watch it 
) featured a contestant dancing in an "Arcade" with a pin being played. The pin looked like a Revenge from Mars cabinet type, and it appeared to have a populated/lit playfield, but the cabinet/backbox were reskinned to reflect one of the judges, "Len's Revenge".
Contestant was Simone Biles, the Olympic Gymnast, who coincidentally got voted off last night, despite being a great performer.
Enjoy!
Leduc, AB
Quoted from Darcy:Progressive Insurance. Pin in the new Man Cave ad. Starts off looking normal, the man cave room ends up mostly white by the end of the ad.
The first shot before it turns all white looks like a black knight 2k with a custom backglass. Can't tell for sure tho.
Quoted from Rando:Dancing with the Stars had a pin on stage that looked like a Revenge from Mars cabinet repurposed as "Len's Revenge" referencing their head judge.
Still waiting for it to be put up for sale on eBay.
Quoted from barakandl:The first shot before it turns all white looks like a black knight 2k with a custom backglass. Can't tell for sure tho.
Yep, Black Knight 2000. Some kind of decal covering most of the backglass, as it is not a reflective surface.
Quoted from mswhat:This on an episode of CHiPs
Just looked at the picture again. isn't that Bryan Cranston?
A scene on an episode of the Avengers (60s detective show) tonight involved playing a pinball machine as a metaphor for "nudging" a contact. Through the magic of TV the shots of the backglass were a Gottlieb Show Boat but the sound was a Bally in my book, not sure what the cabinet shots were of.
Watched Marathon Man for the 100th time last night and there's a Gottlieb Polo in action during a scene in Paris.
And, yes, it is safe. You'll only get that if you've seen the movie.
In the season finale of Kevin Can Wait, there's a startup company and there's a Punchy the Clown in the office. I had never seen that before so had to search to find out what it was. Turns out there's only 103 units ever made back in 1993, so it's a little odd that it was on the show. Maybe one of the staff's personal collection?
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Midnight Madness. Name them.
Trident, Fireball, World Cup, Mata Hari SS, Eight ball, Dragon and Power Play
... oh, and a Dynamo Air Hockey and Atari 2 player Football.
I had a Trident before....actually liked it. A cool flowing game with a good layout. Some people don't like no outlane on the left just a return lane, but I think that added a lot to gameplay. For an old Stern, the game played fast as hell. My buddy has it now.
