Found another. BBC production, Endeavor (2018), Season 5 Episode 5. "Part Five: Quartet". Looks like a Bow and Arrow. It is in the first and second bar scene.

There is an EM in the bar on the new HBO show “Sharp Objects” I coudn’t identify it. It comes into focus for about 3 seconds, I will try to rewatch.

Quoted from TheLaw:

That's BK...BK2000 doesnt look anything like that.

You’re right.

#1155 6 years ago

Although a repost, it is worth watching the actual commercial.

Pinball remains "hip and in fashion" in Portland, Oregon. Presently continues to retain its title of pinball capital of the world with over 800+ machines (including EMs) in a 25 mile radius of the city. Carries over to all sorts of activities.

Quoted from thirdedition:

I'm sure it has been said, but I'm not going to fig through this whole thread.
There is a Stargazer in Ghostbusters.

Through the magic of search, I can attest that it had not until you did so. One guy mentioned he saw a pin but did not identify it.

There is a screenshot of the scene on Pingeek's great "Pinball In The Movies" site. Also check out his "Pinball On TV"
site.

Friday Night Lights, Tim and Billy Riggins have a Stars machine in their living room.

Sniper Reloaded has Sgt. Beckett playing a Jubilee.

#1165 6 years ago

In Keeping up with the Joneses, he has a HyperBall in his basement. Seen in the corner near the end of the movie.

#1166 6 years ago

The new AMC Series, "Lodge 49", has an Aztec dominantly displayed and another pinball game "Out of Order" covered in the tavern room. The mystery cabinet is clearly visible (only backbox is covered with a sheet), but I would have to research which game, as it looks original.

#1167 6 years ago

Eposide called Road Hog in Alfred Hitchcock Presents tv series has a pin called The Thing, it’s in black n white caught it only once show.

#1168 6 years ago

In the dumb movie Everybody wants some, there are a ton of older games in one small clip.

Was watching "Tanked" this morning and they were tasked with turning a Stingray pinball into an aquarium. The client wanted the pinball to be playable after it was turned into a fish tank.

The Tanked guys ended up smashing the backglass at the shop and even Tim from the Pinball HOF made a cameo.

What did they do? Find a repro?

#1171 6 years ago
Quoted from Colsond3:

I think they did it on purpose to create TV drama. Then the replacement (original or repro) arrived "just in time" when they we're installing it at the owner's house.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:

The wife watches "All in the Family" at bed time & saw Archie Bunker playing a Bally's Night Rider at Kelsey's Bar.
She now wants a Night Rider...

I've been binge watching Archie Bunker's Place on Antenna TV. Anyone know what the pinball machine is in the bar? Or should I take a picture and post?

Seems like they rotated them through....here's a list for each episode that a pinball appears.

The more I look at this pin....the more I realize how much it's going to suck to service it when something needs fixing.

I'm referring to the follow-up series "Archie Bunker's Place" where Archie owns his own bar and restaurant. I'm in season 2 right now and the same pinball machine has been on the set.

The only pinball reference I could find for "Archie Bunkers Place" was a 1978 Gottlieb 'Hit The Deck.'

Yes I believe that's it!

While watching Spongebob with the kiddo this morning, Nickoledeon hit a trifecta of THREE pinball references over four straight commercials.

#1 - An ad for Goldfish Pinball Blast on https://www.goldfishfun.com/
#2 - Then there was some ad for a head-to-head pinball toy called Hydro Strike - https://www.amazon.com/Pressman-Strike-Action-Challenge-Friends/dp/B07DMBQNHV/ref=sr_1_1
#3 - The new Rise of TMNT show had one of the turtles as a ball bouncing off a bunch of columns and EM chimes were playing.

All happened within about 1 minute. I was shocked how prevalent it's becoming.

I've been hooked on this show for years and there's a ton of pin spottings. They definitely have a rct in the shop (seen in many episodes)
The pin episode definitely came with 2 backglasses. Gotta create drama right? Just like every car fix up show at some point says "I don't know if we're going to make the deadline"

And home fix up show, and landscaping show, and cooking show, and...........................

I liked the show originally but it seems like the newer episodes constantly involve celebrities. I'd rather see a random company, brewery, bar, casino have tanks made compared to musicians, celebrities, comedians etc.
