One more from The Fugitive - S4E12 ("The Devil's Disciples"). This time a local hippie gang takes over a diner with a Williams 4 Roses (1962). Doc Kimble looks incredibly guilty as usual.

I knew the IDs would be easier with this season in color, but they really handed me this one on a platter. There is even a good playfield closeup with some multiball action.

Not shown, but mentioned in tonight's new episode of American Dad: the smiths are going to Al Tuttles house to see his new game room. Stan declares "He better have pinball". Later when they come back Stan comments that he wasn't impressed, to which Francine responds with "well, he did have pinball".

There seems to be quite a few pinball references on the show now a days.

Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

Stranger Things pinball has an laser war arcade game in it. And logo is the one from the LASER WAR pinball

No...there's definitely an EM in the game, and it even gets shown during the upside down mode. (And it hurts me to see a pinball machine with vines growing all over it.) I'd stop to take a picture of it, but I'm too busy getting my ass handed to me by the game.

That's anachronistic. Stranger Things is set in 1983, 84 and 85 and Laser War was released in 1987. Maybe it was the earliest game Stern had the rights to show?

That's nothing. On Happy Days, they were able to transport a Space Time from another time and space. Fonzie must have been the original Bally table king

I believe Fonzie also had the high score on Nip It for a while.

Boy he's been in this show a lot! I think he might be the number one repeat in the whole series. I could have done without seeing his teeth in color though.

French movie NE NOUS FACHONS PAS, filmed in 1965.
A fun-fair at the french Riviera.
Picture 2 - SHIP-MATES and FASHION SHOW at the right (not visible in the picture)
Picture 3 - BIG CASINO - LIBERTY*BELLE (turned off) - GIGI - OKLAHOMA - and far right another Gottlieb-Single-Player.
In another scene the actors construct a time-bomb-mechanism obviously out of pinball-parts.

Actors - Mireille Darc, Lino Ventura, Michel Constantin, Jean Lefebvre

In Laws of Attraction(Pierce Brosnan snd Julianne Moore) theres a Sega X-Files with a different translite that says "Global Pinball" on it with what looks like 2 pictures of Jupiter, some other planet and some fake stars. The cabinet side art looks either blacked out or covered up but the playfield seems intact.

Quoted from girloveswaffles:

Early in "Blue Collar", Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel, Yaphet Kotto, and Ed Begley Jr. are in a bar, and in the background are three pins. One is a solid state Night Rider. The other two are hard to make out, but the second is a wedge head of some sort.

Seven years after your post, here's a screenshot...Bally Night Rider, Gottlieb Big Hit, and Stern's Rawhide. Better late than never!

Salem's Lot is already in the key posts, so just wanted to post some clearer screencaps (Gottlieb Royal Flush for the closeups; Volley, Jacks Open, and Big Brave in the row). As people posted already, it's nice to see these games when they were practically new!

Couldn't find episode number but it aired on Dec. 20th, 2010 "American Pickers"

Sorry pics are blurry but they are moving constantly so it's the best I could get.
