Gottlieb, 1965Quoted from Manhattan:Jason Sudeikis is a pinhead. I even saw or read an interview he did where its revealed that he grinded over Ted Lasso concepts/writing over pinball and beer at his house with the Asst. Coach on the show who is a writer/co-creator as well I believe.
I can vouch for this. I have personally seen him at arcades multiple times.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Dude, where's the spoiler alert - I haven't seen that episode yet.
Yeah, I pretty much gave up the plot, episode info in there, whew, dodged a bullet.
Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx: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.
It was a fantastic. I sold both aztec and fantastic to AMC on 8/1/2017.

Need help with ID (this is the best frame I could find).

Spot-A-Card (Gottlieb, 1960). This same game is also seen in at least one other episode later in the series; not sure which one(s).
Is it just me or do you like/respect a tv series or movie more, because a director decided to use a pinball machine as a prop?
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Is it just me or do you like/respect a tv series or movie more, because a director decided to use a pinball machine as a prop?
I love it, but I love it more when the prop is era correct. That 1960 Spot-a-Card is showing up in MASH which takes place during the Korean War (1950-1953).
Then there's Bally's "Nip It" from 1973 that is frequently seen in the sitcom Happy Days which takes place during the 50's and early 60's.
Quoted from Mathazar:I love it, but I love it more when the prop is era correct. That 1960 Spot-a-Card is showing up in MASH which takes place during the Korean War (1950-1953).
Then there's Bally's "Nip It" from 1973 that is frequently seen in the sitcom Happy Days which takes place during the 50's and early 60's.
Or The Waltons, which is set in the 1930's and 40's but the General Store has a 1972 Flying Carpet.
The best is when the pin is appropriate or ironic for the setting, like the Heat Wave machine at the arctic station in The Thing.

Almost like there should be a sister thread entitled "Pinball in movies or TV shows? Name a game in the background that is not appropriate to the setting"
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Anyone know the game Paul Newman is leaning on in the opening scene of The Hustler?
I do know that game, and although not as valuable, I like
its game play better than United's Midget Alley.
Others I'm sure will its title.

Am I drunk? What? Lol
Quoted from Mopar:Others I'm sure will its title.
Oh, haha. I see what you're saying. I meant to say 'I'm sure others will "know" its title',
but I'll give it out. It's a 1958 Bally "All Star Bowler".
I have a Friend that has that and a Midget Alley (the same era) side by side, and I like the
Bally's play better. Years back, twice I had a chance to pick one up, but after having many
other types of bowlers, I didn't think it would be anything special, but to play, it actually is.

I watched that last night on TMC, but I missed part of the movie. When in the movie is it?

The opening scene after he parks his car for gas and goes into the bar. Literally a minute into it.

Yup. I got in at about five minutes.
Quoted from phillyfan64:Supergirl 2 nights ago. This has been shown several times but I still have no idea what it really is. It says Cosmic Goddess.

Looks like the cab was painted all black.

Like seeing Attack From Mars in the Brad Pitt movie Ad Astra.

The placement of the score reels on the BG do not align with any normal conventional EM pin.

Could be just a box of lights.
Quoted from sunnRAT:Endgame (1983)

Looks like Stargazer and Harlem Globetrotters.
Quoted from sunnRAT:The Violent Professionals (1973)
Various EMs including a close shot of a Chicago Coin Corvette bowler.

I see a Hot Line. Maybe a Hearts & Spades in there too?
Quoted from jibmums:Barely visible Phoenix and Paragon, and Bally Star Trek way behind Corey Haim, in the comic book shop in "The Lost Boys".
[quoted image][quoted image]
Don't laugh; just watched Lost Boys for the first time and spotted the first two right away, missed the Trek though.
They had a Moon Cresta video game there too, never saw it but you could hear it playing!
Quoted from Daditude:I can vouch for this. I have personally seen him at arcades multiple times.
pretty sure Trent at Tilt Amusements sold him a Tron LE he had in years ago.

Fireball Classic and what looks like a Pinbot?
Quoted from gdonovan:Fireball Classic and what looks like a Big Guns cut down.
Just Pinbot I think.
Edit - ah ha. I got it before the edit!
Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:Just Pinbot I think.
Yup, changed my post after reviewing the picture again while you were posting, your quick!

I like how pinside will pop up with a "New posts have been added" thing while you're in a thread. Just happened to be at the bottom of the thread, about to mention what they were when your post came through.
What I actually came here to post about has already been mentioned. Death of Michael K Williams has gotten the wife and I on a David Simon kick, so we've been watching things he did that we hadn't seen before. Currently watching The Plot Against America. Couple posts about this show have made the thread already.
Quoted from Charlemagne1987:HBO's latest mini-series THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA has a scene in episode one where one of the characters is beating up on a 1940 era pinball machine. I couldn't find the clip online. Maybe someone else can.
Quoted from Joe_Blasi:High hand
The plot against america EP 5

Just saw this episode last night.
My wife has long ago accepted that this is me any time there's a pinball in a show or movie we're watching:

I think it might even amuse her slightly in a "That's my little dummy husband weirdo" way.
However, pausing the show to ID a title, opening IPDB on your phone and then smugly pointing out that Hi-Hand came out in 1957 and the episode takes place in 1942 and damn it it sure looks like the guy is miming flipping the ball on a flipperless machine? Well, her amusement only goes so far.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Entourage - S01E08
Looks like they got rid of the Pinbot
[quoted image]
...Well, it was covering the light switches.
Quoted from goodypin18:Anyone ever notice on the HBO series Entourage that the pins in the house are always different on every episode?
You are so right!
Entourage - S02E01 Harley Davidson (Fireball now gone too)
Untitled.jpgAlly Mcbeal S1 E21 or E22 at the end of the show one of the guys was at an arcade.
Riding a motorcycle video game in the background was a Fire Power and I think a Split Second.
I will go back on HULU and try to get pictures tomorrow.
