Gottlieb, 1965Quoted from Mathazar:Used Cars (1980, Kurt Russell). Very underrated low budget comedy. Bowling alley bar scene about 50 minutes in, looks like Space Invaders on the left, Gottlieb Count-Down in the middle, and a pin on the right I can't make out yet.[quoted image]
Looks like Paragon.

I believe that's a Bally Paragon
Wow...just got beaten out...

2 brief images of rock drummer Vinnie Appice with a Charlie's Angels (Gottlieb 1979) from the documentary "Dio: Dreamers Never Die."
There is also very quick footage of another machine...

I think you're right....I thought it was that too at first, but thinking Paragon was a wide body I dismissed it because it didn't look wide. But the art seems to match up. Plus...movie was filmed and came out in 1980, Count-Down came out in 1980, and Paragon came out in mid-1979 so they all kind of line up.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Turned the TV on and apparently the pawn stars guys have a spinoff show.
Pawn Stars Do America. Crazy collection of games.

Where was this arcade anyway? I turned the TV on and it was just on history channel

San Francisco. Pawn Stars Do America.S01E03.
Totally turns me off shows like pawn stars, storage wars, etc. when prices are so unrealistic. Probably why I don't watch these shows. The 2 guys on that pawn stars travelling episode were showing Rick a half sized Ms. Pacman. Said they wanted 8k USD. Lol. Probably cost them $400 to build it. I just hooked up my brother in law with a original standup Ms. Pacman with new decals for $1500 cdn and I thought that was high

It's actually a print shop that has arcade games. It's in the Haight Ashbury area of San Francisco, near the east end of Golden Gate Park.
They print Tee Shirts and other garments. They're also a block away from the second Amoebae Records store.

I don’t know if any of you guys watch The Peoples Court from time to time?Judge Marilyn’s husband is usually on at the tail end of program discussing cases with her.
Every now and then one of them will start talking about his pinball hobby and how much he enjoys collecting and playing.You can tell he’s legit
Quoted from TopMoose:Miss Annabelle (Gottlieb, 1959)
Thanks! It's in Ep 2 as well, and has the potential to be in many more as it is located in one gang's hideout!
I was watching a YouTube piece on that great old Nickelodeon show "You Can't Do That On Television", and it featured many clips from the show, including one with a kid playing Stars. Unfortunately I have no idea which season/episode is, this is all I've got.

Meteor (Stern, 1979) and Solar Fire (Williams, 1981)
Quoted from sunnRAT:Meteor (Stern, 1979) and Solar Fire (Williams, 1981)
Is Kiss correct ?
Quoted from sunnRAT:Meteor (Stern, 1979) and Solar Fire (Williams, 1981)
think it is a hankin orbit 1 (being an aussie movie). can't ever remember seeing a solar fire down here back in the day
Quoted from illawarra92:think it is a hankin orbit 1 (being an aussie movie). can't ever remember seeing a solar fire down here back in the day
Nah, that's defiantly a Solar Fire. You can see the red "sun" in the middle of the back glass, and part of the word Solar at the top.
Quoted from northerndude:S2E8 newest Ted Lasso (btw, pretty much the best the show running these days)

Quoted 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 was just watching this episode. I had to check if it was showcased on here.
I met Jason Sudeikas at an arcade playing pinball. He is a cool guy.
Not a movie or TV show, but rather a behind-the-scenes daily vlog on YouTube that tracks the Professional Bowlers Tour during tournament season. This week they're in Springfield, MO for the PBA Springfield Classic.
Here's Kyle Troup ("The Pro with the 'fro") playing a Sega Frankenstein surrounded by Jesper Svensson and Kris Prather.
PBA (resized).jpgNot too sure if this counts but it was on TV 
They used to do a 3 minute slot before the 10 O'clock news here called 3 minute wonder and we were filmed for one called "Garage Wars" which was supposed to show the conflict between husband and wife over garage space, only trouble is my wife doesn't care!!
Surprised no one has mentioned it before 
Gottlieb had a Playball one player machine but the back glass is more psychedelic looking from 1971. Thinking it is a retheme or re-do of something else unless there was an alternative back glass made for this.

Quoted from Classics_Master:I saw this in a new AT&T commercial, (close up in one of the pics), looks like a 60’s Gottlieb two-player, not sure if it’s a re-theme or not?

Bones S4 E24 picture - I was able to get a picture of the machine - can anyone tell from the side art? A pinball or planet with a ring around it. Thanks!
Quoted from bob_e:Bones S4 E24 the side of a pinball machine is seen in the background of a Frat house. I was not able to get a picture.

The pinball machine in the music video called Greatness is a "Huncho" machine. It is a retheme to tie in I would think with Rapper Quavo (Quavious Keyate Marshall “Quavo”,) and his name was Huncho in the Migos (If I got this right ).
Quoted from snowy_owl:Saw this machine in a music video called Greatness. Not sure what the machine is.[quoted image]

That would explain why I couldn't identify it. That's a cool fact, I didn't know he had a custom pinball machine.

It appears to be a re-themed Quick Draw (Gottlieb, 1975) from the playfield layout.
In keeping with having pictures with the examples and explanations, attaching a snapshot of Quick Draw with Huncho for comparison.
