Quoted from Timerider:Subject of question on the BBC panel show "QI"
When i lived in the UK (Scotland) 2012-2013
i remember watching and enjoying this quiz show fondly,
but at that time Stephen Fry was the host.
It was always educational and informative and funny.
Not really a game show, as no one won money, as the contestants were all british celebs.
More of a comedy show than quiz show.
Leduc, AB
Found another one. "Hidden Potential; Season 1, Episode 13, 'California Cape Cod' ".
In the opening, going through the home one of the rooms has a Captain Fantastic, in the corner. It has the kids art covering part of the backglass, blocking more than half of the artwork. The game is on, it is viewable for less than 30 seconds, clearly a pin proudly owned standing in place, in a good size room.
Not sure if anyone caught American Pickers latest episode (S18|E126 Thirsty Thirsty Pickers), they picked Mickey Gilley and he had a nice Dracula as well as some EMs under some sheets in his shed. Who wants to go pick Gilley and try to buy his machines? 
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Mine had a great laugh at my horror of what happened in Captain Marvel...
The movie sucked and the game isn’t much to talk about either!
Quoted from yancy:Munsters, BK3, Playboy, and others.
Who the hell are they?? Local band?? I’m usually not a critic of local music and the little guy, but that music video is about 20 years late to the era it’s trying to replicate and comes off as cheesy as hell.

I don't know, but I liked them better in the '80's when they were called the The Go-Go's.

Nasty Cherry. I'm sure they're local to somewhere. I love it, but to each his own.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Movie is comedy called Club Paradise from 1986 with Robin Williams. He has Flash Gordon in his office powered down and another one in the bar area powered on not sure.[quoted image][quoted image]
The other one is a Bally Six Million Dollar Man.
Quoted from N101AA:What is this pin? It was in the background of a scene from "The Giant Spider Invasion" (1978) on tonight's Rifftrax. I can't find a higher res photo, but here is a capture from the original MST3K broadcast:
[quoted image]
It looks like Gilligan's Island meets Perry Mason. lol
The game is Bally Dixieland.

In the new SWAT TV show one of the officers has a Police Force in his home. lol.
He just got bummed because he was called to duty during multiball.
Married with Children
Season 7 Episode 11 - "Old College Try"
The Bundy's think the bank made an error in their favor and go on a 25K spending spree. Fireball pin in the background is one of the many expensive purchases they made. Turns out they spent Bud's 25k college tuition grant, lol.

At any rate, I just bought a Pin*Bot, so I am sharing...

It’s ok I started this topic and can’t remember all the ones I even posted. Maybe someone can write a code to figure it out before we type the show or movie,etc.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Paul Newman is playing a game in the beginning of the movie “The Verdict”
It’s actually a 1978 Williams ‘Disco Fever’ that Paul is playing in the bar (while doing shots of whisky at 8 am) but the EM chimes are obviously piped in.
Quoted from o-din:In the new SWAT TV show one of the officers has a Police Force in his home. lol.

It's not a police force. It's either a highspeed or a getaway with custom backglass and cab.

I can't deliver pictures for this but I can tell everyone who is interested that Pinball-machines can be seen in these 2 american movies from 1979-1980.
In XANADU there is a scene where someone plays I think a Gottlieb Single-Player, then 'all of a sudden' the scenery changes to somewhat that is supposed to be a gigantic playfield. Gene Kelly kicks a giant Pop-Bumper and flowers burst out or something else.
In ROADIE there is a scene in a laundry-shop or a 7/11 where a ROYAL FLUSH and/or a FREEDOM can be seen.
It's 30 or more years since I saw these movies so please excuse me.
Wevelgem
Quoted from Bos007:Funhouse on Murder She Wrote[quoted image]
Also a Mike Munves love tester in that picture.
Not sure what brand scale that is though.
The one on the far left is Rolling Stones.
Geez, did they go to Betson and just ask for cheap playfields (at the time?)
The third episode of the Swamp Thing has a pin which I can't immediately identify as well as the '54 United Mfg. Carnival Gun.
A little later, you see an Area 51/Maximum Force marquee on a Area 51: Site 4 arcade cab.

The pin is a 1971 Bally Firecracker, but it looks as if the artwork has been modified on the back glass.

The CAB artwork does confirm it is likely BLY Firecracker
https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=855&picno=24064
the red/green at mid top of the BG might just be a reflection of some neon sign in the bar.
Quoted from pinwiztom:the red/green at mid top of the BG might just be a reflection of some neon sign in the bar.
Alright then who can name that neon sign ?
Quoted from bssbllr:Alright then who can name that neon sign ?
I'd like to name it Reginald.

Yap, I remember this show, it was hilarious. And, most of the times the celebs never used to know the correct answer to the question, and they would dish out the most outrageous of answers to the questions being asked.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Married with Children episode 924 called Shoeless Al. Al in the bowling alley end of show not sure of pin in back with bowling pins on it.[quoted image]
Williams Triple Strike

Doh, beat me to it! Just saw it a few hours ago.

Not quite sure how level it would be up on that tower!

Next person that sees it needs to tell us if it was original or remake..
Quoted from pzy:Seen in the recent John Travolta movie "Fanatic"
I spotted it in the RedLetterMedia review, anyone actually subjected themselves to the movie to see if this odd retheme makes more of an appearance?
Never heard of "Police Shootout"[quoted image]
Yikes. Color scheme leads me to guess that it's a ST or GB changed for copyright.
