Mark loves Stella Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Professor of Rock. Atari 2600 spotted at 9:55 with the Journey Escape video game. However, not the 2600 version on the screen for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 On 8/23/2020 at 7:24 PM, WolfAmongWolves said: I think I found one of the examples you are referring to. In Season 1, episode 25 of Shaun the Sheep "Shaun the Farmer" there is a very short scene of the farm dog playing video games. You can't see the screen, but the sound effects are clearly 2600 Donkey Kong. It's at the 5:53 mark. That's the first one I thought of: the dog playing Donkey Kong while Shaun was doing the dog's job and the farmer was in bed sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I've been watching the US version of Ghosts. It's quite good, as is the original UK version (seasons 1-3 are on HBO Max). Adventure, in T-Shirt form, appears in the preview for next week's episode: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAre Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here are the 2600 console and Pac-Man as prizes on a 1982 episode of The Price Is Right. Interesting that the show still went with the six-switch console instead of the four-swtich, since this is from 82. I'd love to see the video for this episode. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 That's really cool JayAre. Does it say "Interactive Leisure" on the Atari sign? I thought those were newer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAre Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Well, I found the picture online, and since the resolution isn't that great, I can't tell what the sign says. Below is the back of one of Atari's early catalogs. And boy, it sure looks like the sign might say "Innovative Leisure", because the words lign up the same way. You have a good eye, CVGA. And if that's what the sign says, then that's pretty interesting, because from what I can tell, the "Innovative Leisure" phrase was used up until 1978, and this Price Is Right episode is from 1982. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The most recent episode of Stargirl (season 3, episode 11) had a set of Atari paddle controllers sitting on a desk. It is the scene where the nerdy brother and his friend are trying to figure out how to stop the ice man that has come back from the dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBoy, thanks so much for taking the time to search for this video; very nice of you. And CVGA, you were absolutely right. As can be seen in the video, the sign says "Innovative Leisure". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Rabby Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Dunno for sure it counts being a web cartoon series but Homestar Runner contains a ton of Atari references. Easiest one to find is the Atari in Strong Bad's room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I bought the Atari featured in the series The Amelia Gething Complex (2019) The props department had covered the Atari logo with a waveform presumably because they hadn't cleared it for the show. It appears in multiple shots and episodes. I was stunned when I found this out because I'd paid very little for it and the seller didn't mention it beforehand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopy25 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Was watching the newest episode of Stargirl (season 3 episode 11) and noticed some paddles on a desk in one scene. They were not mentioned and I didn't see a console in any of the other frames but I may have missed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Gorillaz music video with two Atari joysticks, PONG on one monitor and something that looks like a Speak & Spell, but no 2600 console. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Cw's latest offering son of a critch. https://www.cwtv.com/shows/son-of-a-critch/cucumber-slumber/?play=4d1b1e3e-0f2d-4c00-a137-5700fa2d65a2 This episode shows two kids playing a 2600. Except I don't remember any white controllers bits. Almost looks like maybe a commodore controller. I thought they weren't compatible. The whole thing is 20 minutes and 54 seconds long. Fast forward to 16 minutes. After the third dot. The last commercial. The last leg of the show. Shortly after 16 minutes you will see a big woody crt tv and a 2600.

I think that's a 5200 screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the 2600 version despite having a 5200 logo. And also the 5200 logo from 1982 stays there for ever. The logo on a real 5200 would of booted up in 5 seconds. And it looks like at the end he is inserting something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Gamera, the animated series on Netflix has a 2600 in it. I watched all 6 episodes last night, but had forgotten about this thread. So I didn't get the timestamp or episode number. If no one else posts it first, I'll try to get the info when I have some spare time.
