Alrighty then.

I was just watching Weeds, on showtime one of my favorite shows about surbanites who smoke and sell marijuana. And the main character was playing a DS! (she's gotta be like 40 something) they didn't show what game she was playing but I was like woah wtf! Is nintendo sponsoring this risque show?

Anyway the other point of this topic is DS sightings on T.V. This is the only one I've seen.

House has a DS and a GBA SP.

One time it shows him playing one of the Metroid games for the GBA, I don't think you see a view of the screen when he's playing his DS though.

My friend told me that a GameCube appeared on Smallville once..

I've seen the DS on YTV (Canadian kid's channel) one or two times; not sure which show it was.

On our local transit, they have cartoon posters that tell you to be courteous on the buses and trains. One of them talks about noise pollution, with a boy playing a DS with the volume up..

Hmm, can't think of any other at the moment..

Gamecube is mentioned during Garden State.
I'm not sure, but I think I saw a glimpse of someone playing a DS in Arrested Development once. It may not have been (it was Maybe, and only briefly), but I don't know what else it would've been.

Seriously? Wait, maybe I know what you're talking about.. Was it in the episode where Tobias took a picture of his (you know what) with GOBs cellphone in the bathtub? Because I remember it looked similar to the DS, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

He had The Final Countdown as his ringtone too

I bet the folks at HAL were high on PCP when they came up with Kirby Canvas Curse. A witch with a magic paintbrush?!

I bet the folks at every Nintendo company were high on every drug imaginable when they came up with every Nintendo game ever.

I think it's hilarious that "Mary Jane" would create a topic about "Weeds."

Yeah house plays his ds alot on the show, normally playing it when someone walks in his office

There was an episode in two and a half men that was basically about the lost game boy of the kid, it was actually a DS when they showed it at the end of the episode, but they kept calling it gameboy.

I was watching the Apprentice, and the team that won got a reward of helping out this 8yr old girl with terminal cancer fulfill her wish of getting a shopping spree in Toys R Us, through the make a wish foundation. Although they didn't show her buying a DS (perhaps she already had one) they should her pick out Nintendogs.

On a side note, it was kind of sad, but at the same time it was cool, that she could have that happened, and also i was impressed by the fact that she was also buying things for other people as well.

Anyway, one more victory for Nintendo!

Am I the only one who thinks it would have been really funny if the girl got home and tried to put Nintendogs in her Game Boy? Then she died of cancer? I'm going to Hell.

It's not just you.

I've seen DS' in SNL sketches and I saw one in the 'meh' movie Just Friends. Van Wilder's little bro is playing one on the couch towards the end of the movie.

I saw a group of kids playing hunters at the start of a supernatural episode. The ds got a bit of a plug on NCIS as well. McGee said it was an "excellant system".

I've seen a gamecube on gilmore girls and my wife and kids. But when i saw a later episode i noticed he had "upgraded" to a ps2.

By the way, I've seen House use a psp as well.

well I dont knwo about TV really I dont watch I alot, but I ben delivering pizzas for Pizza Hut for a few months latley and I see a lot of people in houses playing DS right aloing side thier Ps2s, have nly seen a couple GCs and it seams that the only places I find Xboxes right now is the college dorms. Have yet to see a 360 on delivery. So thats my observations around here. OF course I did notice that most of the people who had GCs had small children and the xbox were all at teh college so clearly Nintendo is for kids and Xbox is for us adults.

Oh my. What about us 30 year-olds that own a GameCube, DS and an XBox? I think that makes a PS2 fanboy somewhere, cry.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to sell the PS2s to get more money for drugs. Even I would buy one from a crackhead for $10.

...And we are back to the drugs and videogames. The tangent has once again merged with the main theme!

On a sidenote, I remember they used OS/2 on the computers in the movie Goldeneye and I was all like "yeah!"

Drugs and videogames go together like animal crackers and cream cheese.

They go together like Milk and Water.
