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.

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.

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..

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Yeah House has used a DS and a PSP. I saw that in Supernatural too, and I think I saw someone playing a DS in some aussie horror film that I forget the name of. I haven't seen many home consoles, but I remember N64 appeared in lots of things.

Edit: Gotta give some props to MaryJane, weeds is a great show.

^ There's one commercial for Brain Age already on Discovery Channel.

Oh and btw, animal crackers and cream cheese tastes really really good. Unlike milk and water. AC and CC go really well with green tea also, cuz then you could dip it in the green tea. MMMMMMMMM.
They showed the DS on weeds again, except that this time it was the kid holding it, but unrealistically he said he needed to go out and buy batteries for it... no one on set noticed that it didn't need batteries? I wonder why...

QuoteHa ha. I got the joke. I wonder if anyone else did.
