Always liked this when I was a little kid:



Saw part of a 'Family Guy' episode where they did an homage to this with Stewie inside a clear pinball. Made me hunt for the original.

Anyone recall other kid shows from that time (1970's) that integrated Pinball/Arcade games in an educational sense?
 
I remember watching that! I wasnt around when it came out, but I remember that rerun vividly! I loved it.
 
Ahh, I remember that! My kids have watched it 3 times and are asking to see it again and again. Still priceless.
 
ahhh, good memories of sesame street.... not that crap they have now which is prettymuch the elmo show. i honestly didn't think they was anything i hated more than barney......WRONG!!!. elmo has that top honor now.
 
FAT ALBERT: There was an episode where some kid was always cutting school to go to the arcade. The episode focused on this addiction.


MR. T (cartoon): One episode had a kidnapped child locked inside an arcade machine.


I'm sure there's a hundred more. Those two I remember the most because they painted arcade games in a bad light, which I always resented.

Here is a 'minisode' of it - "Video Mania"


"You got video games on the brain..."

Those segments were some of my favorites back in the day!
I liked this one too:



This came up in my search results, I wish I could have seen that when I was at the museum last year!

I remember the "Rolling ball 1-2-3" clip. It always bugged me that the ball appears to get ground up at the end. :)
