In season 3 Mel sells his pearl white '63 to the waitresses. Many good bug scenes. It doesn't run very well and you hear it actually running. Great episode. It was called "Car Wars."

It's on Antenna TV now. It looks to be a 1966. Except for the sun roof it's my car 😀

Notchback seen in the movie Hidden Figures.

Finally watched this last night... I wonder if someone on the show'd production staff is a Samba member or certainly a VW nut... if they just wanted to show a VW for cuteness or retro appeal, they would have chosen a Bug or Bus. But they chose a notch... not sold here, and the scene in the movie is before the square and fasty were available, so they thought to use a notch, and furthermore to put Euro plates on it... a lot of thought for just a moment!

Also, one other VW sighting, in the parking lot at the NASA facility... the only one in a lot full of American cars!

TV show Engineering Catastrophes on the Science Channel is about a guy who has his office in his bus as he goes around the world explaining how, why and what happened in different disasters. In one episode he used a split window bus in a cartoon style diagram to explain how road noise travels and is increases next to buildings.

Not that I watch this show, but a couple weeks ago I was flipping through channels and came upon the pre-credits sequence of the ABC show Deception, showed an internet conspiracy theorist get blown up in his Super... or maybe he just had a fuel filter in the engine bay Razz

Watching the YouTube Red TV show Cobra Kai: Flashback to 1979 shows a nice VW vert on the side of the road:

BTW, if you haven't seen this show, it is a great extension of the Karate Kid story. I had my doubts, but it is WAAAAAYYY better than it has any right to be.

I am really happy to hear this. I watched the preview and couldn't tell if it was the greatest idea ever or a complete turd. I'm excited to check it out now.

They said this part of the show took place in a small town called Keeler, California so maybe this one is still out there?

That is Hailee Steinfeld, the lead actress in the movie Bumblebee which will debut on December 21. The movie is a prequel to the 2007 Transformers movie. The Bumblebee robot takes the form of a '67 Beetle seen in the photo with Hailee.

There's a trailer from the movie at this link: https://auto.ndtv.com/news/bumblebee-turns-into-a-...ie-1863384

My 1972 Super in the Netflix series, "Flaked". It stars Will Arnett from Arrested Development and it's all about the Venice Beach life. I live in Venice so they're always blocking off the road & putting up "no-parking" signs in front of my house to film various movies and TV shows. Filming for this show had wrapped for the day & the cameras were put away so the crew let me move my beetle back in front of my house. When I went inside, they unpacked the cameras to re-film the shot with my car because low and behold, there she is.

Likely been posted before, but I just started watching "The Man in the High Castle" on Prime, and it takes place in 1962 with Germans controlling 2/3 of the US and fair amount of beetles shown.
