Perfect game on popular media[edit]

In an episode of "Touched By An Angel", a man appeared to be on the verge of bowling a perfect game, but his ex-wife, owner/manager, exposed it as a gag by blowing down the pins before he threw the final ball.

In an episode of "All in the Family", Archie came home in a good mood for winning a bet: that a person bowled "301", but it was a play on words - the player scored 300... and won. Mike Stivic's misunderstanding of the gag ruined Archie's good mood.

In one Sunday colour "Archie" comic, Jughead said he challenged Reggie Mantle, a great bowler, to a game with Archie, a poorer bowler, but Jughead had the lane rigged. Archie would throw one ball, and Jughead would hit the foot switch under the scoring table to blow down the remaining pins. Archie was nearing a victory, when Jughead made an untimely exit to get snacks. Betty took over to keep score, and her foot triggered the jet before he rolled his ball.

Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder is the sixth episode of the eleventh season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 14, 1999. In the episode, Homer becomes a local celebrity after bowling a perfect game, but his fame quickly fades as "yesterday's news". After a botched suicide attempt, Homer decides to spend time with Maggie after seeing Ron Howard spend time with his children. Howard guest starred as himself in the episode, which also features guest appearances by Penn & Teller, Pat O'Brien, and Nancy O'Dell.

Most consecutive strikes?[edit]

who holds the official record for the most consercutive strikes?--210.80.143.144 (talk) 19:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the most consecutive strikes at a PBA event on TV is 18 by Ryan Shafer in 2007. But overall, I don't know. There might be some research needed for that one. PizzaofDoom Talk Edits 03:30, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

800 Series More Difficult Than 300 Game[edit]

This fact has been rightly tagged for a reference. I'll see if I can find actual stats, but I have heard or read somewhere that the number of USBC-sanctioned 300 games outnumber sanctioned 800 series by almost 3-to-1.Howenstein115 (talk) 18:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
