Hi
I have been spotting some Tikis on TV recently, so I thought I would share, although I'm pretty sure most of you know these already:

  1. Boogie Nights - Burt Reynolds' character has a poolside bar with plastic Moai lights hangins from the roof.
  2. Beverly Hills 90210 (I watched it only after my wife told me it had TIkis) - They do a fashion shoot on the beach and the props are a few big styrofoam Tikis that keep blowing in the wind.
    3.Video Clip - Smash Mouth - Walking on the Sun - has some very nice big Tikis that look suspiciously like Oceanic Arts "for rent" items...It's not hard to spot Leroy's excellent work. Nice Hot Rods in the clip, also.
  3. Some arabic dubbed vacation destination show (probably an american show from the late 80's or early 90's) - featuring Hawaii. Some big Tikis no mention of them in the voice over, though.

That's off the top of my head..
