In frame #1 I see what looks like an Atari 810 disk drive on the top shelf. 

In this frame there is an Atari 800.

I was able to contact Scott Stilphen today regarding the console in the Three's Company episode.  His site, Atari Compendium, had originally posted the pic from this episode and had mentioned that the console was a Vader.  He had a chance to take a look at the video of the episode, and he believes the console is actually a 4-switch woody.  He had originally found a low-resolution pic of the scene, and the console looked like a Vader.  While looking at the video, he thought that the front edge of the console looks slightly lighter than the rest of the case.  Now that I look at it closely, I definitely agree with him.  But the main thing is that it would still be at least another year before the Vader's release, so it definitely seems like it's a woody.

 

Scott also pointed out something interesting about the scene.  At the 1:35 mark, what appears to be a 2600 cart mysteriously appears on the table.  It wasn't there at the beginning of the scene, then it appears, and then it disappears later on.  Looks like it might be a text-label cart, but I don't think it's possible to make out what game it is.

I find this to be very interesting.  Am I a geek, or what?

From the 1983 movie Videodrome, here we can spot a pair of 2600 joysticks, a box & cart for Air-Sea Battle, and a Combat box.  There's another cart in the last picture, but it's out of focus; I assume it's Combat.  That's James Woods, by the way.
