This thread gives me an excuse to recommend strongly the recent release on DVD of the 1994 - 95 television series "My So Called Life" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108872/
Yes, there's a tarot deck belonging to the aging hippie mother of one of the heroine's (Clare Danes) friends shown in one or two of the episodes, the Jungian Tarot of Robert Wang. In the Features section of the DVD set the creator and writer of the series admits the deck is actualy hers and that she still has it.
I've rented and watched many acclaimed and Emmy'd television drama series as they came out on DVD - "The Sopranos," "The Wire," "Six Feet Under," "Carnivale" and more - but I have to say that "My So Called Life" must be the finest television drama I've ever seen. The IMdB Plot Summary hardly does it justice. It lasted only one season - 19 episodes - but it's a complete story in itself, brilliantly imagined and performed, and if you live anywhere near a video rental that carries it (maybe even Netflix has it) you should devote a week out of your life to watching it. A masterpiece.
