* During the height of the UsefulNotes/CompactDisc's popularity among consumers, a minor trend existed wherein artists would occasionally release albums with lenticular or holographic covers to provide a pseudo-3D effect; examples include ''Diamonds and Pearls'' (holographic cover) by Music/{{Prince}} and ''Music/{{Hours|DavidBowieAlbum}}'' (lenticular cover) by Music/DavidBowie.

** Music/TheRollingStones also had a much earlier example with ''Music/TheirSatanicMajestiesRequest'', which featured a lenticular 3D image of the band against a sky backdrop; the image was meant to occupy the whole cover, but was shrunken down to save money. Most re-releases of the album omit the lenticular effect, including most CD reissues (save for a [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] SHM-CD release).

* The [[MagicalLand Blazing World]] as depicted in ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' is in 3D. It's implied to be like this in-universe as well, as residents are also regularly shown wearing what looks like 3D glasses (in Prospero's case also possibly a ShoutOut to Spider Jerusalem).

* ABC did a weeklong 3D promotion that included TGIF shows ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'', ''Series/FamilyMatters'', and even ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' (which was also structured as a ''Series/FullHouse'' reunion show). It did not go well as the writers of each show had to write in the 3-D gags in haphazardly and piecemeal and all of the gags where objects were thrown at the screen were groan-inducing and are now useless when these episodes are rerun.

* ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow''

* ''Comicbook/{{Superman}} Beyond 3D'', a miniseries by Creator/GrantMorrison as part of the ''Comicbook/InfiniteCrisis'' crossover, in which the 3D effects represented the Bleed between universes.

* Episodes of ''Series/TheMysteyFilesOfShelbyWoo'' and ''Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack'' were involved in Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''Noggle-Vision'' event; see Western Animation.

* The ''Dust Bunnies'' episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''. It used the [=ChromaDepth=] method and required special glasses.
* The ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' episode ''Won't Crack or Peel!'' was originally broadcast in 3-D (similar to the above ''Rugrats'' episode, it used Chroma Depth and needed the glasses, known as ''Noggle-Vision'' for the week in 1997, and after that, the episode would be slightly re-done without the 3-D). The episode focused on Henry and June introducing "[=KaBlam=]-o-Vision", which was supposed to have the audience interact with the show (cute little gags like having a StaringContest with the duo ([[NightmareFuel which included June plucking out her eyeballs and sticking them to the screen]])

* ''WebVideo/FarLandsOrBust'' did this for the 100th episode, and true to the trope it was generally regarded as a bad decision afterwards by everyone involved.
* The whole 5th season of The Jace Hall Show, though the focus on the effect was lowered in the latter episodes of the season.

Disney theme parks do a lot of these, including ''Ride/CaptainEO'', ''Honey, I Shrunk the Audience'', ''Ride/MuppetVision3D'' and ''It's Tough to Be a Bug!''. See also UsefulNotes/ThreeDMovie, PaddleballShot.

** Nickelodeon did it again with "Smell-O-Vision" (smelly TV in 3-D).

* The ''Dust Bunnies'' episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''. It used the ChromaDepth method and required special glasses.

* TheBBC SaturdayMorningKidsShow ''Going Live'' had a 3D episode in 1993, the same week as "Dimensions in Time". There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=284oPIWibVA a clip on YouTube]] of Trevor and Simon, with Jonathan Ross, rather desperately trying to fill a minute and a half with {{Paddleball Shot}}s.

* ''Series/{{Chuck}} Versus the Third Dimension.'' (As part of a trailer tie in with the film ''Monsters vs. Aliens'' for the previous night's SuperBowl ad for the latter)

* ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun: Nightmare on Dick Street'' (used only for the {{Dream Sequence}}s), a post-SuperBowl episode.

As seen below, the 3-D episodes only take place around either sweeps weeks or event programming like after the SuperBowl.

* ''{{Series/Svengoolie}} tried this in 1983 doing a massively-hyped 3D showing of ''Film/ReturnOfTheCreature''. The results were apparently disappointing, and the show would remember it as an OldShame.
