* Nickelodeon's ''Turkey Television'' had a recurring sketch starring [[Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision Adam Reid]] as a kid secretly keeping an alien in his closet. All we ever saw of the alien was an E.T.-like hand that would reach out of the closet, with a glowing light. The skits consisted of Adam having goofy conversations with the alien.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': In "Hooked on a Ceiling", the Warners help [[Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti Michelangelo]] paint the ceiling of the Art/SistineChapel, but the artist doesn't know what to put in the final blank space. The Warners end up painting a version of ''The Creation of Adam'' in which E.T. and Elliot touch fingers, just as the Pope arrives to see it. However, he turns out to be Creator/StevenSpielberg, and he approves of it.

* ''Series/StrangerThings'':
** Several episodes frame the kids' relationship with Eleven in a way that's deliberately similar to Elliot's relationship with E.T. Mike lets her hide in his house from government agents, he shows her his Star Wars action figures, she hides from his mom in the closet, she reveals her powers of telekinesis, she rides on the back of his bicycle at one point, the kids disguise her with a dress and a blonde wig when they take her out in public, and she [[spoiler:uses a radio to communicate with another world]] in one pivotal scene. The first episode even introduces Mike and his friends playing ''Dungeons and Dragons'' -- the same way Elliot and his friends were introduced in ''E.T.''
** [[spoiler:The scenes where the group is escaping on bikes looks like it's about to recreate the flying bikes scene from ''E.T.''... until Eleven flips a van with her mind.]]
** In the second season, Eleven wants to go out trick-or-treating disguised as a ghost, figuring no one will recognize her. This works for ET, but Hopper denies Eleven the opportunity to even try something that risky.
** In the second season, Will mentions that his favorite candy is Reese's Pieces, which factor heavily into ''E.T.'' Dustin's relationship with Dart is also largely built around feeding it candy.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'':
** "Every Doris Has Her Day": Jay needs a date for a musical premiere and (after assorted failures) resorts to holding a call-in contest on his show, wherein any woman who says "the name of Spielberg's adorable extra-terrestrial" wins. It doesn't work, as the only caller is a guy who thought the answer was [[Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind Richard Dreyfuss]].
** "A Song for Margo": one of the movies that Jay reviews is ''D.T.: The Drunken Terrestrial'', where the sloshed alien insists on trying to fly after having a few and falls out of the basket during the moon shot. Unlike a lot of other movies featured on the show, Jay actually liked this one.
* ''WesternAnimation/TalesFromTheCryptkeeper'': the bike chase in "Fare Tonight" ends with Camille peddling, Mildred riding in the basket, and the two jumping a movable bridge in the process of rising. While in midair, we see them and their bike pass right by a full moon. Being such movie fans, they lampshade this "ever cinematic" moment.
