- In Episode 1374 of Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch opens a museum of art which he has vandalized to appeal to Grouches. One such work is Cézanne's The Basket of Apples, which Oscar has retouched to add rotted fruit in the scene. The same painting would later be seen in his study in Episode 1452.
- In the Sesame Street special Don't Eat the Pictures, Cookie Monster and Bob come across Cézanne's late-18th Century work, Still Life with Apples and Pears. Bob informs Cookie that "it's a Cézanne." "Cé wha?" replies Cookie. He then tries to eat it, before Bob points out the museum's policy sign nearby - "Please Don't Eat The Pictures." The piece was also seen on the special's home video covers.
- Cézanne's Still Life with Cherries and Peaches serves as the backdrop for Baby Fozzie's art piece consisting of tomatoes smashed against a surface in the Muppet Babies episode "The Muppet Museum of Art".
- Later in the episode, Baby Animal reaches for some oranges in Still Life with Milk Jug and Fruit during the "Art Is in Your Heart" montage.
