"You Oughta Be in Pictures" is sung to Miss Piggy by an adoring Dick Van Dyke in The Muppets Go Hollywood, as they sweep across the dance floor of the Cocoanut Grove. The production number includes a fantasy sequence, with stills from The Miss Piggy Calendar 1980.
A music cue from the song is used during the "Whistling Cecilia" sketch in episode 423 of The Muppet Show.
Jimmy Dean and Rowlf the Dog performed the song earlier in episode 129 of The Jimmy Dean Show.
The tune is briefly played during Miss Piggy's entrance at the 1980 World Puppetry Festival. A music button based on the song is used at the end of the first scene of Sesame Street Episode 2888.
