• The Muppet Babies episode "Back to the Nursery" features a plot with several parallels to the story from the film, primarily the concept of travelling back to the past to see your caretaker, in their case, Nanny. The most obvious reference is seen in the form of the time vehicle used by the babies which is made from Baby Gonzo's tricycle and a wagon and becomes transformed into the De Lorean from the film by way of their imaginations. The car leaves behind tire marks made of fire and utilizes an hourglass as its flux capacitor.

• The third episode of Farscape is a spoof of the film's title: "Back and Back and Back to the Future."

• In a 1989 episode of Sesame Street, Meryl Sheep says her latest movie is Baa to the Future.
