- Muppets TV featured "Muppet Experts," a spoof of the series (known in France as Le Experts), and used the CSI theme song. The team consisted of Kermit the Frog (as "Kermit Grisomme," referencing series lead Carl Grissom), Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Denise.
- Sesame Street spoofed the franchise in Episode 4135 as "RSI: Rhyme Scene Investigation." The segment features June Moon and Joe Doe (a caricature of CSI: Miami star David Caruso) as two members of the RSI team who try and help a Fat Blue Anything Muppet find the thing he lost that ends in "at."
