* ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' episode "Penny Henny" centers on Jon telling Drusilla and Minerva the tale of Penny Henny (a variant of ''Literature/ChickenLittle''). At the girls' request, Garfield is added to the story, and he ends up saving Penny Henny and her friends from the fox. The episode was adapted from a ''Garfield'' book that served as this trope to the franchise as a whole.

* An episode of ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' had the sisters finding out that at one point in time all fairy tales were actually true, and they have to battle against an evil witch who finds out by asking her magic mirror that she isn't the most powerful witch in the world because the Charmed Ones are. To fix this, she puts the sisters into different fairy tale roles in order to kill them -- Phoebe becomes Cinderella, Paige is Snow White, and Piper is Little Red Riding Hood.

* The ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "Bedtime Stories" has fairy-tales inspired murders (a nice old woman eats people who got lost in the wood, for example). It turns out to be the work of a comatose girl's projected spirit, who influences people to act like the fairy tales she heard her father narrating.

* ''WesternAnimation/OscarsOrchestra'' episode "Sleeping Beauty" is one of these in-universe -Rebecca has a nightmare and to help her get back to sleep Oscar & co tell her a version of Sleeping Beauty with characters from the show placed in to roles in the story (for instance, Sylvia is the good fairy who weakens the curse and introduces an [[CurseEscapeClause escape clause]]). Certain aspects and story divergences ([[ButHeSoundsHandsome Monty's narration antics]], and the fact that the curse has to be broken not by kissing the ''princess'' but by kissing the ''evil witch who cast it'') also kinda push it into FracturedFairyTale territory.

* WesternAnimation/YogiBear and Boo Boo come across the Three Little Pigs, who pawn off their homes to them, knowing full well the Big Bad Wolf will come and blow the houses down. Instead of holing up in the third pig's brick house, the pigs move into Yogi and Boo Boo's cave (saving on all the bureaucracy of building a new structure), leaving the two bears no recourse but to room with them. Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty also had the Yogi Bear treatment.
