*Episode 409 of The Muppet Show features the opera "Pigaletto," which uses music from La Traviata. Earlier in the episode, an otter complains to Kermit the Frog that they should instead be performing the opera "La Traviotter."
*An advertisement for Beverly Spills in "La Trashiata" appears in the background during the song "Grouches in the South of France." 
*Episode 2875 of Sesame Street centers around an opera called "La Grouchiata." The production not only lampoons the name of Traviata, but also uses some musical snatches from the show as well, including "Libiamo ne' lieti calici."
