Howe was featured in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Bart the Lover]]". In it, a photograph of Howe is used by [[Bart Simpson]] to fool his teacher into thinking he is a grown man who has answered her personal ad. At the end of the episode, Howe's career statistics are shown.

In Season 3 of the [[NBC]] television crime drama series ''[[Good Girls (TV series)|Good Girls]]'', in an episode entitled "The Eye in Survivor", the character of Ruby ([[Retta]]) steals an autographed [[Stanley Cup Finals]] game-worn Gordie Howe jersey from a sports bar only to have it appraised and learn that it is counterfeit.
