On Criminal Minds

 * Season Eight:
 * "The Wheels on the Bus" - Though apparently yet to be directly referenced in the show, D.B. Cooper shares more then a passing resemblance to the episode's unsubs: the Moore brothers - much like Cooper, they were hijackers and mass abductors who were investigated by the FBI. Also, the Moores committed their crimes as part of an attempt to create a real-life version of a videogame, loosely reflecting how Cooper was profiled (by some) as a thrill seeker who committed the hijacking just to prove it could be done.
