In the TV series ''[[Curious George]]'', season 7 episode 1b, George and his friends Allie and Bill hunt for the Perseids, which they believe are creatures that look like purses. At the end of the episode, Allie's grandfather Mr. Renkins says that the Perseids is a meteor shower happening in early August.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Curious George: Bright Lights Little Monkey|url=https://www.ket.org/program/curious-george/monkey-down-under-bright-lights-little-monkey/}}</ref> [[John Denver]]'s song "[[Rocky Mountain High]]" references the showers with the lyric, "I've seen it raining fire in the sky."
