the inspiration for episode 19 of the 6th season of the CBS show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled I Like to Watch, which aired March 9, 2006. In this episode, a serial rapist poses as a firefighter, setting small blazes to gain entry to apartments, where he drugs women and sexually assaults them, focusing mainly on their feet. At the episode's close, the rapist is captured by real firefighters who notice that the rapists turnout gear is different than their own. An episode of I (Almost) Got Away with It featured the Braunstein case and his time on the run in the weeks following. Braunstein cooperated for the program and his comments provided insight into his thinking at the time of his crimes and the manhunt. In this episode, Peter Braunstein himself is recorded on camera stating, "If you released me tomorrow, the only thing- I'd get a big steak dinner, and then I would continue right where I left off." Braunstein's case also inspired a subplot in the comic book Ex Machina.
