I noticed another episode where two characters were handcuffed to each other and that was Hangin with Mr. Cooper. So all together for me that makes

Sanford and Son-Esther and Fred

Three's Comapny-Jack and Chrissy

Hangin with Mr. Cooper-Mark and Nicole


Any other TV sitcom have a situation like this??

Not really a sitcom, but Lizzie McGuire: Matt & Lizzie

Mary Richards was handcuffed to her obsessive date (by the date himself) on an episode entitled "Romeo & Mary", from the third season of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

It's been done to death. Don't forget Kramden & Norton in the Honeymooners.

Even in Benson they had a scene like this, but I think it was Benson getting handcuffed to a railing inside a building about to be demolished. I think the building contractor might have been in on that too. I'll have to watch the episode again.

Full House--In one of the earlier seasons, Stephanie and DJ were handcuffed together by Kimmy who couldn't find the key. I can't believe I forgot about that one! :lol:

Even the Brits do it. I have an episode of a Britcom named 'Shelley' where the main character (played by Hywel Bennett) is handcuffed to the cashier in a small "7-11" type store during a robbery. (A pretty mediocre show BTW, I guess you have to be an umemployed young British male to appreciate it)
