Dennis the Menace - Mr. Wilson's basement was shown in an episode, but I'm not sure if they ever showed the Mitchell's basement in the series.

Raymond, several episodes in Ray's and Franks basement. Musters depending on how you define basements.

ISTR Steve's laboratory where he conducted his experiments was in the basement. Down there was his transmogrifier (or whatever) that caused him to become Stefan. In the episode in which we saw it there was a landing, of sorts, that had lights that flashed when it transferred visitors down to the bottom; I don't recall a stairway.

Which they began showing starting with Season 3.

I also remember that moment where there was a snake in the basement.



Other shows I can think of that had a basement are:
Webster
Full House
Bernie Mac Show

No, they never showed a basement, you're probably thinking of the garage, later turned into Joey's bedroom, later turned into Jesse's recording studio.

That was a basement - remember the staircase in the kitchen that went down (behind the kitchen table)??

Yes it is.

You don't think that staircase that's behind the kitchen table (underneath the alternate upstairs) is a staircase to the basement?

they showed the Petries basement in 2 Dick Van Dyke episodes. In the episode HUSTLING THE HUSTLER they had a pool table in it that was never seen or even mentioned again.
And in season threes A HOUSE IS NOT A HOUSE a flashback showed that there was a big rock in it when they bought it. But again that was never seen o-r mentioned again.'

Although we never see it, the basement in the Mayberry Courthouse is mentioned in the "Newton Monroe" episode of TAGS Also the Rimshaw place and some moonshiner's henhouse have basements

Lucy and Ethel erect a freezer in the basement of their building, and then lock themselves in it.

The Bar on Cheers

Hogans Heroes

I think that the return window on "Many Happy Returns" was located in the store's basement...not 100% sure.

The Facts of Life - a couple of basements become part of the plot, though we never actually see them. In Season One, Cindy goes down to the basement and could have been electrocuted during the flood. In Season Three, Nat, Blair, and Jo drink alcohol in the basement.
