It seems like the casts of most sit-coms eventually at some point leave their normal setting and go on a road trip or vacation. From the I Love Lucy gang in California for almost a whole season, to The Office entire cast traveling to Niagra Falls for a 2-part episode wedding, what all other shows had their sit-com families on vacation?

Bewitched - Salem, Massachusetts

The Brady Bunch - The Grand Canyon

The Brady Bunch - Hawaii

The Brady Bunch - Kings Island, Cincinnatti, Ohio

Sanford and Son
The Nanny
The Andy Griffith Show

The Andy Griffith Show - Hollywood, CA (Aunt Bee won a trip)

The Jeffersons - Hawaii

All in the Family - California (Archie & Edith visit Mike & Gloria)

Mama's Family - Hawaii ( Mama won a trip)

'I Love Lucy': Hollywood, Europe, Florida, Cuba

'My Three Sons': Japan

'Family Affair': Spain, Tahiti

'The Donna Reed Show':Hollywood

'The Beverly Hillbillies': England, Silver Dollar City, New York City

Also on I Love Lucy (The LDCH):

The Cruise to Havana (Although a flashback); Las Vegas; Sun Valley, Idaho; Mexico; Alaska; a remote get-a-way in Vermont; and Japan

The cast of Sex and the City has been to Los Angeles, and the cast of Head of the Class went to the former Soviet Union.

Everybody Loves Raymond's cast also went to Italy.

The Facts of Life cast went to London(didn't they?).

The Family Ties cast has had at least two vacations that were turned into made-for-TV movies.

The cast of iCarly has been to Los Angeles three times, and once to some shack in Idaho.

I know I'm forgetting others, partially because I thought of one as I was writing this and forgot what it was.

UPDATE: I just remembered some;
The two part The Suite Life Goes Hollywood.

On a related note, Raven Baxter went to the Boston Tipton, and in another episode, she and the rest of the cast of That's So Raven went to Hollywood as well.

That Girl's Ann Marie has certainly had her share of working vacations that take her out to California, and at one point Philadelphia.

Some of the cast of Good Luck Charlie has been to Palm Springs and Chicago, the latter where they ended up on "Shake It Up, Chicago!"

On a related note, CeCe Jones and Rocky Blue from Shake It Up tried to go to California, but only got as far as Texas.

And I just forgot another one. But on the bright side, I have the same number of posts as the year I was born.

The Facts of Life cast went to Paris at the beginning of Season 4 (it was shown as a movie) and to Australia in I think Season 9 (also shown as a movie).

Roseanne, Step by Step, Family Matters and Full House each did episodes where the casts went to Disneyland/Disney World. So did Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, I believe. I do not think that Boy Meets World did, but I may be wrong.

Modern Family did one in Hawaii and another on a dude ranch.

I know Home Improvement did one on Lake Michigan or something...

Designing Women had several vacation themed episodes; one when the ladies went to a spa and got into a mud fight. Another was about a ski trip where the men and women got into a fight. Another was in the beach and revolved around a hired Nanny named Ursula igniting a battle of the sexes. They also had a memorable episode involving a wilderness experience. They also had an episode set in New Orleans and one where they went to Memphis and got stranded in a truck stop.

The Golden Girls had one where they went to some exotic beach place and got stuck in a terrible hotel.

I'm pretty sure that Growing Pains had a few episodes like this too... I recall one on a Cruise ship.

Family Ties had the awful episode in London, England.

The Nanny had an episode on a cruise ship and one in Atlantic City.


Roseanne had an Atlantic City episode too, I think (or maybe it was Vegas).

Friends had the famous episodes in London, as well as the episodes at the beach house where Rachel wrote the letter to Ross; and Phoebe found her mother played by Terri Garr. Also the episodes in Vegas where Ross and Rachel got married.

Full House had an episode in either Vegas or Atlantic City in which Jesse and Rebecca think about getting married and Joey performs a stand up act and his dad comes.

Didn't they also go to Hawaii on Full House?

My Three Sons: Hawaii and Washington DC

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy, Helen, Howard, and Millie take a train to West Virginia, but almost all of the episode takes place on the train.

Didn't they also go to Hawaii on Full House?

yes. I forgot about that one.

Saved By the Bell also had a Hawaii episode; and a Vegas episode (well, actually a made for tv movie, Saved By The Bell: Vegas Wedding).

Lucy went on more vacations after I Love Lucy:

The Lucy Show - Lucy & Viv took Jerry, Sherman and the Cub Scouts to Washington D.C. to meet then President Kennedy.

The Lucy Show - One episode featured Lucy & Viv in Las Vegas.

The Lucy Show - Mr. Mooney took Lucy and Jerry to Marineland, when they first moved to California.

Here's Lucy - Harry escorts Lucy & Viv to Tijuana, Mexico

Here's Lucy - Lucy, Harry, Kim and Craig take a cruise to Hawaii, where they meet up with Viv.

Here's Lucy - Lucy, Harry, Kim and Craig vacation in Colorado and Arizona, including visiting the US Airforce Air Academy.
