TV characters getting drunk - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

chipsandsoda · 07-31-2005, 08:04 PM

I was just wondering if anyone could name some episodes of a TV show where a charachter on the show got intoxicated. I always thought episodes like this were rather funny because it showed that not everyone in sitcom land was PERFECT as some sitcoms over the years have expressed. But here are some charachters I remember being drunk on a TV show.

Steve Urkel (Family Matters)

Eddie Winslow (Family Matters)

Kimmy Gibler (Full House)

Kevin Arnold (The Wonder Years)

The kid from Smart guy, I forgot his name.

Richie (Happy Days)

Flip (Happy Days)

Horshack (Welcome Back Kotter)

What are some other ones???

almost all of the cast of "MASH". I liked seeing Radar, Hot Lips, Col. Blake & Col. potter drunk. They were funny!

Darrin #1 on Bewitched probably holds the record for getting drunk....unless you count the perpetual drunks like Otis or Barney Gumbel ( Before he went on the wagon )

Does anyone remember the episode of Family Matters where Eddie got drunk?

Micheal from Good Times. He drank some of that "Brite-to" health tonic. 18% alcohol! lol!

Paul_Lynde_fan · 08-02-2005, 02:05 PM

...got got drunk in "The New Temperatures Rising" and "The Paul Lynde Show". (But given his reputation, maybe he wasn't acting...?) And then there was another perpetual drunk in Dick Wilson (aka Mr. Whipple) who always seemed to portray "the drunk" in Bewitched and The Paul Lynde Show. There's a clip of a drunk Paul & Dick on this page, about halfway down, on the right.

Archie Bunker from All In the family! The episode he was trapped in the basement & he drank a whole bottle of liquor while he was down there!! That was funny! He thought he was dying so he got some kind of recorder leaving messages to all of his family members. Then when someone came to get him & they were knocking on the door. It was a black guy. Archie was like, here I am lord, come take me, then when he found out the guy was black... He got down on his knees & was like, "The Jeffersons was right!" Haha!

Will from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air got drunk also when he was trying to get Jackie from that Football player.

Dan from Roseanne got drunk on the episode where he barged in his fathers house & was terrorizing his dad's new family.

Archie got drunk another time on "All in the Family"-this time, it was him & Mike. It was the episode where the 2 of them got locked in the storerom at Archies bar. It was cold, so they opened a bottle and were passing it back and forth. (of course, if that was now, 1 of them-probably Mike-could just take out their cell phone and call someone!)

Lucy Ricardo got drunk once in an episode of "I Love Lucy" that some people consider a classic episode (although I can never see why)

On the Vicar of Dibley, the vicar Geraldine got drunk, and said mass on Christmas Eve while she was drunk

Rebecca was drunk on the Cheers episode "Rebecca Gaines, Rebecca Loses"
when she thought Mr. Gaines was inviting her to his home as her date when he in fact invited her to work in the kitchen.

Edith Bunker got drunk on an episode of "All in the Family" I can't remember the name of that episode, but I think the family had taken her out for her birthday and Edith was sucking instead of sipping the wine.
