Do you remember an episode of your favorite show when one of the characters became trapped?

catlover79 · 04-11-2007, 11:35 PM

On Bewitched, Sam and Darrin were trapped in the garage during an argument. She refused to use her magic to open the garage door ("Open the Door, Witchcraft" from Season 1).

Larry and Balki were trapped several times on Perfect Strangers.

Don't forget the episodes of Benson and Saved by the Bell, where expectant mothers gave birth while trapped in elevators.

on TAXI once, Alex, Bobby, Tony and I think Latka were trapped in a cabin during the winter with no food and no heat.

On I LOVE LUCY once, Lucy got locked in a giant meat freezer and almost froze to death. (which is one of her "predicaments" that I don't consider funny)

that's probably my favorite episode of Bewitched!

Um... traped probably happened more than once on I Love Lucy for sure

Gilligan's Island- well, they get traped on an island...

But like Ginger and Gilligan fall into a deep pit and can't get out, then the Skipper falls into the same pit while trying to rescue them. Gilligan and Skipper fall into another hole in the ground... some other moments there were as well...

Dukes of Hazzard- Boss and Uncle Jesse get traped in a bank vault thing ma bob and almost run out of air...

I guess this will qualify. Laura Petrie got her toe stuck in the bathtub faucet.

Archie Bunker got trapped in his basement.

Also on Gilligans Island some of them get trapped in a cave with a giant spider.

On The Brady Bunch, Greg & Bobby were trapped in Sam's meat locker. Also, the family was trapped in a jail cell by the Jim Backus character while they were vacationing in another episode.

On The Andy Griffith Show, Andy & Helen were trapped briefly in a cave, but found their way out -- only to return so that Barney's rescue could have the desired outcome.

On The Lucy Show, Lucy and Viv were trapped at least twice: Once in the shower as it filled with water, and once glued to the basement walls (with a coal delivery as well!).

On Green Acres, Oliver was once trapped under the porch.

On Frasier, Niles and Daphne were trapped on the roof when the door locked. Also, in another episode, Niles ruined his suit in going up in the service opening while being trapped in an elevator.

On Cheers, Diane was trapped in the floor, and communicated through a vent.

On Leave it to Beaver, Beaver was trapped in the giant coffee cup of a billboard.

On The King of Queens, Doug was trapped in the ceiling over a closet (could not move).
