I remember Diff'rent Strokes had two separate episodes on kidnapping, and I think Punky Brewster had one. Any others ?

There were 3 DS kidnapping episodes. The Bicycle Man Part 1 and 2, and Sam Gets Kidnapped.

Bicycle Man (2 parter, not really kidnapped but still)
Sam Gets Kidnapped (2 parter)

Suddenly Susan had fake one in Susan's Ex. Oliver pretended to kidnap her and take her on a romantic getaway on a private jet.

Mr. Belvedere was kidnapped by a lonely widow in one episode. Frank Burns was kidnapped by two North Korean soldiers on M*A*S*H. but only long enough to get them past a checkpoint.

Soap had one and Threes Company had an episode where Jack and Janet thought Cindy was kidnapped.

There was a Petticoat Junction episode, if I can recall the story correctly, in which a Vietnam war orphan is smuggled out of the country and arrives in Hooterville. Sort of qualifies as a kidnapping, as a child is moved illegally -- although for a beneficial purpose.
