I've been thinking it over, but I thought it would be fun to track down the criminal records of various sitcom characters.
iCarly: Sam Puckett has been at Juvenile Hall at least four times. Drake & Josh: The two main characters have been in jail on plenty of occasions. The Simpsons: Okay, they're animated, but who cares? The entire family has been busted for one reason or another, Homer most of all. Roseanne: At least Dan Connor, who was busted for beating the crap out of Jackie's boyfriend for beating her. Family Ties: There has been the episode where Alex was arrested with a bunch of feminists in order to impress his girlfriend, and I'm pretty sure the Keaton parents got busted when the protested the Vietnam War before the series. Sanford & Son: I still remember an episode where Fred Sanford was caught up in some porn bust. That Girl: Ann Marie has been busted at least twice. Once in a cavegirl outfit while working as a waitress for a mafia family, and the other time while trying to hide the Bauman's christmas gifts from a potential burglar/scalper. Any others? |

Lamont and Rollo were also arrested with Fred in that "porno" sting, leaving Aunt Esther to go to the police station to bail them all out.
Debra fell asleep in the driver's seat of her car after drinking too much at Amy's bachlorette party. She had no intention of driving, just sleeping, but she got arrested anyway. After Ray bailed her out, they desperately tried to hide this from Marie, who of course found out anyway. (Everybody Loves Raymond)Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer were sent to the slammer in the series finale. (Seinfeld) Larry and Balki were arrested a couple of times - for intent to launder money (though naive Balki was taken in by a mobster and had no idea it was illegal, and Larry was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the second time it mistaken identity - causing Larry and Jennifer to marry in the jail!) (Perfect Strangers) The Winslows' troubled nephew/cousin stole a car for a joyride, taking Eddie and Urkel with him, causing all three to be arrested. (Family Matters) Brad, the oldest Taylor boy, got into trouble with the police several times for breaking windows with friends. (Home Improvement) |

My Three Sons, circa seasons 8-10: Both Steve and Chip were arrested at different times, parked on private property after hours (Steve with soon-to-be wife Barbara, Chip on a curfew violation with the daughter of Steve's friend). Neither did any time of course. Charley ran afoul of police while in drag after a lodge show -- including a wig! Also, Ernie had to explain to police why he and his friends took some old tires from the Douglas garage after Charley reported the "theft."
Leave It to Beaver: Very young Beaver drives a powered go-kart into the street -- obviously no driver's license -- and he and Wally have to appear before a judge. |
