Three's Company- Jack was jailed for using his self-defense moves on a police officer. On a side note, I LOVE the scenes where he's in jail!!! HILARIOUS!!!

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air- Will and Carlton are jailed for "driving too slow" in an all-white neighborhood in an episode that tackles racial profiling. The jail scenes with that creepy guy singing and Will and Carlton trying to get on TV to get Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv's attention were just too funny!!

I also love how the episode ends. Very thought-provoking.

Full House- Uncle Jesse is jailed on his wedding day.

The Brady Bunch- The entire Brady Clan goes to jail when they go to the Grand Canyon.

I Love Lucy- There are several different jail situations on I Love Lucy. For Example, en route to Hollywood, Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel get put into jail.

on Happy Days Marion went to jail when her car went through the wall at Arnold's, and Richie, Ralph, and Potsie went to jail for breaking the curfew and Richie and Howard stayed in jail to protest the curfew.

on Bosom Buddies Kip and Henry went to jail because Henry's Uncle gave them some stolen equipment - the scenes are mostly cut out of the jail sequence on the dvd's because they did a musical numeber in the cell

On Gomer Pyle USMC, Gomer is put in jail for stealing money from a phone booth. He was actually trying to put the money back in the pay phone.

Sanford and Son when the guys think they are going to be movie stars and end up in a porn raid, Fred complaining about the jail toilet and the awful jail food is great. One of my top 5 Sanford episodes.

Get Smart Had Episodes where Maxwell Smart or 99 were in Jail, usually as a plot by KAOS for some dirty deed.
