Yes. Watching ODAAT today I was thinking the same thing, that this happened on Who's the boss too.

At the moment, I can only think of 2 shows where 2 characters were stuck in handcuffs, but I remember there being more.

I Love Lucy- Lucy and Ricky
Three's Company - Jack and Chrissy
Perfect Strangers -? It's been a while since I've seen that show

On Happy Days the motel room plot was the first plot post Richie with Joanie and Chachi.
