Mission Impossible III
Day: Sunday March 10 2013
Time: 5:30 PM Eastern
Channel: TNT
Record number: 12016

Title: Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Michelle Monaghan, Keri Russell

Description: In the entry scene Ethan Hunt´s girlfriend Julia (Michelle Monaghan) is cuffed to a chair and tape-gagged. The villain Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) treats her with a gun to get important information from Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) whose also cuffed to a chair.

The scene continues during the last 20 minutes. Owen shoots Julia, but suprise it was not her it was the incompetently female bodyguard of Owen with an - since Peter Graves succesfull time - typical Mission Impossible second face. Julia is still alive and kept at another place. Ethan is later just right at her real hideout where he finds her ... ah you guess right ... cuffed to a chair and gagged with silver tape. Davian rips off the tape fight against a few baddies and frees her finally. There is good mmpphing and struggling.

One other short scene in this movie: at around the 17:00 mark, Keri Russell is tied to a wheelchair (arms taped to the arms of the chair). She's been beaten up a bit. Rescued by Mr. Cruise pretty quick. No gag.

Thunderbolt & Lightfoot
Day: Sunday March 10 2013
Time: 10:50 AM & 6:00 PM Eastern
Channel: Encore-Suspense
Record number: 847

Title: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Beth Howland, Leslie Oliver

Description: At around the 105' mark in the 150' TBS airing of this film, Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy break into the home of a vault manager and his wife (Ms. Howland in an uncredited role). Eastwood binds the couple back-to-back, gagging her with white tape, while Kennedy happens upon their daughter having "relations" with a young man. They end up bound naked face-to-face and gagged with balls and tape, the ball gagging of the young woman is shown.

Later, the hapless parents make their way to the daughter's room and discover the young'uns in their predicament (this is when we first see them bound, the earlier scene only showed the daughter's ballgagging, IIRC).

Caveat: All footage of the daughter is missing from the TBS airing, save a quick ungagged head-and-shoulders shot.

That Darn Cat
Day: Sunday March 10 2013
Time: 9:45 AM Eastern
Channel: TMC
Record number: 648

Title: That Darn Cat (1997)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Christina Ricci, Rebecca Koon

Description: At the start of this Disney comedy a matronly woman (Koon) is abducted but we do not see her bound until about 18 minutes in. She is sitting in a chair with her hands tied in front with thin cord (only seen later when she is released) and a number of turns of very thick rope around her torso. She is gagged with a short length of tape. She is seen again at 1 hour 6 minutes and shortly after. The cat of the title finds her and she and fastens her wristwatch as a collar on the cat to summons help.

The rest of the film follows the attempts of the Police, assisted by Ricci, to follow the cat and locate her. At about 1 hour 17 minutes Ricci finds her, but is then also captured and we briefly see her similarly tied and gagged (this is a comedy so the cat also gets a gag!). Short scenes, times with adverts in a 1 hour 30 minute broadcast.
