Charlie's Angels: Magic Fire

Channel: TVLand
Today on TVLand.
Record number: 45

Title: Charlie's Angels
Medium: TV Series

In an episode in which she is impersonating a fashion designer she is caught, bound to a chair (wrists behind her back, upper body tied to the chair, ankles bound -- all with electrical cord) and tape gagged. There are several scenes with her all trussed up and she struggles to break free after a fire breaks out.
Bonus for faux gag and mask fans: She is administered oxygen through a clear plastic mask over her nose and mouth following her rescue.

In another scene, a good-looking blonde has her wrists bound behind her back, but she's not gagged.

Title: Melrose Place
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Laura Leighton

Description: Episode: "Big Bang Theory", Part 2 (3.33)


MELROSE PLACE 97: Big Bang Theory (Part 2). Dr. Kimberley Shaw (Marcia Cross) has gone off the deep end and decided to blow up the Melrose Place building. When Sydney (Leighton) surprises Kimberley in the laundry Sydney is knocked out and when she regains consciousness finds herself well tied and cleave gagged. Her arms are tied behind and she appears to be actually hogtied although when she is finally released the ropes come off surprisingly easily! But it looks good and she is wearing a tight cleave gag. At one point Kimberley removes the gag (under threat of nasty activities with a blowtorch) and forces Sydney to phone Michael Mancini and persuade him to come to the laundry. The gag is then replaced. Eventually Michael saves her, knocking Kimberley out. As the episode ends Kimberley has recovered and tells everyone the place is about to be blown apart.

Days of Our Lives
Day: Monday September 01 2003
Time: various various
Channel: NBC
From a "days ahead" website for Monday, Sept 1...

"She has a fantasy whereby Roman & Marlena are hugging and kissing away, while Sami (now in a red dress) leads a tied up and gagged John & Kate in to a guilliotine, and proceeds to chop off their heads. (No we do not see it). Roman & Marlena tell Sami how proud they are of her, and her dress did not even show the blood, as she tells them to toddle off on their honeymoon. She will run Basic Black, only she is changing the name…..to Stunningly Sami! ROTFL. Back to reality as Sami sits at her desk, axe close by, and pulls out her pasted together picture of J&M, and talks to herself of revenge."

Might be worth taping, who knows from this description..
Days of Our Lives
Canadian
Day: Monday September 01 2003
Time: Midnight
Channel: HistCan
Record number: 286

Title: Three Days Of The Condor (1975)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Faye Dunaway

Description: Tied up for a while and briefly gagged, in the middle half of the movie, with several pairs of stockings.
Versions of the film usually aired on British TV are the same, but the first cut I ever saw (also on TV) had a scene in which Redford started by saying, "I need your car." He proceeded to tie her up against her protestations, and just before he gagged her, she said, "This is not fair!" There were several almost-closeups of her face being gagged and struggling as Redford left.

The order of scenes is also changed in subsequent versions; the original sequence made the narrative much clearer.
EL SECUESTRO (1972)
Day: Monday September 01 2003
Time: 130AM PT (Tuesday morning)
Channel: TELEMUNDO

This is listed at ninety minutes ... I'm not sure if the scene times in the entry are from an airing of that length, or two hours.
.
Record number: 1311

Title: El Secuestro (1970)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Claudia Islas

Description: In this Spanish-language film, Ms. Islas becomes the involuntary house guest of a wealthy hunk who happens to be blind. The first scene occurs around 28' in (with ads). She's gagged and bound hand and foot with white tape in her nightie when a local vendor makes a delivery. He releases her afterward, but leaves her to free her own ankles.

The second scene comes in at about the hour mark. The local constabulary stop by, perhaps searching for her, and she's bound and gagged as before, wearing a snug blouse, flared slacks and shiny red boots. This time she struggles off the bed and pulls her way across the floor with her legs to a table, upturning it into the bedroom's plate-glass window just after the gendarmerie exit the gate.

Her captor returns, lifts her off the floor, deposits her on the bed and again removes her bonds.
