Knight Rider "Give me liberty..."
Day: Friday September 21 2007
Time: 10 a.m. Pacific
Channel: TVLand
Today on TVLand. Note that it will very likely be an edited version.
Record number: 865

Title: Knight Rider
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Robin Dearden

Description: Episode: "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death" (1.15)

When Liberty (Dearden) is caught overhearing the baddies' conversation, she's first handgagged, then bound and gagged with white tape. She's shown sitting on a couch as they discuss what to do with her. She's wearing a t-shirt, pants and jacket.

As part of a scheme to make it looked like she died in some sort of accident, she is taken the side of the racetrack inside a large box in the back of a van. She is taken out, carried her over the shoulder to the large rock, then tied to it with white rope, next to a bomb. She is wearing a crash helmet. Michael (David Hasselhoff), of course, arrives in time to save her. The next scene shows the still bound and gagged heroine seated next to him in KITT, as he teases his captive audience.

The sequence begins around the 43' mark.

Las Vegas ("Heroes")
Day: Friday September 21 2007
Time: 9:00PM E.T.
Channel: TNT

Record number: 12567

Title: Las Vegas
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Vanessa Marcil

Description: Episode: "Heroes" (4.17)

This episode of "Las Vegas", the conclusion of a two-part season finale, has one of the best bondage scenes in the history of television, ranking up there with the "Lost Women" episode of "Vega$". Vanessa Marcil, the gorgeous petite brunette, spends amlost the entire episode bound and gagged. She has been kidnapped by a deranged rich man, incapacitated by a sedative in her drink and bound and gagged in a trunk.

To begin with, the scenes in which Ms. Marcil is bound and gagged in the trunk are lit just perfectly by a skilled lighting technician. Despite the crepuscular conditions, visibility is more than adequate, and Ms. Marcil's gag, the strip of duct tape, is perfectly visible. We owe a debt of gratitude to the lighting technician for the series; the man or woman really knows his or her job, and our enjoyment of the episode was enhanced because of this.

Secondly, the keyhole in the trunk is used to great effect; Ms. Marcil peers out of it frequently to see who or what was outside, and the light through the keyhole illuminates her gagged mouth very seductively. Potential rescuers are frequently just outside the trunk, but she is unable to alert them to her predicament, since she is gagged. The scene near the end of the episode when she sees her friend and potential rescuer, the security guy, walking just a few feet away, and attempts to alert him by screaming ineffectually through her gag, is priceless. The dastardly villain has done too good a job of gagging her; she can only manage some barely audible whimpers.

Her energetic struggling and attempts to make noises through her gag are especially enjoyable. She manages to unlock the trunk through energetic jostling, and wriggles out. The manner in which she's bound is original; her hands are tied in front of her with duct tape, but her wrists and forearms are secured to her thighs; this resembles a form of hogtie. I've never seen any actress bound in this manner.

Ms. Marcil manages to remove her gag by rubbing it against the coarse carpeting, make her way over to a telephone, knock it down to the floor, and attempt to make a call, only to have the villain walk in at that precise, inopportune moment. He rushes over to her, ends the call, and then engages in snappy repartee with Ms. Marcil; some of the dialogue is the obligatory admonition "You'll never get away with it."

Housekeeping then knocks on the door; the villain immediately applies a forceful handgag, and tells the dedicated housekeeping staff to return later. Ms. Marcil proceeds to scream as loudly as she can through the hand clamped over her mouth. The villain then gags Ms. Marcil with another strip of duct tape over her mouth.

Ms. Marcil spends nearly the entire episode bound and gagged; this has to be one of the best scenes featuring a bound and gagged actress in the history of television. One advantage for Ms. Marcil is that she certainly didn't have much dialogue to memorize for this episode; most of her lines are, "Mmmmph! Mmmmmph!".

Record number: 1691

Title: Murder in Mind (1996) aka A Deadly Vision
Medium: Movie
Actress: Kristin Davis

Description: A serial killer wants to kill a particular police officer. To this end, he kidnaps Kristin, and duct tapes her to a canvas chair. Her hands are taped in front, and a length of tape pins her shoulders to the chair. Her ankles are taped and she's gagged with a strip of tape for good measure. Unusual ending, but I won't spoil it for you.

The action begins around the last ten minutes, and goes 'til nearly the end. IMO a top drawer scene, with a well-sealed tape gag.

Daniel Boone
Day: Friday September 21 2007
Time: 5:00pm EST
Channel: WHT (World Harvest TV)
Episode: "The Traitor" (4.8)

Julia Cartwright (Peters), the beautiful blonde daughter of a British colonel, is captured by the Shawnee. To avoid execution as a traitor, Daniel Boone agrees to help a band of British redcoats rescue her.

Julia's coach gets hijacked and she's handgagged by a Shawnee brave. A littler later, when she tries to cry out, another brave handgags her. She also gets bound and gagged twice. Early in the episode, she's very quickly shown sitting against a tree with her hands tied behind her and nicely cleave-gagged. This is just a teaser. The big scene, at the end, has her roped standing at a tree and tightly cleave-gagged (one of the tightest in the annals of television). The scene is lengthy and there are some great close-ups of our damsel struggling. This is an 4 star scene!
