Line 55:
* Subverted in ''[[Family Ties]]'' when the father informs the oldest daughter that she's grounded, at which point she informs them that they can't ground her, she's over 18. "Darn, that used to work so well," the father moans.
* [[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]] episode "Grounded for Life" sees Little Pete confined to his room for the summer...but he tunnels out. With a paperweight. He's got everything figured out--except how to cover up the dynamite explosions from busting away large rocks...
{{quote| '''Big Pete''' (to Dad)''':''' It's just parasites. ''[[Attack of the 50
* Subverted in [[Privileged]]: Megan grounds Rose for {{spoiler|attempting to cheat on her history final}}. Rather than attempt to fight against it, Rose goes out of her way to prove to Megan how seriously she's taking the punishment, bringing her favourite items to Megan voluntarily and being extra-helpful around the house. Also subverted in that Megan actively ends the grounding rather than it just vanishing next episode.
* An unusual example occurs in the ''[[That 70s Show]]'' episode "The Crunge", when Eric realizes that he got a pathetically low score on his SATs because his girlfriend distracts him from studying, so he asks his father to ground him so he could concentrate.
Line 105:
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|Jimmy Neutron]]''. All the time. For starters, in the pilot episode.
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'': Not so much grounded as she was put under house arrest, Sam sneaks out to save Danny--currently brainwashed by [[Evil Albino|Freakshow]]--and is praised (along with her friends) by her parents for capturing the villain...But they're still grounded.
** In "Fanning the Flames", Jack and Maddie are outraged by their kids' behavior--Danny for being lovesick, Jazz for being obsessed with Ember. They are both grounded. Which is better [[wikipedia:Iron maiden
* Happens about two times in ''[[Totally Spies]]'' The is where Clover ended up grounded due to a late curfew (though in truth was due to a mission). She manages to sneak out thanks to a WHOOP gadget that displays holograms. The second was in a movie where the girls' moms forbid their spy work after they find out their secret. Doesn't help that a brainwashed [[Alpha Bitch|Mandy]] and her friends are trying to kill them at the time.
* Happent to Beezy on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]''. Unfortunately, in Miseryville, [[Not So Harmless Punishment|it means being]] [[Buried Alive]]. In a sandbox.
