List Of Groundings In ATBW Media

This page contains a full list of groundings in ATBW Media including shows, comics, books, movies, and games. ATBW Blog shows are also included in this list. A grounding is when a character in a series gets grounded mainly for a bad thing and it usually lasts for a week though sometimes a month, though a lot of shows interpret it in a different manner, and the reason varies in each episode in any series. Sometimes they may be completely grounded while other times they are only on slight restriction.

Groundings are typically more common in comedy sitcoms, but can be for any show regardless of it's genre. The first instance of a grounding goes all the way back to 1973 in the novel Trouble Of Twos. This became more commonplace in the 1980's in media and comics, and had even expanded into the world of ATBW Blog in the 1990's since it's launch. Shows like the ATBW Blog sitcom Hampton Bay typically have many groundings, while shows like California City Show rarely have groundings.
