* In one episode of ''[[The Greatest American Hero]]'', Maxwell is given a truth serum by the [[General Ripper]] villain of the story. The resultant babblings about [[Clothes Make the Superman|Ralph's supersuit]] are dismissed as crazy talk.
* In the ''[[Quantum Leap]]'' episode "Star Light, Star Bright", Sam leaps into an old man obsessed with UFOs who is dosed with sodium pentothal by government [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]]. Instead of telling them what his host knows about UFOs, he starts revealing top-secret information about himself and the Quantum Leap project. [[The Men in Black]] just assume it's gibberish and that they've given him too high a dosage.
* In the ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' episode "The Foxes and Hounds Affair''", Napoleon and Illya are injected with truth serum to make them reveal the location of a device wanted by THRUSH. Napoleon, who is out of the loop this episode and legitimately doesn't know, just starts acting drunk; but Illya is compelled to give up the information after minimal resistance.
* In an episode of ''[[Human Target]]'', the plan is for Ilsa to give the villain of the episode wine dosed with such a chemical so he'll tell them his password. Played with, in that to convince him that it isn't poisoned, she also drinks it herself, after which she tells him the whole plan.
