Answer 1

The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe

It's about one man getting revenge for being insulted.

The narrator (Montresor) is the one that was unsulted. At a carnival, he lures his friend (Fortunato) down to this deep wine cellar (also where the catacombs are) with a brand of amontillado which is a very expensive and rich wine.

Along the way, Montresor gets Fortunato drunk by drinking the wine within the wine cellar. He leads him to a niche, tells him the wine is inside, then ties Fortunato to the wall with chains, I think. He then covers the niche by building a brick wall.

American poet and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe has had significant influence in television and film.

The concept of sealing someone alive behind a brick wall, "a la Poe" in The Cask of Amontillado, was used in the September 22, 1971, episode of Rod Serling's TV series Night Gallery, titled "The Merciful".  The episode included a short segment in which an old woman (Imogene Coca) is apparently sealing her husband (King Donavan), passively seated in an old chair, in the basement behind a brick wall she is building. She assures him it is "really much better this way," that she is "doing this for your own good." When she finishes the wall, the old man gets up and walks upstairs to the main floor of the house. His wife has sealed herself in.

Could that be the TV show?  There are probably another dozen movies and TV shows with that theme...so it's may be hard to pin in down.

Hope this information was somewhat interesting, if not completley helpful.
