{{Citizen}}: Anybody feel like dividing this into causes for not being able to return? Like:
*Banned For Hax
*DoomedHometown
*Bad Company
I admit the only reason I'm bringing this up is because I really wanted to use the phrase "Banned For Hax"... (adds to TitleBin) =P

{{Scrounge}}: You're missing causes, though... They simply don't have the means to go home, either because their transportation is gone, or they don't know the way... Let's call them, respectively...

*She Won't Fly Again
*All Roads Lead To Nowhere

LATER: Nah, let's just lump both of those, along with things like ''Samurai Jack'' and ''Sliders'', into one page with those as subcategories... How 'bout:
* You Can't Get There From Here

STILL LATER: And the third variation, where it's just something that falls outside normal travel? Let's call that subsection ''One Way Warp Zone''

{{Cassius335}} QuantumLeap? {{Sliders}}?

BigT: Yes to both, although {{Sliders}} ''does'' show the cast getting home a few times.

{{Caswin}}: The last example... what? I just want to get this cleared up, they would be shot - sorry, "SHOT BY ARMED GUARDS" - just for trying to see the base?

{{Caswin}}: Editing. Too much shouting.

ScudEast: This example under Live Action TV badly needs the show title:
* Paul Bremer, a German soldier in World War One, returns home from the front in 1918 only to find he no longer understands civilian life in Germany.
There happens to be an American diplomat named Paul Bremer, so Google is useless here...

{{Fighteer}}: Some of these examples belong in StrangerInAFamiliarLand. This trope would seem to be for when you are unable to return, not for when you go back and don't like it.
