    Clarissa Explains It All. The no purple rule. The director wouldn't allow anything purple because the show was one of his first big gigs and didn't think anyone would listen to him. A producer gave him advice to pick something very random and enforce it no matter what to show assertiveness.

    The Smallville thing was particularly frustrating because Clark, instead of being the first superhero, is seemingly the LAST superhero. Everyone else has appeared in costumes and many with code names, but he's still "the blurry thing".

      Tom welling never wanted to don the suit and made it so that he would only play the character if they never put the suit on him.

    One 'Rule' that can should be considered was Gene Roddenberry's decree in the early seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, where he forbade members of the Enterprise D crew to be seen arguing or disagreeing- it wasn't until Roddenberry passed on that this rule was lifted as episodes and Trek series later on allowed for more dissension and disagreements in the crews of DS9/Voyager/Enterprise and Discovery .

    On Hogan's Heroes, a sitcom centered around Allied military intelligence operatives using a comically ineptly run German POW camp as their in-country base of operations during WWII, the producers had a rule that all the Nazi characters had to be played exclusively by Jewish actors. Some of these actors, such as those cast as Sgt. Schultz and Gen. Berkhalter, were actually survivors of the German concentration camps. They absolutely loved getting the chance to portray the Nazis as a pack of witless, clueless, ineffectual dum-dums. In particular, Werner Klemperer, who played the camp commandant Col. Wilhelm Klinck, had a blast in the role -- his father was famous orchestra conductor Otto Klemperer, who managed to wrangle a concert tour for himself and his family in the 1930s, enabling them to get the hell out of Germany just prior to the Nazis imposing major travel restrictions on Jewish citizens. Werner put everything he had into playing Klinck as a total loser, and told the show's producers that on the day Col. Klinck was triumphant in anything at all, he'd quit.

    Jules' research intern needs to learn how to do research. The "I Love Lucy" episode was censored by their sponsor, Phillip Morris. They thought it would negatively impact cigarette sales because (yes we did know this) the associations with cigarettes and low birth weight.
    Extra fact: Lucy smoked Chesterfields and would swap them out of her Phillip Morris packs on set.

    I do know who that was in Gotham but that definitely wasn't Joker. It was just some random psycho joker wannabe. I liked Gotham in the beginning but I had to walk away when they started trying to hard to shoehorn in all of Batman's supervillains. They even rushed to age Bruce so it wouldn't be so far off but he was still a teenager.

      I would add lighting in with it. Contestants behind the wheel would be lit individually because they aren't next to each other. So when Pat walks over to the winners, he would be above the light focus, casting him in shadow, or he would be blocking the light, casting the contestants in shadow.

    8:54 Some of those 1987 TMNT episodes made it over here to the US because I specifically remembered after a while in later seasons Mikey almost never used his nunchucks and would pull out his turtle shell grappling hook to wrangle bad guys during fight scenes when I was a kid.

    If you watch all the seasons of Suits, it's pretty obvious when it made the shift from network TV to streaming because they start swearing constantly. But the weird thing is that for a year or two they swear constantly then, for one season, it drops off drastically. Swearing then returns again in later seasons.

    Spiderman wasn't allowed to mention blood at all, hence Morbius draining people of plasma. He also wasn't allowed to bite people hence having suckers on his hands. They also had a rule about firearms which is why all the guns used shot lasers.
    The sinister thing is confusing as the same network allowed the Xmen to use the character Mr Sinister without a name change.

    When it comes to The Walking Dead, I guess someone dropped the ball or left the "F" bomb in there on purpose.
    During the last season, Daryl was gonna shoot the spokesperson in the face of that twisted faction trying to take over every other group.
    He was just about to pull the trigger when Carol begged him not to. He pulled out is blade and stabbed him thru his hand. Then he said, "F--K him. He'll live."
