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.
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 .
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".
On Hogan's Heroes, a sitcom centered around Allied military intelligence operatives using a comically ineptitude 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.
Arrow was forced to kill off Amanda Waller and Deadshot by DC and wasn’t allowed use Harley Quinn because of the Suicide Squad movie that was getting released
They also had Captain Boomerang be conveniently be in prison for 2 seasons after he was introduced in Arrow Season 3, then immediately killed him off when they did bring him back in the finale of Season 5
The Price Is Right - Key lights. Each contestant has to be lit consistently with each camera. By having them blocked in 3-d allows each players head to be in frame with little camera movement.
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.
The walking dead can’t use the word zombie because the term does not exist in that world (no zombie films etc…) Also related to turtles the rules on nunchucks change when one of the bbfc bosses died,this lead to the creation of dvd series Hong Kong legends where uncut martial arts films were released 👍👍
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.
Someone may have found out for sure already, but i bet the wheel of fortune thing is likely so they could reach the wheel to spin it. At least, that's the only logical conclusion I can assume.
How about 1960s STAR TREK not allowed any Chinese crew members? - Though any such would possibly have been played by a latin actor? Might this be akin to Mr Sulu never getting any action? Though he got a daughter from somewhere
I bet you beits absolutely hate the fact that your country will actually censor TMNT The turtle line is absolutely Ridiculous But get other countries feature nudity on tv

Correct about the Walking Dead, except for their later seasons, they did allow f bombs, once per episode.
Dead City is good
I was honestly just about to say, It was season 4 I think where the first F-bomb is dropped in Terminus.
@DarkAngelBluejay I thought that as wee, but on my last rewatch something else was said.

I liked how Gotham handled The Joker. Because there are always two in a deck.
The Wheel of Fortune one was probably just for framing. If someone was an entire head shorter it makes it hard to frame up on camera.

It will always be Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles to me.
"Very Special Episodes" started back in the '70's.
See, I have always known it as Teenage Mutant Turtles, and I'm from the UK, and I grew up in the 90s. Never have I remembered it as Hero Turtles.
The Walking Dead started using the F bomb in the final season when it streamed on Disney+ in the UK.
_"The_ _Walking_ _Dead_ and *it's* odd choice of language."
Is that meant to be irony?
The smallville one was actually a rule from Tom Welling himself. That last episode you can see he was right about the rule.
He didn't originate it, he just made sure they enforced it. It was originated by the original creators of the show.
The ending was very frustrating, and I actually stopped watching the show for last few seasons when he went to Metropolis and he still wasn't flying.
"Can't be shorter than Pat Sajak" ..... Proceeds to show nothing but contestants shorter than him, Yeah ok.
Return of the king baby! Wooh! Jules is back. Somebody tell him I said he's the best one.

This would have been great to sneak in some Vince McMahon era WWE TV rules 🤣🤣
L O C A L M E D I C A L F A C I L I T Y
Surprised you didn't mention any of Vince MacMahon's stupid little banned words list for WWE TV.
They’ve got another channel for that mate.
@MrDrSmithJr Oh yeah? Thanks.

4th
good for you, no one fucking cares.
I bet you beits absolutely hate the fact that your country will actually censor TMNT
The turtle line is absolutely Ridiculous
But get other countries feature nudity on tv
I can safely say that we Brits really don't give a damn about it.
When gothem introduced to "not joker" is when i stopped watching
You chose to miss some of the best scenes.
