Ellen DeGeneres Reveals the Weird Rules That Can Get You Kicked Off the Show

The More You Know

  • For a long time, TV producers were hesitant to kill off main characters. The drama/comedy show M*A*S*H, set during the Korean War, broke through that barrier in "Abyssinia/Henry," when Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake's plane was shot down.
  • Arrested Development: Tobias's mustache was almost a no-go on the show because apparently FOX has a "no facial hair, no ball caps, no puffy sleeves" motto for men.
  • The Cosby Show: Sondra was almost played by Whitney Houston instead of Sabrina Le Beauf...but she turned down the role to pursue music.
  • Married... With Children (and Modern Family): Ed O'Neill's characters on both shows can be seen reading the same newspaper.
