* ''Derrick'', one of the most popular German detective series ever and a hit in most of Europe, was banned completely when in 2012 it turned out that actor Horst Tappert (who died in 2008) had been a member of the SS during his youth. This had never been reported before and as a result, all episodes were pulled from syndication and DVD availability.

** In Germany, the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]" was banned due to [[NoSwastikas heavy references to Nazism]]. (The episode features an alien culture who are in-universe explicitly imitating the Third Reich, rather than the usual [[ANaziByAnyOtherName evil culture who just happen to have a suspicious resemblance to Nazi Germany]].)

Added DiffLines:

** One of Drew Carey's early episodes has been banned from reruns, mainly due to the antics of one particular contestant, whose bids on One Bid items frequently incorporated "69" or "420" in them. One isolated incident was a bid of ''$2,000,000'' on a kitchen island. Fortunately, he failed to ever get up on stage, especially after he had basically pissed off Drew and the producers.

** A rare game show example; purportedly, on the demands of longtime host Bob Barker, episodes in which furs were awarded as prizes, which includes the premiere episode in 1972. Some said the ban also encompasses episodes that feature model Holly Hallstrom (roughly, those episodes airing from 1977-1995) due to various disputes in which she sided against Barker, but that was disproven when Fremantle launched an 80s channnel of formerly vaulted ''Price'' episodes on Pluto TV late in 2020. It remains to be seen whether the ban against episodes with furs has been lifted following Bob's death in August 2023 or not; the primetime tribute special ''The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker'' featured clips from the first episode in 1972, which may indicate that it has.

It remains to be seen whether the "ban" has truly expired, or if the ban is still being enforced simply out of respect for Barker.
