** Creator/ColmMeaney was understandingly upset with the Irish stereotypes that appeared in "Up the Long Ladder". Once he was promoted to ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'', he insisted that for the episode "If Wishes Were Horses"(in which the crew's fantasies and nightmares come to life) the writers replace a leprechaun character with Rumpelstiltskin.

* ''Series/TheSexLivesOfCollegeGirls'': While she was thankful to the creators of the show as she shared on an Instagram statement responding to the news of her departure, in a 2023 podcast interview Renée Rapp [[https://www.j-14.com/posts/renee-rapp-sex-lives-of-college-girls-departure-explained/ had opened up]] about her "terrible" experience during the first year of filming, elaborating on how hard it was for her to play (Leighton) a character similar to her. Rapp, who is bisexual, thought she wasn't "good enough", as most gay men on set openly showed skepticism on her sexual orientation, something that pissed her off. She would even feel a lot of pressure while filming intimate scenes.

* Creator/JohnLaurie was quite vocal about his dislike for ''Series/DadsArmy'' and feeling like a ClassicallyTrainedExtra, griping, "I've played every part in Shakespeare, I was considered to be the finest Theatre/{{Hamlet}} of the twenties and I had retired, and now I'm famous for doing this crap". According to some sources such as Creator/BillPertwee however, he did actually like the show, or at least became a lot fonder of it the more successful it became.

** Creator/JanetDavies wasn't happy about Mrs. Pike's lessening appearances in the series or with how she wasn't asked to play the role for the radio adaptation. Creator/PamelaCundell also wasn't happy about missing out on the radio and thought that Creator/MollieSugden wasn't right in the role of Mrs. Fox, playing it too broad and not feminine enough.

* Creator/JimmyNail wrote in his autobiography that he felt the second series of ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet'' lacked the gritty edge of the first. Creator/DickClementAndIanLaFrenais agreed - on the DVDCommentary, Clement said the season was much more contrived in getting and keeping the gang together, and La Frenais said he felt the gang weren't trapped together enough. In particular, he felt the Spanish episodes were too luxurious for the gang, which reduced the impact of the series.

* Creator/RichardBriers knew ''Series/BirdsOnTheWing'' was a flop and was embarrassed that he had taken part in it:
-->It was a bit of a flop and lasted just six episodes. Trouble is, in my day if you had a flop, and we all have flops, you took it off your CV, like a play that ran ten days, you didn't put it in ''Spotlight''. Naturally, you put up your good notices and the losers went out the window. Now with these bloody computers and the internet, you can't get rid of it. ''Birds on the Wing'', why would I want that on my credits? It was terrible; sorry love, it's there. All your sins are remembered.

* Noted children's television hostess Xuxa tried at all costs to retrieve [[BleachedUnderpants old pornographic material involving her]], [[ContractualPurity which is understandable]]. This includes a 1982 issue of ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' that is consequently highly sought by collectors. There was also concern over a film she appeared in that saw her in, shall we say, a romantic interlude with someone who would have fallen within the same age demographic as her TV show. After the advent of the internet, Xuxa successfully sued a big auction website to stop sales of a soft-porn movie with her, as well as a widely-circulated newspaper for showing a half-naked picture of her.

Kerry Howard, who played Hyacinth in the special, defended it by saying that it's not a remake or reboot of the show, but a side story that rounds out the character.

He even bashed it during an episode of ''Series/ChappellesShow'', calling it "irrelevant and not funny." (It didn't help that ExecutiveMeddling saw the chemistry vanish when Jim Brewer was replaced.)

** Creator/PennyIrving's departure after Series 1 was because she hated the show and didn't find it funny at all.
** Creator/RikkiHoward thought the role of Betty was getting stale and left after Series 5 to return to the theatre.
** Creator/BarryHoward grew unhappy with his role and began to drink heavily on set as a result. Jimmy Perry gave him several chances to stop drinking (the character of Julian Dalrymple-Sykes was written into "The Epidemic" as a warning that if Howard's misbehaviour kept up, he would be replaced). Still, the final straw came during the filming of Series 7 when a drunken Howard pushed one of the Yellowcoat girls into the pool. He was written out the next series, replaced by who else but Julian, as mentioned above.

* The two ''Series/PressYourLuck'' episodes featuring Michael Larson (who [[LoopholeAbuse memorized the big board's patterns]] to win $110,237 in cash and prizes) were banned by CBS and producer Bill Carruthers from being rerun for 19 years, as they saw the Larson episodes as an embarrassment. Outside [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes tape trading]], they weren't officially broadcast until GSN's documentary ''Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal'' aired in March 2003.

Everybody loves Raymond, don't they?") is lost and makes the show seem like ItsAllAboutMe.

I think the story was good despite what I did to it"). He felt that making the episodes an hour long (whereas the episodes from the previous three seasons had all been a half hour) did nothing but unnecessarily pad them out and make the stories less tight, and only returned to do the fifth and final season with the stipulation that the episode run time was reduced back to a half hour. To this day the hour long episodes are hardly ever shown in syndication, and season four is the only season of the series that is completely unavailable on Creator/{{Netflix}}.
