McGoohan was originally offered the role of Simon Templar
in the popular ITC series The Saint, but turned it down
because he considered the part 'too promiscuous'. The
Saint's creator, author Leslie Charteris, commented: "He
was very puritanical and wouldn't work on any scenes which
involved kissing girls!" The role went to Roger Moore,
who never had any such qualms...
When the BBC started screening Star Trek in 1970, they
received a number of complaints about the episode Miri
and decided not to show it again.
They also banned three other adventures: Whom Gods
Destroy, The Empath and Plato's Stepchildren,
which were not seen in Britain for more than 20 years.
No reason was given for the bannings, although Plato's
Stepchildren had caused controversy in America because
it featured the first inter-racial kiss on TV - between
Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhuru (Nichelle
Nichols).... 
Nancy Cartwright, who played the young Penny Robinson
in Lost In Space, provides the voice for the awesomely
awful Bart in the highly-popular cartoon series The Simpsons....

in every episode of the show's five-year run!...
