** One of the rare and unfortunate examples of this trope played straight, however, was ''[[Gundam Seed]]''. Granted, it was [[Bandai Entertainment]], NOT [[Cartoon Network]], who requested this to sell more toys. However, this forced American fans to wait for the ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' DVDs to hear the words "kill" and "die", since [[Adult Swim]] (which replaced the Midnight Run) had no interest in showing the uncut version of ''[[Gundam Seed]]''.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: When Moltar hosted the show, he mentioned that he used to date Sailor Jupiter, but something happened that caused them to break up.
** As mentioned above, there's also no explanation for why TOM v3 was replaced with v4, or went back to v3 for the April 1st airing and subsequent relaunch (though [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]] is probably responsible for the latter).
* [[Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be]]: If you grew up in the late [[The Nineties|1990s]]/early [[Turn of the Millennium|2000s]], this is probably how you feel about most of kids show programs today.
* [[The Nth Doctor]]: The Clydes are the most prevalent example--the 49 was a single statillite unit during Moltar's reign. Once TOM stepped in, Clyde 49 became Clyde 50s (floating security cameras around the Absolution). The DOKs, unoffically Clyde 51s, added limbs to the design (amongst other things). The Clyde 52s were basically floating, solar-powered emoticons. The Clyde 53s were complex beetle-like structures with elements from each of their predecessors. The singular Clyde 54 vaguely resembled the Clyde 50s, but with a humanoid face (much like TOM v.4).
