As we all know Executive Meddling is a stench. In Toku, it's no exception.

These are the mandates from their producers, sponsors (Bandai), or their TV stations.

The examples are:

In Power Rangers SPD, the budget went to the final episodes, meaning that Disney couldn't hire a Omega Ranger's human actor, and the latter half started using Sentai plots.

Nickelodeon had the 20 episodes per season for their shows. This is why we had the 2 seasons of PR.

Judd Lynn and his crew wanted to make Ninja Steel serious, akin to In Space, but the execs wanted to them to put more comedy.

Kamen Rider Hibiki had the latter half to be replaced with Shinichirou Shirakura (白倉伸一郎) as a producer, and Toshiki Inoue (井上敏樹) as a writer, replacing Shigenori Takadera (高寺成紀) as a producer, and Tsuyoshi Kida, and Shinji Ooishi (大石真司) as a writer. This is due to them going over budget. And it being not Ridery.

Post your examples of Executive Meddling.
