Nothing.

There's been this annoying assumption that I was faced with restrictions. It's just not true. For starters, during the first season I was both the Producer and the Executive in charge of the production. I was reporting to myself. Even during the second season, when I moved over to full-time producing and an executive was assigned to the series, he always deferred to me with only one exception. That's one exception over the course of hundreds and hundreds of decisions.

That doesn't mean it was a one-man show. Frank Paur and I were equal partners. I valued the input of story editors, actors, directors, etc. But there was only one idea of mine that was directed. And admittedly, it was a very surreal esoteric idea. Even then, my bosses were willing to let me pursue it as a single episode. But I felt it needed two parts to do it justice. They didn't want to dedicate two episodes to something quite so strange.

With the single exception of that story, the "content" you saw was exactly what I WANTED to put on the air. I had freedom. Better, I had autonomy.

As for the anime series you named, I haven't seen the last two. And if G-Force is what I think it is, then my memory of it is of a fairly juvenal series. Nothing particularly content-shocking in the version I saw. But maybe I'm mixing it up with something else. Feels like it was twenty years ago or something.
