While everything usually comes just about perfect with the final cut, things are obviously never as neat when they aren't rolling. We now bring you some of the biggest issues from our favorite TV shows' sets - that have been kept secret for quite some time even after the shows ended. We sure hope our no. 17 had a great fire insurance!

Dallas - Troubles in Paradise

American TV soap opera Dallas was a very popular show during the ’70 and the ‘80s in the United States. It ended in 1991, after bringing its cast and crew huge earnings. While filming, lead actors Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy drank a lot and they never hid that fact. Sadly, Hagman died back in 2012 of cancer, having previously a liver transplant because of his addiction to alcohol. Aside from his acting career, Hagman was also a respected director and producer with a career spanning more than sixty years, before his passing. Meanwhile, Patrick Duffy is still pursuing his acting career and he returned to the series which had aired from 2012 until 2014.

Rock Hudson was one of the most notable names in the film industry during the ’50s and the ‘60s, appearing in many movies before switching to the television series in the ‘70s. Among the many roles in his portfolio, the famous actor made an appearance in the mega-popular soap opera Dynasty, which aired from 1981 to 1989. At the time, Hudson reportedly knew he had contracted the HIV virus but kept it a secret as little was known about the disease at the time.

Knots Landing - Money Problems

Constance McCashin started her acting career during the ‘80s, appearing in movies and TV shows but she's most recognized for her role as Laura Avery Sumner in the soap opera, Knots Landing. Although she showed remarkable performance, producers had to, unfortunately, let her go due to the business finance crisis that they were going through. Her character was killed, but not before the cast members decided to write the funeral scene themselves as a tribute to their colleague. Years later, McCashin stated she was hurt with the way they decided to get rid of her. Today, the former actress earns money as a  therapist and social worker. She lives in Massachusetts and is a proud parent of two children.

Melrose Place - Place Of Love

It is not unusual for two actors to get romantically involved while working on the set as we have heard many stories about our favorite celebrities falling in love. The popular ‘90s soap opera, Melrose Place, wasn’t any different, and it takes credit for playing cupid to many of its cast members. While filming the first season, Courtney Thorne-Smith was dating actor Andrew Shue. After they broke up, she started dating Grant Show. Her co-worker, actress Laura Leighton, dated Show right after their relationship but eventually, Leighton married Doug Savant. One more couple from the show that was together in real life were actors Heather Locklear and Josie Bissett. Real life soap opera, that’s for sure.

Beverly Hills, 90210 - Strict Dad

Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for ten years on Fox, from 1990 until 2000. As it is a drama, there are many intrigues and many couples hook up then break up in the episodes. Fun fact is that the only character who hasn’t lost her virginity and doesn’t have a partner for a long time was Donna Martin. The producer, Aaron Spelling, didn’t want it to be about abstinence. It is that the character was played by his daughter, American actress Tori Spelling and the creator didn’t want her to have any kind of intimate relationship on-screen, stimulating or not. Nevertheless, the actress enjoyed playing that part and earning big money for herself.

The Dick Van Dyke Show - Alcoholism & Other Problems

Popular American comedian, dancer, and actor Dick Van Dyke gained huge fame with his role in The Dick Van Dyke Show, during the ‘60s. Battling substance abuse and addiction is quite common among celebrities so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he himself was having drinking problems while he was filming the show. Instead of confronting the crew of the sitcom when something bothered him, Van Dyke would spend money on alcohol. While Van Dyke struggled with drinking, his fellow actress Mary Tyler Moore was dealing with dizziness, weight loss, and blurred vision, but she thought she was just exhausted. Unwittingly then, Moore was showing early signs of Type 1 diabetes.

I Dream of Jeannie - Hidden Pregnancy

Veteran actress Barbara Eden was the star of the fantasy sitcom I Dream of Jeannie from 1965 until 1970. During the first ten episodes, the actress was pregnant with her first child and, although we remember her for wearing harem costumes, in the beginning, the crew hid her belly with a top that covered her whole upper body. Ones she got rid of that top, the show got even more fans. Fun fact about I Dream of Jeannie is that it is the last show whose first season was filmed black and white. Although the producers had a chance to film it in color, they didn’t want to because of Jeannie’s pink smoke cloud and of course, it cost more money.

Bewitched is an American sitcom that aired from 1964 until 1972. Among many actors, Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the stars of the show. At the time the pilot was shot, the assassination of the President JFK happened and the actress, as well as producer Bill Asher, had a very hard time filming the episode as they were friends with the President. Meanwhile, many fans didn’t also know then why actor Dick York stopped appearing on the show. The popular actor suffered a severe back injury while filming a movie and after he went to the hospital, no amount of health insurance would ever allow him to return to the set of Bewitched again.

Another interesting fact about The Andy Griffith Show is that no one knew the exact middle name of the Barney Fife character. In some episodes, it was Oliver and in some, Milton.

Bonanza - Michael London, Or Is It?

American writer, producer, and actor Michael Landon was born in 1936 as Eugene Maurice Orowitz. The Bonanza star found a very unusual way on how to change his name to make it more memorable, once he started earning money as an actor. He chose the stage name by going through a phone book. Yes, you read it right! He first wanted the name Michael Lane but there was already an artist with that name and that was when he came across the name Alf London and turned it into Michael London. Dan Blocker was also the star of The Bonanza series and while the actor had an amazing career ahead, he suddenly died at the age of 43 because of a pulmonary embolism.

Laverne & Shirley - Not Suitable For Children

American film director Garry Marshall created two shows during the ‘70s, Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days. He was known for bringing his children to work but he never let them watch Laverne & Shirley being filmed, only Happy Days. The reason? At the time, the Laverne & Shirley actors didn’t have the best relationship and they used a language not suitable for children. The biggest disagreement was between writers of the show and the actors so we can understand why Marshall never let his kids see and hear that. Laverne & Shirley aired from 1976 until 1983 with a total of eight seasons.

Hollywood A-lister Will Smith is one of the most notable names in the film industry whose roles over the years have brought him a net worth of $250 million. We all remember Smith’s beginnings and his role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which made us laugh for six years. However, maybe the most heartbreaking moment in the sitcom was in the episode Papa’s Got A Brand New Excuse, when the character’s father comes back and abandons young Smith again. According to writers, Smith was supposed to get over it in a second but the actor relived his real-life story as he was abandoned by his father.

The Brady Bunch was one of the most popular shows when it began airing in 1969. When the creators were conducting auditions and deciding on who would be their lead characters, famous American actor Gene Hackman almost got the part. However, Robert Reed was the one who beat him and got the lead part as he was more popular and successful at the time they started filming the sitcom. On the other hand, Gene Hackman would go on and have a very prosperous acting career, earning two Academy Awards and fattening up his bank account, while Reed was probably best known for his part as Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch. Robert Reed died in 1992 at the age of 59.

Cheers - Too Many “Cheers” For Danson

When American television sitcom Cheers that was aired for more than ten years (1982 until 1993) came to an end, many fans around the world were surprised. One of the main players, Ted Danson, decided not to return after the 1992 season was over. The producers wanted for actor Woody Harrelson to take his place but Harrelson wasn’t interested and also announced he was leaving the show, at the same time as Danson. That was how Cheers came to an end in May 1993. While celebrating the season finale, the cast got so drunk that they weren’t able to properly face their fans on The Tonight Show. We couldn’t even begin to imagine how big the earnings were for the crew since they could throw such an expensive party!

Family Ties - Almost Got Fired

Michael J. Fox has had a very successful acting career, earning him a net worth of $65 million. However, things didn't start out easy. When the show Family Ties began filming, the former president of NBC, Brandon Tartikoff, wanted for the sitcom to be aired on his network for as long as J. Fox was fired. According to him, the young actor didn’t have a face for a lunchbox and because of that, he wasn’t suitable for the sitcom. As Fox’s career progressed immensely and he became a hit in the movies, he made Tarikoff a lunchbox with his face on it and a note. Brandon kept the lunchbox on his desk until he passed away. Meanwhile, Fox and his wife are still active in strengthening their foundation to help find a cure for Parkinsons' disease - a condition Fox has been battling for the longest time.

Emmy Award winner Loretta Jane Swit portrayed the character of Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on the popular TV series, M*A*S*H, that was shown from 1972 to 1983. M*A*S*H went on for eleven years and during that period, many cast members changed. Only four actors stayed from the beginning until the end, including the popular actress, Swit. She and Alan Alda were the only members who appeared in the pilot episode as well as in the final one. Working as a part of the cast for so many years, it is only natural to make friends for life and so did the actress with artist Harry Morgan as well as Alan Alda and his family. Great friends, huge earnings in the bank - what more could people ask for?

Happy Days - Anything But The Military

Happy Days is the television show created by Garry Marshall and it had a total of eleven seasons, running from 1974 until 1984. The famous American filmmaker and actor, Ron Howard, was the lead character of the sitcom and even though he did an amazing job, many of his fans don’t seem to be aware why Howard accepted this part. Howard was supposed to be drafted to go to Vietnam during the war but then he didn't like the idea. He rather chose to join the cast of the show to legally avoid serving the military, and then employ a certain number of people in the United States. That was some business plan that worked out pretty well!

Family Matters - Two Boys, One Character

Family Matters made us laugh for nine full years before it ended in 1998. Just as Full House did with the Olsen twins, the Family Matters producers hired twins to play the role of baby Richie but wanted to keep it a secret from the audience. Instead of calling boys Joseph and Julius Wright, they were called Joseph Julius Wright to make it seem like it was one person and they were credited as a single individual. Even though the truth came to light in later years, we believe that the Wright twins didn’t mind being one person as long as their talents kept increasing their earnings. In the second season of the show, American actor Bryton James played baby Richie.

His role as B.A. Baracus brought the actor huge popularity and a net worth of $1.5 million. His trademark phrase on the show is “I pity the fool” but little do his fans know that he never actually used this phrase in the series. It was born in the movie, Rocky III, where he also appeared as Clubber Lang. In fact, not once in The A-Team series did the actor use this sentence but he rather called people “suckers."

When it comes to actors performing what's expected of them, many of them have their specific demands that actually help them be the best version of themselves when contributing to the project the only way they know how. However, in the series The Dukes of Hazzard, the cast had some pretty strange demands. First of all, the lead characters, actors Tom Wopat and John Schneider left the show in 1982, wanting more money from the revenue the show was earning. On the other hand, actor James Best refused to shot a few episodes because he didn’t have his own dressing room and then Ben Jones left the series briefly because he wanted his character to have a beard and creators wanted him clean-shaved.

ALF - It’s ALF’s Fault

ALF was the cute extraterrestrial who entertained us, together with the family Tanner, for four years. However, according to some sources, it was ALF who actually made many awkward situations on the set of the sitcom. As technology then wasn't as progressive as it is today, there were many technical difficulties, which created a lot of tension and frustration among the actors. Reportedly, what was supposed to be an episode of about 30 minutes would actually go on for over 25 hours on the set, as the cast had problems getting it right - filming for so long periods of time. We also have to mention the implication of the long filming hours on the business finance side, too. The voice of ALF was provided by American character actor, Paul Fusco.

As his popularity rose, so did the actor’s bank account. However, it wasn’t all that great for Cameron during his time on the show. He converted to Christianity and no one would have a problem if the famous actor didn’t begin making comments on the topics of the episodes. He wanted everything inappropriate to be removed, which led to the tension between him and the rest of the cast. He later stated that he was sorry about how he handled the situation and would do it differently if he had a chance.

Home Improvement - It Wasn’t Meant To Be

When sitcom Home Improvement began airing in 1991, it didn’t take too long to become the most popular show in the United States. At the time, the President of the United States was Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton was the First Lady. According to a note from 1995, the press secretary of Hillary Clinton reached out to the creators of the popular show with an idea of having the First Lady appear on the sitcom. Even producers agreed on letting Clinton choose the topic of the episode in which she would be a guest star but somehow it never came to that. It probably just wasn’t meant to be. We can’t help but wonder how much money Clinton could've been paid had she appeared in the sitcom or perhaps she would have done it for free.

American comedian Bob Denver was probably best known for his role as Gilligan on Gilligan’s Island.

Stuck in the hut, Denver was supposed to keep the lion out, when he noticed that the animal was in the same room with him. When such lion lunged, the first thought that came to the popular actor’s mind was that he needed to do something "funny" and so he did “karate chop” on the lion. Luckily, all ended well and the animal didn’t hurt anybody on the set. Bob Denver died in 2005 of (non-lion-related) pneumonia.
