WARNING: Moebius spoilers. Sort of.
The Irrepressible Mr. Anderson 
[Rick is trying out ridiculous pie-like hat. Everyone is laughing at him.]
Peter DeLuise: We've gotta give you a better... No, it's making me laugh, Rick. Come on.
RDA: [Unwilling to relinquish the hat] Well, then it's working.
PDL: See, everyone else looks cool. You wanna be the only one who doesn't look cool?
RDA: YES! [Much handwaving] Don't you get it?! I've built a career on that!
PDL: If we go for funny, it should look more funny.
RDA: What is the option so we can appease Mr. DeLuise's conservative approach to filmmaking? [Tries on hat that resembles a pile of fat noodles.] How's that?
PDL: No, it's too funny.
RDA: What? God! It works. Let me see. [Looks in mirror, adjusts hat.] There, it's good. It's not a flattop.
[Turns head abruptly to make hat strings swing. Everyone laughs.]
RDA [Slightly contrite] I'll make it work. I won't make it funny.
PDL: [Dubiously] You're just gonna act not-funny?
RDA: [Unconvincingly] Yes.
RDA: [Looks at camera as he's given new hat.] Are you chronicling how difficult we are?
[Someone puts weird kind of tight dishrag on his head. Everyone laughs.]
[Yet another new hat. This one seems to be the one they finally went with.]
PDL: This is gonna look good.
RDA: [Tones of gloom] It'll look boring.
PDL: Boring, but not funny. [Rick has managed to put the hat on over his eyes. PDL corrects hat so it sits normally.] Good. Better. Much better. Okay. Now we shoot.
RDA: It must be dull.
PDL: [Trying to tempt Rick with the shiny?] Lawrence of Arabia.
RDA: [Tucks hat behind his ears. Quiet satisfaction.] That's the look I was going for.

Programme schedulers, though, I've heard many a rant about - and ranted about myself a time or two. They're wonderfully effective at killing what should be popular shows stone ded.
They're threatening to postpone Doctor Who because of football, this weekend. *growls* Apparently they don't feel obligated towards the percentage of people that doesn't like goddamn football.
*end rant*
Totally the ones I was going to cite. *g*
They buggered about with Monty Python a lot, too, apparently - I know this because my partner is a big fan, and has pointed out various sketches where they talk about the intelligence (or lack thereof) of BBC Programme Schedulers. None of which I can remember, of course.
