There's been a whole string of orders in the last year or so from the ministry that governs TV content - mostly towards popular regional channels like Hunan TV and Jiangsu TV that have pushed the envelope in 'creative' programming. The ones off the top of my head is the time travel thing, and all the dating shows like If You Are The One (非诚勿扰) and talent-type shows (Super Girl 超级女声)have either been 'harmonized' or cancelled.
Much to my surprise (and consternation), I actually found some of it entertaining.
