Two removed shows include "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Good Wife", which both have many fans all over China. Other removed shows are "Naval Criminal Investigative Service" and "The Practice."
"Game of Thrones" (Chinese dubbed version) has aired on occasion when other popular shows were removed from the sites that raised questions with Internet users. One user named Aegean appealed, "Please return the American TV shows to the people."
"Game of Thrones" was planned to shoot seven seasons and each one has ten episodes. The first three seasons aired on CCTV's Premium Channel in 2012.

No specific reason was given for the order from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, said public relations managers at Youku and Tencent Video.
Popular shows that were removed included The Good Wife, NCIS and The Practice. Sohu also removed The Big Bang Theory, a show it had exclusively licensed.
