This post is by some interesting being who posted on the Space: The Imagination Station’s (Canada scifi channel) forum. These are ‘rules’ for Lexx:

Does anyone know the rules of lexx? Here they are:There shall be no rubber-faced aliens.
All creatures possess a sense of humor.
There is no Prime Directive.
There are no life forms more intelligent than humans, unless and until such a life form does the requisite script writing.
All planets worth landing-on have human (or reasonably close) life forms.
All humans (or reasonable facsimiles) speak the same language.
Humans must physically travel to other locations. There shall be no time travel because it has been done before, and done before, and done before, and done before…
Technology will rarely work as advertised.
No one shall ever defeat an enemy because they are good shots and the enemy are bad shots.
Stanley Tweedle shall never lose his hat

Indeed they do, they go back to at least 1995/1996 when LEXX was being developed and shot. Originally, the mandate was to avoid all that was obnoxious in Star Trek. The rules circulated informally, until some wag typed them up as the “rules of the Supreme Beangs of the Universe.” Yes, it was misspelled Beangs instead of Beings. This
eventually got shortened to them being or becomeing the Supreme Beans, or ‘Beans’ for short.There was, by the way, a second set of rules drafted by Production designer Mark Laing which you’ll occasionally see floating around as well.
For the record, at some point or another, the Beans have made a point of breaking every single one of their rules.
