Basically, stuff that aged badly, but you find that you still like it anyway. Three things come in mind to me:
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2:
SA1 is pretty glitchy, the voice acting is suspect, Big's fishing stages are boring, and somehow I still can have fun playing the game despite the glitchiness. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I still like it somewhat.
SA2 aged a bit better that SA1 by being much more polished, but the treasure hunting stages can be frustrating at times. The Sonic stages are a blast to play and the Eggman stages can be pretty fun, too. It's no Super Mario Galaxy or Jak & Daxter but I'd at least take it over Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and Super Mario Sunshine.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987:
It's watered down compared to the original black & white comics, the plots can be formulaic and cliche, and things get a bit too cartoony and kiddy, but I can still find the show entertaining. There are some pretty funny moments, and some of the dialogue can get pretty witty at times. Plus it has quite possibly the best animated version of Casey Jones. Other TMNT animated series have surpassed it in storytelling and action, but I still find this show enjoyable in its own right(admittedly, though, I've mostly watched the first 3 seasons, a few episodes of season 4 & 5, and some of season 7).

-Classic Doctor Who, and a lot of the current stuff -Marvel cartoons, X-Men's just so darned quotable ("it appears to be the ace of spades" and "THE WILD MAN OF BORNIO" anyone?). People always talk about how Spider-Man aged but I think it did remarkably well despite it's limitations. Matt Frewer and Mark Hamil are also a hoot as The Leader and Gargoyle in the Hulk cartoon. -Stargate SG-1. The show is carried by the fact the actors and writers took it less seriously more and more each year.

I'll second the Turtles and Marvel Cartoons.... and most of the 80's cartoons for that matter.

The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is cheesy, ridiculous, formulaic, and has horrible production value but I still love it as much as I did as a kid.

The Original Resident Evil - It has aged horribly, the Voice acting was never good to begin with but sounds even worse now, and yet somehow it still has a charm to it, The Terrible acting is also so bad that it's good.
Yes the remake is superior, but I will always have a soft spot for the original.

Transformers: The Animated Movie The Wizard
Every time I watch them, I am reminded of two things: 1. How absolutely horrible they are. 2. How I absolutely do not care about that fact.

Just about any depiction of gangs from the 70's and 80's. Even back then, real street gangs didn't go around dressed like that.

TF:TM was very good for an '80s franchise film...or were the Bayformers so bad it looks good by comparison?
For me I'd add : He-Man, Superfriends, and a lot of '80s sitcoms. Things one can argue were always bad but I had a soft spot for include Superman IV and Supergirl (1984).
The Raccoons are an interesting case...I'd lean towards the specials (which had such memorable moments like a heroine saying something was "bigger than chocolate pudding") aging badly and being particularly corny, while the series, which had hammy and narm moments, actually developed characters well.
Did we get any wrestling examples yet? I would look squarely at the mid-late '90s myself (ECW and Attitude Era WWF). They were so cool at the time and I'd still watch it today, but I can now see that the styles have not really held up...especially when I remembered how wrestling before that worked, and why.
'80s slasher movies...especially Freddy once he went all-out comedian. (interestingly enough, the Paramount Friday the 13ths hold up a bit better as a whole...Halloween got convoluted but I'll still watch it up to the Thorn Cult storyline)

Can't Stop The Music was badly aged by at least two years when it first premiered.
The production choices are weird, the song sequences come out of nowhere, Caitlyn Jenner can't act worth a damn, and there's literally no plot, events just randomly happen until the Village People's big show.
And regardless, it. Is. AWESOME.

80s action-adventure films. I dont just mean the well-respected stuff like Die Hard or First Blood, but im talking about the cheesier stuff like Iron Eagle, Missing in Action, Delta Force, Invasion USA, the Death Wish sequels, etc. Goofy and over the top yes, but that was pretty much the point. Great films to kick back and enjoy during a weekend afternoon.

Captain Planet may be silly nowadays thanks to accurate environmental info being widely available on the Internet, but the colorful villains are still fun to watch and I still love the Cap's ridiculous puns. Not to mention Wheeler was a decent character Also, the show itself got way better in the final two seasons.

Blackstar-AKA the cartoon Filmation ripped off for Masters of the Universe. Loved it as a kid. Got the DVD set the day it came out. And it is bad. But I still watch an episode here and there.
