A lot of the classic episodic TV shows. The Incredible Hulk, Magnum P.I. and The Six Million Dollar Man come to mind. When it wanted to, Hulk had better episodes than 90% of most Marvel movies I've seen 90% of The Incredible Hulk episodes at least once and maybe 9% of the Marvel movies. I'd rather a bad ep of Hulk (Disco Hulk, I'm looking at you) any day.

Dinosaurs. Funny sitcom when it wanted to be, generally good characters (although some were very one-dimensional and Earl was generally too stupid to be likable), very well-designed puppets and sets.
But man, the episodes were so damn heavy-handed with their agendas it was borderline gag-inducing at times.

Golden Girls has aged badly, although it was well ahead of it's time. Whaddya mean, Betty White is STILL hot!

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) How did I forget... MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR? ? I know now that it was far from being the '70s versions of either show, and Bowzer as Peter Marshall's heir is a headscratcher. But I loved watching it when I got home from school, and enjoy whatever copies of episodes appear on YouTube. Good point about the Hulk...it was what it was. But as I lynched Lois and Clark, and the Hammond Spider-Man for not having any super villains, I'd have to say the same about TIH.

To be fair, there was the creature in "The First" and the Kingpin in "Trial of the Incredible Hulk".

GI Joe and Transformers would be the easy answer. Those shows don't really hold up at all, but I still love em.
Musicwise, MxPx, New Found Glory, Cradle of Filth, Linkin Park, Fear Factory, Powerman 5000, Static-X, Bad Religion, GWAR, Napalm Death, Mushroomhead, Hed p.e., Pressure 4-5.

Potsworth and Co. Basically Scooby Doo meets Nightmare on Elm Street, only very watered down. Would make an awesome reboot.

His wife. He-man and some of those are damn near unwatchable; but will still love what they meant to me.

This won't count as I barely remembered it before seeing it on DVD, but the Filmation New Adventures of Batman. I guess since it was kept in obscurity since its original runs, I kinda built this legend around it. Then I got the DVD, and it was more pacifistic than Superfriends! Adam West was in fine voice, as he would be when he later voiced Batman on SF, but Burt Ward was barely trying. And BAT-MITE. FRIGGIN' BAT-MITE. Give me Orko and Scrappy any day of the week. At least they were somewhat likeable and Orko had solid stories based around him, actually. Bat-Mite is a 10+ on the Droppo scale for bumblers too annoying to like.
