  1. Ok, you have a Sarah Michelle Gellar show at #2… and it isn’t Buffy?? Seriously, it’s my favorite show, but the effects in the first few seasons were ridiculous! And Terra Nova had great effects. It certainly doesn’t belong on this list when other shows were much worse.

  2. While I love Merlin and Once Upon a Time, they’ve got to be on the list…part of their charm, though.

  4. Ok 2 points. First 1 the librarian movies had cheesy effects also you expect the show yo be any better. And 2 that episode of TNG CAME OUT IN 1987 so the first will have bad effects the show got better as it progressed

  5. Obviously, you’ve never seen the 60’s soap opera DARK SHADOWS. Even as a teenager, I could spot the cheesy SFX a mile away. And it wasn’t a one-time occurrence, but it was used for years. That’s one of the things I liked about it, how bad the effects were. From a rubber bat hanging from a pole, to the way that the people would slip on a piece of grass-looking carpet when running through a forest, to the way a microphone boom would be seen in some shots, that’s what I remember of it decades after it aired.

  9. The type of werewolves in the Teen Wolf TV-Show is the wolfman type and that made me upset cuz I was expecting them to transform to a full on werewolf beast but nope they instead turned into the lame wolfman transformation style.
