Especially if it was something with lots of special effects...

I used to love Space 1999 but when I recently caught part of an
episode it looked so cheap & tacky. Never re-visit your favourite
childhood TV shows!

I still love Doctor Who. Lots of cheesy effects back then and the fans
loved it anyway. If I want fancy special effects, I watch a SIGGRAPH demo.

Taken from my quotes file:

"I've often said that the difference between British and American SF TV
series is that the British ones have three-dimensional characters and
cardboard spaceships, while the Americans do it the other way around."
