Okay, I just read the bye-bye to Andromeda/Mutant X thread. Both shows suck, they always did -- la la la. (okay, there was some halfway decent Andromeda ....)
So, I began to think about other bad Sci Fi. There was a show on about 12 years ago on network I think, that was so bad I couldn't believe my husband would watch it. I can't recall the name. It might have been a contemporary of Earth 2 (which many people thought was quite bad, but I liked it well enough).
Anyway, name me some bad Sci Fi. Some real le se.

A movie called "Day of the Triffids"--walking corn stalks that were eventually defeated by, I think, spraying sea water on 'em.

Worst sci-fi I've ever seen, movie-wise? The adaptation of Asimov's "Nightfall". Even though the story itself is widely regarded as a high point in Asimov's prolific career, and despite the fact that it stars Gabriel Byrne (one of my favorite actors) the movie was HORRIBLE!!!!!! They changed the story so much it was almost unrecognizable, and the actors seem to have been given the scripts and told "OK, take one...ACTION!". No energy or dynamics between the characters, and the most INSIPID dialogue I've heard outside of some low-budget Joe Don Baker movies.

Earth: Final Conflict's fifth season. The first season was great, and seasons 2-4 were passable, but season 5 can only be called bad.
Aside from MX and Drom, I can't say any of the other shows I've watched have come off downright bad. Some, like the original BSG or Buck Rodgers, are cheesy, but that's not the same as bad.
ENT is kinda middlin', but at least its trying, which counts for something.
Stargate isn't as good as it once was, but its still worth watching.

Mutant X, Charmed,Psi Factor, Andromeda had its moments. I don't mean to beat up a classic, but Logan's Run...it sucked.

I LIKED "Day of the Triffids" !!!
Cheesy, silly - but if they remade it - might be better.

No one has mentioned the theatrical release of Dune staring Kyle Mc...something. I do not mean the cable
release, but the other one.
They changed the story so much it was unrecognizable. I'm glad it bombed. the director/producer should never get another nickle to waste film ever again in life.
