WIZARDS AND WARRIORS doesn't belong on the list. As the writer admits, it was fantasy-adventure, not science fiction. Also, I remember the series as being pretty sharp in its humor, with the villains being especially amusing. And it wisely gave a recurring role to the classic character actor Ian Wolfe. Randi Brooks as the very sexy, evil witch wasn't a bad casting choice either!
Misfits of Science was clever and witty; perhaps the author misunderstood its tongue-in-cheek approach. Several of the others are solidly crafted action shows that successfully incorporate science fiction elements. But The Powers of Matthew Star was indeed quite bad.

Long after the Eighties, Bennu was our code wordd for very bad television.
I don't think I had even been aware of any of these...but, then, I don't much do television...

I kind of liked that one, too, Gary.
