* ''[[http://learnourhistory.com/ Time Travel Academy]]'' (aka ''Learn Our History''), a series of educational CGI cartoons produced by Mike Huckabee to educate kids on the "history that schools are afraid to tell". Let's put it this way — you know you've got a real stinker on your hands when you can't even make the ''trailers'' look good. Its flaws include amateurish CGI work (It looks like it was done half-heartedly on Daz Studio and [[CelShading cel-shaded]] to cover up the fact), [[FlatCharacter Cardboard cut-out characters]], coupled with wooden dialogue and completely phoned in voice acting, moments of CriticalResearchFailure (i.e., the scene in the WorldWarII trailer where a modern-day black girl appears, praising Rosie the Riveter, inexcusably ignorant of the rampant racism that went on during the time), not to mention its shameless abuse of HollywoodHistory, featuring a woefully dishonest [[TheThemeParkVersion Theme Park version]] of the 1970s-80s, blatant plagiarism: early copies of one episode had a character wearing a helmet from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' (fortunately for them, this was [[AuthorsSavingThrow removed from later copies]]; and to top it all off, a political BiasSteamroller, despite the show's claim to "teach history without bias".

Let's put it this way — you know you've got a real stinker on your hands when you can't even make the ''trailers'' look good. Among its flaws:
** Amateurish CGI work. It looks like it was done half-heartedly on Daz Studio and [[CelShading cel-shaded]] to cover up the fact.
** [[FlatCharacter Cardboard cut-out characters]], only backed up by the embarrassingly-wooden dialogue and passionless, pedestrian acting.
** Moments of CriticalResearchFailure (i.e., the scene in the WorldWarII trailer where the modern-day black girl appears, praising Rosie the Riveter, inexcusably ignorant of the rampant racism that went on during the time), not to mention its shameless abuse of HollywoodHistory, featuring a woefully dishonest [[TheThemeParkVersion Theme Park version]] of the 1970s-80s.
** Blatant plagiarism: a character wearing a helmet from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' appears [[AnachronismStew in the 1970s]]. Fortunately for them, this was [[AuthorsSavingThrow later removed from future trailers]].
** And to top it all off, a political BiasSteamroller, despite the show's claim to "teach history without bias".

* ''WesternAnimation/AllenGregory'', a short-lived Creator/{{FOX}} animated series co-created by and starring [[{{Superbad}} Jonah Hill]] as the voice of the titular character AllenGregory De Longpre, a nerdy, pretentious seven-year-old who's forced to attend elementary school in the face of the recession when his gay parents' finances are hit hard, principally those of his CEO father Richard. Allen has a very warped view of the world and can't socialize with kids of age. What makes the series so bad, you ask? Dull and unfunny jokes (almost ''all'' of them DudeNotFunny), bland animation ([[UncannyValley with downright-HIDEOUS character designs]]), some of the most off puttinh homophobia in all of television, and unlikable characters who are either a whiny ButtMonkey, a complete JerkAss, or both. The JerkAss characters from other FOX shows are at least [[ComedicSociopathy funny with]] [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist their asshole-ism]] most of the time. Plus, the ongoing subplot involving Allen's crush on his principal ''[[{{Squick}} who's in her 70s.]]'' The pilot received mostly negative reviews, and the show was canned after only 7 episodes in late 2011.

* Creator/TexAvery is one of the greatest names in animation history, practically inventing the modern idea of what a cartoon is. But in 1997, 17 years after his death, a show called ''TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'' came to redefine InNameOnly. This "{{homage}}" to Avery's work starred a cowboy named Tex Avery, allowing them to get away with the name, and featured an ensemble cast of "original" cartoon characters done "in the style of" Avery's works. The animation stunk, the characters were all ripoffs of better [[Creator/WarnerBros WB]] or [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]] properties, and close to none of the jokes were actually funny. The real Avery's doing {{Wild Take}}s in his grave — in fact, according to animator Andrew Gothicson, everyone who worked on the show (including himself) hated working on it. See [[PlatypusComix Peter Paltridge]]'s review for Toon Zone [[http://www.toonzone.net/2011/02/tex-avery-the-wacky-world-of/ here.]]. Lesson learned: Executive meddling will only get you so far as the nostalgia filter is the ONLY thing this show had going for it.
