* A few episodes of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' fell into this trope; it was all the more noticeable because the show rarely used special effects in the first place.
** In "One for the Money," the women reminisce about competing in a charity dance marathon, where they ended up doing solos in an attempt to one-up each other. When Rose steps forward, she ends up doing cartwheels and splits--and it's painfully obvious that it's a StuntDouble for Creator/BettyWhite. For one thing, the camera abruptly pulls back when the acrobatics begin (which is particularly damning because it zoomed ''in'' on earlier shots of the actresses to show that they were doing their own dancing) , and while the choreography makes an admirable attempt at hiding the double's face, the few glimpses we do see make it clear that it's a much younger and taller woman than White herself. Particularly egregious is the fact that the actress's wig is the wrong color, which becomes glaringly obvious when the camera cuts to a close-up of Rose at the end of the routine.
** In "Room 7," the girls visit Blanche's grandmother's plantation, and Sophia (who had a near-death experience earlier) decides to "live for the day" by jumping off the roof into a haystack. The "jump" is accomplished by what is clearly a dummy dressed in Estelle Getty's costume being hurled from the top of the soundstage (the fact that it doesn't move at all on the way down is the first clue).

*** ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' has a similar occurrence of this, where the four Riders' costumes come in two distinct versions: the suit used for detail shots has a full vinyl bodysuit, while the "stunt suit" has fabric for the torso. While it's mostly covered up by the Riders' chest armor, it's still noticeable.

*** ** Also in the original series, a great deal of model effects are used. This looks bad enough when using it to blow up buildings, but the show contains quite a lot of shots of the Kamen Riders falling down/off cliffs, clearly being played by ragdolls that don't exactly scream "human." Even worse, Episode 72 features Kamen Rider Nigou swimming into an underwater base. We then see him in a room that is drained of water. Except it's not him, it's a model of him in a really weird pose. Unlike most model shots, this one isn't seen from a distance. It's presented at full scale, as though we're supposed to just be looking at the regular suit.

** Series 7 was intended to use model shots for almost all visual effects, but a scheduling foul-up (the vis-effects team were only given a limited time for shooting, in a studio half the usual size, before all the scripts had even been written) meant that they had to fill in the missing effects with CGI.

[[UncannyValley This creates the effect that Holly is aging ten ten years and back between shots.]]
*** The UncannyValley aspect is heightened by the fact that the new Holly footage has him in a blue-tinted greyscale and partly disappearing into shadow, while the unchanged footage has him in colour and his face fully visible. It's telling that Hattie Hayridge wasn't brought in to rerecord Holly's lines for Series III.

** Partly due to the decision to make Holly a face on a screen being made mid-filming of Series I, the pixellation effect on his face is different from episode to episode, and in close-ups his black background randomly turns blue.
