* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Some of the actors actually do pull in decent performances for their roles. For example, ''Caved In: Prehistoric Terror'' has Creator/ChelanSimmons as a star, and she pulls in a decent performance as a surprisingly likeable and entertaining case of BrattyTeenageDaughter who actually becomes helpful. So does Angela Featherstone who plays the ActionMom of the film.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Once in a VERY long while, there will be a creature effect that actually looks presentable by made-for-tv standards. The wyvern CGI model and Frankenfish prop are examples of such. Some of the practical puppets used for the beetles in ''Caved In: Prehistoric Terror'' don't look too bad either.

Has nothing to do with familiarity with in-universe fiction.

* SoOkayItsAverage: On a really, ''really'' good day they can achieve this. But considering that being really bad is part of their charm, this usually [[Administrivia/TropesAreNotGood isn't a good thing]].
* SpecialEffectsFailure: It's gotten much worse over the years. Eventually the creators will start hiring people right out of high school to do the CGI. If they haven't already. The practical effects they also use are [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools not much better]], if not outright worse, than the CGI.
