9. Mr. Alan Smithee

The pilot of MacGyver was directed by one Alan Smithee. Of course, industry insiders know that the Smithee surname is one used by directors who want to disown their work. The pilot, in fact, was considered so awful that one of the show’s producers, John Rich, had to edit about 30 minutes out of it to make it work. Due to this meddling, the episode’s director had his name removed and the Alan Smithee name put in his place.
