Ace and Leo were both kids shows. Ultra (except for Nexus) has always been a kid's show.

In fact, Taro was light bc Tsuburaya Pro. felt that Ace was a bit on the violent side.

Leo's dark tone was to get older viewers back, but there are some REALLY goofy episodes in the show. For instance, The Adventure Nut Arrives!

I'd also say that being there only for the cheese isn't the right mindset depending on what you watch. For ultra, sure, for late showa godzilla, sure, but....

The original Gojira is quite a terrifying film, and not because of the monster. Westerners, particularly Americans, tend to approach that film with the view of "Oh let's get some cheese lol."

Godzilla is a metaphor for the a-bomb. The tremendous power that wiped out incredible numbers of innocent people. For me, this makes Gojira truly horrifying, because that is the monster unleashed by us.

What I'm saying is that, while it's OK to laugh at cheesy episodes, the original intentions of the creators should be taken into mind as well.
