Perhaps...Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I didn't really necessarily take issue with the cast per se, I had issue with all the time travel and Terminator-of-the-week stories. So, I guess basically, if I were doing a series like that, I wouldn't use so much time travel, excess terminators (without a good reason anyway) and the whole ordeal of everyone being from an alternate timeline. That got confusing, really fast.
Star Trek: Enterprise Likely, I'd have the show not so much as about exploration, as about the diplomacy and setting up the future franchises. Looking back, the first few seasons at least, should have been a little bit more toward "The Andorian Incident" and season 4. I mean, the show was good to me otherwise, but perhaps in this approch, there really would have been something "new" to the franchise. Probably would have kept the tensions between the local powers, and the story arc of the Vulcans going through a reformation (I know people had issues with this, but I find it hard to believe that any species could stay the exact same for several centuries, but whatever).
Smallville It's probably a cliche to mention this by now, but I would likely have tried to look ahead a little bit and plan out the earlier episodes to potential future (to make things tie in a little bit better), also, Clark's powers wouldn't have all been but developed by the end of season two, to make the whole "no flying" thing make a bit more sense.
Sliders I likely would keep it a bit more toward what the first season was doing, but if there was to be an arc at all, instead of an episodic series, some of the ground work would have been in place earlier in the series and probably not with mutated ape looking shape shifting aliens (that are really some sort of Human subspecies or whatever). Maybe something better would be some sort of viral spread or otherwise that's somewhat the Slider's fault it's spreading, so they have to somehow circulate through the worlds, get a cure and go back to the infected worlds to deliver it.
I think...that's about it, at least for now, and not that there was really anything wrong with the originals per se, just that maybe a different approach for some of it, might cause a better reception of the series in a larger audience.
