The case for each
Doctor Who: The BBC's 2005 revival of its 1963 science fiction series: a time-travelling alien, the Doctor, crosses time and space in the TARDIS, a police box bigger on the inside. Regeneration lets a new actor take the role.
Star Trek: Gene Roddenberry's 1966-1969 original series: Captain Kirk, Spock and McCoy on the starship Enterprise, 'to boldly go'. Cancelled after three seasons, then reborn through reruns into films and many series.
