In practice, this has ruined more series then its saved. Spyro, anyone?
Personally I'd say Crash. Spyro actually had a moderately successful reboot series, while Crash got completely shafted.
That's when I first began to hate this practice. If the original team involved with a game or series wants nothing to do with continuing it, then maybe you shouldn't frakkin' continue it!
