Choose Your Own Nostalgia
So I've been watching Girl Meets World, which is basically a sequel series to Boy Meets World. It veers a little close for comfort at first towards being a "next gen fanfic" (where everyone's basically a xerox copy of their parents), but fortunately it avoids it, and even Maya, who is a bit of a Shawn expy, is very much her own person. I'm not watching the show faithfully, just a few episodes I've heard were good, but it's fun nonetheless.
Here's my question, though - what series did you grow up with do you think could have a plausible continuation, either a "next gen" thing or even the characters as being older? OR, what other series have done this that you enjoy? Spiritual successors don't really count, unless you want to argue that they could very well be in the same universe (that would be interesting, so let's hear it).

Were you into Girl Meets World from the first episode? That's all I've seen and didn't love it, but keep wondering if I should've given it more time to find its feet.

I would love to see anything in the Firefly universe - you could have life on a planet, either fringe or Alliance core.

Storyline: A young girl's mom dies and the mom's will appoints her two ex-boyfriends as the girl's guardian as the mom never knew which of them was the father. The two ex-boyfriends had been friends but argued over the girlfriend and never spoke again until (surprise!) they discovered they had to be guardians together to a teenage girl.
