Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I don't know that green body paint and hair dye would cost all that much for Gar
I've yet to see green body paint and hair dye (I would assume wigs) that don't look like ass, and I'm wholeheartedly including the Hulk here. Star Trek was pretty much the last show to have regulars sitting around in full makeup, weren't they? What were their costs like, I wonder.
Farscape?
Sorry--I failed to transcribe my rich inner life--I meant on the main networks. Where did TNG air? It was cancelled before I came to the US, and I do remember that it ended pre-UPN.
TNG and DS9 were syndicated.
Cyborg and Gar right off the bat.
Starfire, too. Though I suppose gold skin and green all-eye contacts wouldn't be too tough.
And there's also the Superboy angle. People (and execs) would wonder why have two show's featuring him (counting Smallville), not realizing they're different characters.
ETA: I'd imagine the make-up for Cyborg would be really, really, really hard to do right. Which is probably part of the reason Smallville chumped out on it, I suppose.

Go back to TT of old, and he's no longer an issue.
Forgot Starfire. Her hair would have to be a disappointment.

Right, but we've already seen that in the cartoon. Which is why I was angling for the pre-IC lineup.
Speaking of live-action superheros, the local Six Flags park is apparently featuring the Justice League as part of their nightly parade now (they've featured Batman since the original movie. It was kind of a surprise when I worked then when I ran into the Batmobile parked in backlot the first time.) I only saw them for a few seconds in a commerical, but wow, talk about crappy-looking costuming. I can only imagine they'd look worse IRL.
I wish Birds of Prey had been done right. So much potential.
Tell me about it. Sigh.
I don't read TT (since I haven't succumbed to the siren's comics call yet), but I love the animated show so much I would be very prejudiced against a live action version.

For values of we that don't include me, since I've never seen more than runs over into my recording of JLU. I have no idea how much of "classic" TT the comic mined, but there are a few pre-Superboy teams, and one post, though he's still quite present.
