Especially given the vengeful and unforgiving reputation of the original author :-)

But you know (committing a little heresy here) that Joss didn’t actually WRITE most of the scripts for his shows, right?
No, but one thing I don't think he gets enough credit for is what all great showrunners do -- they may have the initial vision, but a great idea doesn't mean much in an intensely collaborative medium like television if you don't have the ability to attract, enthuse and retain a lot of very talented people. I think it was Jane Espenson who paid Whedon (and Ron Moore and Russell T. Davies) the lovely compliment of saying she's worked with people who'd build these worlds she could play in, and discover her own voice and point of view.

like anything else, there are exceptions that prove the rule.
My personal favourite would be the entire 'Flashman' series - take the villain from 'Tom Brown's Schooldays' and spin him out into his own hugely sucessful, original, and painstakingly historically accurate series.
