(I'm going to use character types instead of character names.)
The Older Cop -- Rokk Krinn, 5YL version The Younger Cop -- Jacques Foccart: Jesse L. Martin with a white streak in the hair! The Lieutenant -- Jazmin Cullen, reboot leader version (It would make an interesting dyamic if she were Rokk's ex.)
The Assistant D.A. -- Brainiac 5, who ably prosecuted Star Boy. The D.A.'s Assistant -- Ayla Ranzz: If Elizabeth Rohm's character was gay, then it fits. The D.A. -- R.J. Brande: old, rarely seen until the end, and makes pithy comments, by damn!
Next three choices:
Star Trek: The Next Generation House Grey's Anatomy

quote:Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.: Mrs. C: Triplicate Girl - TG seems to be the most domestic of all the Girl Legionnaires
Mr. C: Marla Latham - Older advisor but really not that involved in the story
Luornu married to Marla? Eewww!

Capt. Picard: Brainiac 5 - more of a thinker than a fighter, can be aloof and not good around children.
Commander Riker: Mon-el rugged strong man with a secret sensative side
Counselor Troi: Psyche (of the Wanderers) Technically not a Legionnaire, but her powers most closely match Troi's and I didn't think Saturn Girl had enough empathy to play Troi.
Lt Commander Data: Quislet - Has the metal body and wants to interact with humans
Lt Commander La Forge: Invisible Kid II - both are kind of wall-flower types
Dr. Crusher: Kinetrix -- both for the fiery red hair and the assertiveness of the character
Lt. Worf: Timber Wolf - got to go with the obvious
Next Shows: Sticking with House, & Grey's Anatomy, & Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Okay, I'll give Buffy a shot (the cast of the early seasons, mainly):
Buffy -- Laurel Gand: you gotta have a kick-ass, cute blonde. Willow -- White Witch: all witchy and stuff (the original Mysa was even a red-head!). Xander -- Rond Vidar: the ordinary guy who often gets in over his head. Giles -- Brainiac 5, obviously. Tara -- Ayla Ranzz: Auburn-haired, demure (in early versions), and gay. Angel -- Jo Nah: beefy heart-throb with a tortured past. Cordelia -- Tinya Wazzo: She's got the spoiled rich brat background, and could be catty if she wanted to be. Spike -- Mekt Ranzz; c'mon, he's perfect! Drusilla -- Spider Girl, pre-reformed.

Col. Hogan: 5YL Tenzil; smart-alecy but competent. Kinch: Reep - the best spy, never got caught (even as a black man in a Nazi uniform), never a limelight-seeker but gets the job done. Carter: Garth, the farm-boy Newkirk: no perfect fit; Gates comes closest in attitude. LaBeau: Jacques, for Frenchness.
Col. Klink: Universo (monacle and bald, of course) Shultz: Sugyn Hilda: Reboot Luornu, the competent office manager also handy at espionage.
Col. Crittenden: Threeboot Rokk, full of himself and hot air. Gen. Burkhalter: Leland McCauley III (the 60s one) Gestapo Major Wolfgang Hochstetter: Garlack, the Khund Warlord
Next: St. Elsewhere Benson All in the Family

Dr. Donald Westphall -- Star Boy: Kind of a sad-sack hero who means well but whose plans often backfire. Dr. Daniel Auschlander -- Mon-El: very old (in chronological terms) and suffering from a fatal disease (lead poisoning versus cancer). Dr. Mark Craig -- Wildfire: brash and outspoken; apt to make as many enemies as friends.
Dr. Victor Ehrlich -- Comet Queen: an off-the-wall character who seems shallow and superficial. Dr. Peter White -- Atmos: the rapist, natch. Dr. Eliot Axelrod -- Bouncing Boy: overweight and often used for comedy relief. Dr. Bobby Caldwell -- Sun Boy: the womanizer who comes to a bad end. Orderly Luther Hawkins -- Devlin O'Ryan: a junior member trying to become part of the big leagues. Dr. Wayne Fiscus -- Matter-Eater Lad: same off-the-wall sense of humor. Dr. Jack Morrison -- Lightning Lad: the guy who gets all the bad luck. Nurse Helen Rosenthal -- Queen Projectra: the matronly head nurse who goes up against senior management in a contract dispute. Nurse Lucy Papandrao -- Kono: aggressive and independent, but not as much as she'd like to think. Dr. Philip Chandler -- Tyroc: a serious young black who doesn't really know what he wants to be (or what writers want him to be).

Fred: Element Lad -- the curly blonde hair, natch!

JD: Invisible Kid (Lyle)--mostly for the physical type. Turk: Sun Boy--as good a match as any. Carla: Shadow Lass--temper! Elliott: Saturn Girl--'nuff said. Dr. Cox: Cosmic Boy--good personality match (and I wouldn't mind seeing Cox in a bustier) Dr. Kelso: RJ Brande--Father figure Janitor: Quislet--clearly from a different universe The Todd: Ultra Boy--'nuff said.

Michael Westen - Ultra Boy (Street smarts mixed with the good looks) Fiona Glenanne - Phantom Girl (looks the part better than anyone ele. Sam Axe - Matter Eater Lad (since I always picture a young Bruce playing him in the TMK stuff) Madeline Westen - Dreamy (seems like her aged up a bit)

might I suggest some variety in eras among the three choices? Sticking with a single era is rather limiting to anyone not familiar with a particular era (not everyone watches current shows, for instance).
