I think the real shame of these movies is the casting of the main crew is actually fantastic and it's been thrown away on garbage writing. I would watch the fuck out of a series with them in it and I haven't had cable in over a decade. A lot of the best writing of TOS/TNG/DS9 was dealing with social issues and commentary and humanity in general. Then you go to Voyager which is about random dice rolls happening every week with uninspired characters (mostly), and Enterprise which fell to the fact that is was a prequel and can't really do THAT much because of established cannon already.
A TV series with the new cast would potentially run into the same problem: Can't just reshoot all the old episodes one by one, can't ride a lot of the same ideas that were big at the time. But there's plenty of new topics to tackle and plenty of talent in the cast to do it. Of course you could never fund a TV show filled with movie actors, either.
