I'm currently of the opinion that the "Clone Wars" show is all the PT needed to be.

As a television series, it's automatically a different animal, and doesn't easily compare to the OT. Apples and oranges, so it avoids the unfavorable comparison the PT has going for it.

I don't need every single aspect of Anakin's and Obi's life explained. Anakin's a Jedi. Obi's his mentor. He has a secret wife. Perfect... that sets up the OT all I need.

Palpatine is Chancellor AND the Big Secret Bad Guy?! Whoa!!!! I don't need to know how Palpy got elected.

I think the show, for what it is, has succeeded at its aims far better than the PT ever did. If we didn't have the PT movies, and just this show, I bet we'd all absolutely love it and say "Great job Lucas! Too bad this isn't a trilogy of movies!"
