You have a TV show, and it's not very popular. Maybe it's on a low-profile channel, maybe it's on at a bad time, or maybe it's just not that accessible.
And suddenly all that changes.
You get a full season order on a better channel, or the powers that be have dusted the old thing off, but for whatever reason, suddenly your show has popularity potential.
Here's the thing, though—the old version has a lot of good material nobody saw. A scene you're proud of or a plotline you now have the resources to do better. So what do you do? Remake it for the new version, of course! Who's going to notice? No one. So you can see why this seems to be common practice.
Remaking the pilot or similar such things don't apply—the show had to have been an actual, watchable show during both versions for this to take effect.

Brothers Osborne originally included "Stay a Little Longer" on a digital EP. The song was re-recorded for their debut album, and this version was sent out as a single, becoming their Breakthrough Hit.

The Adventures of Pete & Pete was a series of advertisements for Nickelodeon before becoming a series. Many of the one-minute shorts were expanded into half-hour episodes throughout the show's run.

Alien Ant Farm's first single was "Movies," but no one paid them any attention until they released their cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." So afterward, they... shot a new music video for "Movies" and released it again. The single flopped again, and Alien Ant Farm remained known as a One-Hit Wonder.

The concept of WarioWare was based on Sound Bomber, which was a side mode in Mario Artist: Polygon Studios, an obscure title for the short-lived, Japan-only Nintendo 64DD. Dolled-up versions of all eight Sound Bomber microgames are present in the first WarioWare game.

Tales of Vesperia was initially developed for the Xbox 360 due to that system being easier to develop for; however, the unpopularity of Xbox consoles in Japan prompted Namco to make an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 3 one year later. Unfortunately, this rerelease and the content it added never left Japan until the Definitive Edition released during the following console generation.

There's a general tendency for a college newspaper comic that gets syndicated to simply redo old college material until the strip finds its feet. Bloom County borrowed a lot from The Academia Waltz, and Doonesbury also reused Yale-era gags for its early years. It's also common for an Animated Adaptation of a newspaper comic to recycle jokes from its source material.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut features Cartman singing a reprise of "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch" from the first season episode "Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo". Given that the film had a much larger budget than the TV series, it's lavishly animated this time and features a full orchestra.

When Mystery Science Theater 3000 made the jump from local low-budget KTMA to the cable station Comedy Channel, they revisited movies from the KTMA era and reused some host sketches in their first season. Around season four they exhausted their stock of affordable KTMA-era films, and the repeat host sketches stopped by the second season.

The second season of Code Geass was completely reworked because, being very popular, it was moved from the midnight slot to a much more mainstream time, and a lot of the edgy stuff had to be removed. This is arguably the main reason why R2 had such hectic pacing. Pretty well confirmed by Word of God, as interviews have shown the staff felt beholden to do an introduction for the new viewers, which resulted in the infamous "vague rehash" in the first few episodesnote Namely, the way the first four or so episodes of R2 mirror the equivalent episode from the first season.

Metal Gear Solid is a Recycled Script based on Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, a 2D game from eight years prior that was released in Japanese alone for a computer system that was not that popular to begin with and was already obsolete at the time of the game's release. The plot is cosmetically different (different enough that Metal Gear 2 is still in continuity with the rest of the series), but the games share similar level design, gameplay obstacles and even a few identical puzzles.

When The Warriors was released in 1979, Joe Walsh recorded "In The City" for the soundtrack. Although the movie was reasonably successful, the soundtrack fizzled. Walsh's bandmates in The Eagles liked the song and encouraged him to record a new version for the group's sixth album, The Long Run. It has since become a popular album cut and a live staple.

When The Avengers (1960s) market expanded to the US (it was previously an exclusively British show), many UK-only-era episodes were redone. For example, "The Joker" is a creepier version of the earlier story "Don't Look Behind You", and "The £50,000 Breakfast" is a remake of "Death of a Great Dane".

The "Capcom Five" were 5 gamesnote P.N.03, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4, and Killer7. The fifth game was Dead Phoenix, which was canceled without being released at all that Capcom initially announced as exclusives for the Nintendo GameCube. However, after the games sold relatively poorly and failed to increase GameCube sales, all but one of the released games were eventually ported to the much more popular PlayStation 2.
