In the case of Foundation, the whole production was actually still pretty good, despite the liberties taken with the source material to get the show on-screen, and ultimately if it encourages even a small portion of the viewership of the TV series to want to pick up and read all the many books that cover the Foundation universe then the show clearly succeeded on some level.
