How about the networks start thinking of doing some original programming instead of bringing back retreads from the past. I was never a big fan of Will & Grace and thought the characters were all so selfish.
It seems they can only do reality and retreads (as well as those terrible cop procedurals like CSI).

Too Late. Rumor has it that The Weinstein company wants to make a remake/reboot starring Mark Wahlberg as the Six Billion Dollar Man. The film was originally scheduled for a Dec 2017 release but since they haven't actually started filming then don't expect this until 2018 at the earliest.

I Can't see Mission Impossible coming back to TV as long as they are making movies and even after they do stop making them because many of the plot lines that were popular in the 60's would simply no longer make sense in 2017.
Network TV couldn't afford to pay the salary of all the stars you would need to make a new Laugh In show. Most of them are either too cheap or they make more money with reality TV.

Here is my short list of shows that I'd like to see remade.
Space 1999 would have to be changed to Space 2099 or 2199.
Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century. You wouldn't need to change anything.
UFO: A Gerry Anderson produced show about a secret Government agency called SHADO that combats the repeated attacks of a dying alien civilisation.
The Starlost: A Canadian produced show about a gigantic space Ark composed of hundreds of separate human habitats that has somehow gone off course and will crash into a star in the near future. Most often repeated phrase: Can I be of assistance.
Jason of Star Command: In many ways it was similar to Buck Rodgers except that the main character was from his time period.
Shows that I would to see remade but won't because they involve water.
Man From Atlantis and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. It can be argued that Voyage was remade by NBC when they made Seaview starring Roy Scheider.

Space: 1999 was a sequel of sorts to UFO (which I remember watching as a kid long ago) as the second season of UFO was going to have the aliens blowing the Moon out of the orbit and into space.
If I had to choose a show to redo, it would be both UFO and Space: 1999. Both shows could have been so much better as I have recently watched the entire series runs on Hulu (shameless plug). Given a more mature outlook and plots, both shows could be quite good.

If I had to pick two shows out of my list than these two would be the ones that I'd pick. All the while knowing that the science behind Space 1999 made absolutely no scientific sense because the Moon would have had to travel at warp speed to reach the different planets it did during it's two year run. That said I really loved that show growing up. The Eagle was a classic spacecraft and one that could exist today. They had a kind of portable video phone with their communicator.

Of course not. That's why they invented CGI. You just have to be willing to wear a green bodysuit and bunch of tiny white dots and voila you can be anything that a bunch of computer techs can devise with their computers.
