    Comedy at its best!

    Will and Grace is one of the best comedy programmes around. Each character is very funny. Each member of the main cast show exciting chemistry together on screen. Will(Eric McCormack) & Grace(Debra Messing) work well together, helping each other in their daily lives adding a new wave of comedy. Jack(Sean Hayes) is the eccentric gay friend who makes me laugh to tears. Karen (Megan Mullally) the rich alcoholic who loves to belittle Graces dress sense. The jokes are written to an intelligent degree.I love this programme because it has filled the hole left by the departure of 'Friends' and 'Sex and the city'. We can all hope that it will stick around for the next few years to keep us in front of the TV.

    It's getting better

    I'm starting to like the Will & Grace characters better, the writing's getting better and the laughs are coming more often than when I first started watching 4-5 weeks ago. I still love Megan Mullally (Karen) the best.

    Great show, great cast, great writing

    Will & Grace is a great show and will continue to be so even after its gay theme loses its novelty. The writing is usually great, sometimes exceptional, the hour long flashback episode was the best thing I saw in the 2000/2001 TV season. But I would credit the cast most of all. Eric McCormack is (comparatively) subtle and nuanced as Will, Megan Mullally bizarre and sharp as Karen, but I reserve my highest praise for Debra Messing and Sean Hayes. Hayes' Jack is endlessly energetic, always plotting, and watching Hayes' performance is like watching a Van Halen guitar solo, almost too fast to follow but every note perfect. Debra Messing's Grace seems to be the character that everything happens to, and you can see every bit of it on her face. Her bio tells of her extensive arts education, and it shows. If there's ever been another Lucille Ball, it would have to be Debra Messing. Will & Grace has all the necessary sitcom ingredients: interesting situations, hilarious comedy, and characters you care about.

    Great sitcom

    She's a straight interior designer. He's a gay lawyer. Together they form a show that is as hilariously funny as it is completely outrageous.

    The emmy-winning show is about best friends Will and Grace and their friends, the ever-eccentric homosexual Jack (Sean Hayes, comic genius) and the booze-battling snob Karen (Megan Mullaly).

    According to newspaper reports Eric McCormack (Will) and Debra Messing (Grace) fight over who is the bigger star. If they'd open their eyes they'd find the answer: Karen and Jack. Compared to Will & Grace, Karen & Jack leave them behind in the funny stakes.

    In fact, the latter two are such strong characters, that if the show ended tomorrow, these two could easily have their own spin-off. But for now, I'm happy to tune into the hilarious Will & Grace.

    truly odd couple

    Once a perfect couple,will and grace, shared a flat and they had two best friends,neurotic Jack and filthy rich Karen,but this perfect couple have one problem,Grace is straight and will is gay. This is the premise for what i think is the funniest US to Uk sitcom import on our TV screens at the moment. This is basically a comedy about a search for love and the complications involved. Personally i think the main laughs come from my two favourite character,jack,Sean Hayes,and Karen,Megan Mullally.The two characters have perfect chemistry.Sean Hayes may play his gay character stereotypically but that makes him very funny and Megan mull ally has her rich character down to a tee. The series has a lot of big guest stars including Matt Damon who plays a straight man pretending to be gay so he can join jacks gay choir. The only slight problem is that some of the jokes are about American themes and may not be understood by a British audience but apart from that this is a cracker of a comedy. for this reason,American themes, i give this sitcom 9/10

    • Trivia
      John Barrowman was up for the role of Will Truman, but didn't get it because he was "too straight", and the role went to Eric McCormack. Barrowman is gay in real life, while McCormack is straight.
    • Goofs
      The layout of Will's apartment, specifically his bedroom and the bathroom(s), don't match up with the layout of the hallway outside his door.
    • Quotes

      Karen: [on hiring Jack to play a straight man in a commercial] No one in the world would believe you're straight. You're as gay as a clutchpurse on Tony night. You fell outta the gay tree, hitting every gay branch on the way down. And ya landed on a gay guy... and ya did 'em. No, no, honey, your gayness can be seen from space.
