Featured reviews
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.

- GoofsThe 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.
