Where Theres A Will There's A Grace

Advantages: Funny show.
Disadvantages: Very stereotypical.

...Will & Grace is a Emmy award winning sitcom that aired between 1998-2006. The show takes place in New York City and focuses on Will Truman, a gay lawyer and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight Jewish girl who runs her own interior design firm. That show sounds boring, why is it so good I hear you ask. The casting directors hired two perfect actors to play Will & Grace. Eric McCormack who plays Will isn't too gay like someone else in the show, so it makes it seem plausible that Grace thought he was straight. Debra Messing who plays Grace is just so bubbly and eccentric that you can't help but love her. Most importantly though it's the chemistry between Will & Grace that pulls you in, I myself always thought that they'd get together in the end. The show doesn't just focus around these two characters though, two of the best...

Review of Will & Grace

Will, Grace, Karen and Jack

Advantages: hilarious
Disadvantages: can they ever find true love?

...Is there anyone out there who HASN'T watched, or heard of, "Will and Grace"? It has recently become one of my favourite sitcoms so I decided to spread the word and review it in order to convince the unitiated to watch it - or the non-believers to give it another chance! I originally started watching "Will and Grace" when it first aired on Channel Four several years ago, at the time purely because there was nothing else decent on at the same time and it was a pleasant enough way to pass half an hour on a boring Friday night in. Then, after I moved out of my parents, I found my flatmate at the time had the first two series on dvd and we used to have "Will and Grace" marathons. I was officially hooked. After that I would drive my (ex) boyfriend mad watching reruns of it on Living when I was over at his flat. So let me convert YOU now...

Review of Living - Will and Grace

Will & Grace (& Karen & Jack)

Advantages: Cracks me up with laughter
Disadvantages: Only on for half an hour

...To start you off and give you a general idea I will list the lead characters in this excellent US sitcom. THE CAST Will Trueman (Eric McCormack) is a lawyer. Grace Adler (Debra Messing) is an Interior Disigner. Jack McFarland (Sean Hughes) is an out of work actor. Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) is a mega rich woman/floozy who works for Grace. And not forgetting the wonderful Shelley Morrison (Rosa) who plays Karen`s maid. I believe that if the producers of this show had chosen others actors for these roles, the show would not be the hit it is today. I have been wathcing Will & Grace for a good while now and it is great to see that the storylines are still strong...

Review of Living - Will and Grace

Will you Grace it with your presence

Advantages: Great, funny characters
Disadvantages: One-liners might get on your nerves

...Firstly can I apologise for the appalling title- I just couldn't resist! ;o) As a straight girl who lives with her gay best friend (currently not going well, I think there are some people who just can't live together!), I was interested to see the arrival on our screens of the new comedy series, 'Will and Grace'. While the show breaks no new ground in terms of the format, the fact that it depicts the characters of Will (Eric McCormick), a gay man, and Grace (Debra Messing), his best friend, makes it different from the average comedy series out there (the only one which I can think of which compares is the appalling- and totally different in style- British sitcom 'Gimme Gimme Gimme'which, incidentally my own best friend loved and forced me to suffer through every time it was on!) Anyway, back to Will & Co... The action is set in...

Review of Living - Will and Grace

You'll Have a Gay Ol' Time With Will and Grace

Advantages: Witty, cleverly written and constantly humorous
Disadvantages: Gay theme may put off some

...Will and Grace has the unusual honour of being both a conventional and unconventional sitcom simultaneously. On the one hand, it deals with the same brand of witty Americanised comedy seen before in rating smashes Friends and Frasier. Oppositely, it deals with the original premise of focusing on a male-female partnership where one is a straight woman and the other a gay man. This could have spelled a recipe for disaster ; just look at the episodes of mid-1990s sitcom Ellen after she decided she was a lesbian. Every other storyline focused on her sexuality and consequently the comedic brilliance accentuated before the lifestyle change was all but abandoned. Thankfully, while everyone is aware of Will’s sexuality and many a joke is spawned from it, it is not constantly referred to using tired clichés and distasteful jokes...

Review of Living - Will and Grace

Will Will and Grace fall to Grace???

Advantages: Keeps you laughing; One episode has so much in it
Disadvantages: Gives you tummy zache from laughing at the silliest things

...Will and Grace has been said to be the new friends and I agree 100%. I?m sure you all understand the plot that is continued throughout but I will tell you anyway for safety?s sake. It is about a gay man called Will and his straight friend Grace who is an interior designer with her own business called Grace Adler Designs where we meet another of the main characters Karen Walker who is Grace?s assistant who, I use this term loosely, works there. Jack is one of Will?s friends from high school and is the campest and gayest man on TV. Each show is unique, some shows such as Friends and Frasier follow a strict pattern but each show is very different and yes the gay theme is there but they just seem unique. One main high is the introduction of so many celebrities in the show the list includes: -Kevin Bacon -Woody Harrrelson -Madonna...

Review of Living - Will and Grace

Will & Grace series 6

Advantages: As funny as ever
Disadvantages: A little disjointed

...Series six yet again follows Will (gay laywer), Grace (single interior designer), Jack (gay out of work actor) and Karen (drunk!) through their hilarious antics in NYC. This series is extremely funny and in some ways does live up to the high standards set by previous series. However, series five is a very hard act to follow and I think everyone involved in the program knew that. The main problem with this series is that it doesn't have any huge plots to focus on. Series five had Grace's marriage, Karen's divorce and Will and Grace's attempts to have a baby to centre around but this season just feels like a series of unrelated episodes. That's not to say they're not hugely entertaining and just as funny as one has come to expect, but Will and Grace has always carried off the ongoing plotlines with flair. The series kicks...

Review of Will And Grace - Season 6 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Will and Grace - Season 1

Advantages: Very funny!
Disadvantages: Too much camp comedy may be too much for some people.

...Will and Grace is an American sitcom set in Manhattan. Plenty of canned laughter and characters you can't help but laugh at. Will Truman (Eric McCormack) is a successful lawyer with a great sense of humour. Grace Adler (Debra Messing) is a vibrant young designer who runs her own company and at times can be slightly wacky. Will and Grace are best friends and share an apartment. They spend most their time looking for love. They would make the perfect couple if it wasn't for one thing, Will is gay and Grace is straight. There have been 7 seasons of Will and Grace which is a good thing if you have never seen it before and want to get into it, the price of the earlier box sets are coming down. You can pick up the complete Season 1 on DVD for around £19.99. There are 6 DVD's featuring all 22 episodes and lots of bonus features including...

Review of Will And Grace - Season 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

will grace jack and karen.

Advantages: great to watch
Disadvantages: Episodes are a bit short

...Will and Grace have been best friends for years and share an appartment in New york and there friend Jack lives across the hall.Grace is an interior designer and has her own company called Grace Adler designs, her assistant Karen Walker is always telling Grace that her hair doesnt look good and her clothes dont match.Grace knows Will is the only person who understands her and can help her put things in perspective.

Karen is married to Stanley and has two step children Olivia and Mason. Anastasia Beaverhausen is Karen Walkers alias. She uses the name when she wants to be incognito at places such as Taco Time and Banana Republic Rosario is...
