Description: Did you watch?

I miss this show a lot. It was hysterically funny and had a lot of great serious moments about a variety of topics. I've been watching the seasons on DVD over the last few months from time to time. Debra, Eric, Sean, and Megan had such a natural and incredible chemistry with one another. From episode one to the last one, they created such dynamic and fun characters who you grew to love pretty quickly.
Karen (Megan M): I think she was a lot more kind than she would want to take credit for. You would never have to worry that she wasn't telling you what she was thinking. I'm still wondering if her character was bisexual.....she was always asking various women to make out hahaha. She was honest (to a large fault) and had a lot of show stopping moments of hilarity with this character.
Grace (Debra M): Her free spirit and creative personality added more dimension to the show and made it even more hilarious. I loved her aloof moments, but she also brought a lot of kidness, warmth, and connectivity to this character. All of her crazy relationships and situations she got herself into were fun and important life lessons to be learned.
Will (Eric M.): He was the dependable and practical person which clearly helped him in his career as a lawyer and professional life coach to Grace (I'm surprised that job didn't pay). His dry wit and sarcastic humor from his usually more serious and stern personality brought both focus and hilarity to the show. I was glad he found love in the end and he broke a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions people have about Gay men.
Jack (Sean H): He provided the counterpoint to Will as the flamboyantly feminine Gay man and was hysterical. Sean used facial expressions and changes in pitch of his voice to bring so much more humor to the show. He was another free spirited actor/nurse/dancer/surfer/teacher or whatever particular passion of his life he would pick in a given week. The zany situations and awesome one liners he said through the show were awesome.
Honestly, I liked all 4 of these people equally and could not pick a favorite. This show represented what was best about life: love, friendship, and overcoming obstacles (even when you yourself are the one who sets up the roadblock in your path). These 2 men and 2 women taught me a lot about life in their half hour window of time to do so. The guest stars were fun and added to the show as well which helped to solidify themes of connection and love.

Definitely! I'm glad I was able to find the seasons on DVD. It's too bad they couldn't keep on making more seasons. I think all 4 of them won Emmy awards for these roles. Debra and Eric for best Actor and Actress in a Comedy series and Sean and Megan for best Support Actor and Actress in a Comedy series. They had so many famous people guest star: Madonna, Elton John, Patrick Dempsey, Candice Bergan, Molly Shannon, Gene Wilder, Cher.....and the list goes on.

I loved this show...it was so well written and acted...all the emmy's were well deserved. Megan was brilliant. Karen Walker is one of the funniest characters ever in a sitcom.
More importantly, the show did so much to show gays as regular people. It is so important for people to see that gays are the same as everyone else. And for gays to see positive images that they can relate to. It makes it harder for people to hate others when they can relate to them.

I think this show taught people to be more tolerant and have a sense of humor when it comes to the "issues" we hear spoken about today. This is off topic, but I remember seeing a College student on Ellen the other day. He is both blind and can not walk. I'd like to paraphrase what he said, "I don't have a chance to see people on the outside. I don't know what black, brown, white, red, or blue is because I've never seen them. I think we should judge people less and love people for who they are more." (Not exactly what he said; from my memory). That really stuck with me, and without being preachy or over the top, Will and Grace achieved what that inspirational College student spoke about.

I watched the finale yesterday and cried again. They definitely could have continued on with series, but it seemed like they wanted to stop on a great note. The special features with the interviews were both moving and incredibly funny. I liked how the cast said it was not meant to be political because it was not. It just showed another facet of humanity that had not been represented nor visible on mainstream television. Without attempting to be, they ended up making a profound difference in a good way.
