Amazon.com:
Will & Grace debuted with a controversial splash because one of its two lead characters is gay--but smart writing and topnotch performances, not politics, have made the show a hit. Two neurotic and sharp-tongued urbanites--gay lawyer Will (Eric McCormack) and straight interior designer Grace (Debra Messing)--delight in their volatile but enduring friendship as they share a sumptuous New York apartment. Sweeping into the mix are Will's unapologetically queeny friend Jack (Sean Hayes) and Grace's wildly eccentric assistant Karen (Megan Mullally). Much like Seinfeld, the humor on Will & Grace springs from self-obsession, petty jealousy, and compulsive interfering in each other's lives--basically, the building blocks of human nature. The show's writers apparently feel compelled to keep the lead characters warm and likeable in the usual sitcom mode (which hardly seems necessary, as McCormack and Messing are naturally engaging). As a result, it's Jack and Karen who get free reign to be truly obnoxious and ridiculous--which, of course, makes them incredibly funny and charismatic. Hayes and Mullally rise to the occasion, ripping through absurd situations and arias of narcissistic wit with dazzling panache.

Will & Grace's plots routinely center around scenarios that could feature a married couple or two same-sex roommates: Will and Grace bicker over buying a dog, find their relationship tested by apartment renovations, or discover they're both pursuing the same guy--standard sitcom material that the gay factor gives a clever spin. Though their relationship gets in the way of their sex lives, the two take so much pleasure in each other's company that they can't help but stick together--a surprisingly chaste theme for such a culturally groundbreaking show, but one that Will & Grace's addicted audience undoubtedly appreciates. --Bret Fetzer

- See the series in sequence
Unfortunately when the Will and Grace series first viewed on prime time we were watching something else. Then the series was syndicated and was shown on Lifetime. My partner and I had evening jobs so when we got home we could unwind and watch the series as reruns. However Lifetime did not show them in sequence. We wanted to watch the characters grow throughout the 7 seasons. At the beginning of the series the actors seemed rather stiff and typed cast. Each episode you watch you could see the characters gradually relax in their roles. This is a must have dvd to watch as the characters develop. We are addicts to Will and Grace.

- Amazon sent me a tampered box set.
When I got the DVD set for christmas I realized the plastic was split on one side and carefully taped closed. When I opened it I found two DVDs missing. Never got the replacment in time for christmas, you would think these things recieved a basic inspection before shipment.

- How'd this get so popular?
Loud, unfunny, the lines shouted sitcom style. I really tried to like this, watched 2-3 episodes and gave up. Where's the beef?
