Saw this last night! I can't wait for the show to be back! Megan Mullally looks like she didn't age at all. Just like Karen would  |

So excited for this, I really am. I don't even care how they explain it considering the previous ending - I'm just glad it's back. Aside from Modern Family, US comedy has been seriously lacking. As long as the writing is as sharp as it always was, I'll be very happy. I don't think it would be that hard to explain the finale ending, it could have been a dream by Grace or Will, |

I often find myself walking around singing 'Ah-ba-dah, Bee-ba-dah,' like Karen. Whoops.
I'm slightly disappointed that Grace's singing wasn't louder and more over the top in that trailer, but I can't wait.
I hope Shelley Morrison can film some episodes - she didn't look well in the election episode last year.

When this was on previously every gay character had to somehow be sexless at the same time. Yes, Jack was funny but in a "safe gay" way that straights could laugh at a how they stereotypically saw gay men. Did anyone really believe Will had a sex life?
Jack and Karen were so funny because of the incredible writers.
It will be interesting if US network TV will have moved past all this and actually live up to that catchy tune in the clip.
If so it might make me watch network tv, at least on that night.
And I always thought that they should play Grace as being comfortable in being (can't use phrase as it's unacceptable now) friends with mostly gay guys? It just seemed like they wrote in her having unsatisfactortory relationships just because they thought the viewers expected it

Favourites would be "I'm coming out, ka-pow!...... oh I AM coming out! Patience girls, save it for Lionel" and singing "To Sir, with Love" |

Now I'm thinking of them all, I love Mr Sandman (and the dancing), her duets with John Cleese and Minnie Driver. |

Jack and Karen were great supporting characters to an extent that it made Will and to an extent Grace a bit dull in comparison but that happens a lot in sitcoms, Ted in How I Met Your Mother paled in comparison to Barney same with Leonard who is overshadowed by Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory.

I disagree. Jack may be a stereotype, but there are plenty of people just like him out there. Jack's strength as a character was his confidence in who he was and was completely unashamed of it. What I always found interesting is that on paper, Jack - at his core - is ultimately the same character as Joey from Friends: both promiscuous, failing actors living in New York, relying on their friends for financial support. Yes, their personalities are different but for all intent and purpose they fulfil the same role on their respective shows - a sexually successful, sexually active young male adult. You could argue that we hardly ever see Jack with a partner, but the same could be said for Joey - in both shows their sexual power is conveyed through conversations with friends. Will balances the stereotype scales a bit in that he wasn't looking for casual encounters, but a long term love. He could pass for straight at first glance, until you really got to know him. Between them, Will and Jack show both sides of the coin in the same way Joey and Ross perhaps do in Friends. Grace on the other hand had unsuccessful relationships because she had already found the perfect man for her, and no one ever measured up. Both she and Will had a hard time accepting they would have to move on from each other in the end - and when they finally faced facts, their friendship broke up. Excellent points! Thank you. I sometimes have a hard time explaining on paper (screen?) what I mean. The writing of the Jack and Karen characters was so fantastic. Helped by wonderful actors. I hope this re0boot can equal the scales a bit between Will/Grace and Jack/Karen. I just never found Will or Grace interesting characters at all. I was always waiting for Jack or Karen to show up. |
