Summary: One of the best sitcoms ever!
Review: This is an amazing show. There is not one single episode of Will and Grace that has not had me laughing so hard I was crying. I think this is one of the greatest casts ever assembled to perform together. I cannot imagine a better casting for this show. Wonderfully acted and even a better written show!! One of a kind and a definite treat, now that it is on DVD.

Summary: Honey, I thought we talked about that outfit...
Review: Grace, what's with the outfit, you look like a crazed housewife from one of the square states!....I can't believe how great this show is--and to have it on DVD!! I got it as a gift from NBC.com--I would wait and buy it on amazon, it's much cheaper!! Not only do you get all of the first season episodes--but the "themed featurettes" special feature is to die for. It's a series of 8 montages of clips from the first season grouped into different categories. It's almost as much fun watching these as it is watching each of the epidodes.

It's also GREAT to have W&G and not have to wait for commercials! The shows are the perfect length for when you are having a bite to eat but don't want to get hooked on whatever happens to be on cable. But beware! The first season is super addictive!

Things to look forward to: the legendary first meeting of Jack and Karen (where they touch tummies for the first time "I had no idea you'd be so--"kitten-with-a-whip" "Shoes? Chanel. Fabulous! I know!"); Rosario's first epidsode; the unveiling of "Just Jack"; Molly Shannon's first turn as the crazy luna-chick "Val" ("You funny lady--and you gay fella!"); the fantastic episode where the group goes camping ("I don't know Will, at night I like to "spramp" a li'l gardenia on for Stan..."); Debbie Reynolds' debut; the list goes on and on.

Even though this show is in syndication, it's a must have on DVD. You can pick and choose when and how you want to laugh your butt off!!

Summary: Season 1 of America's best comedy is now available on DVD!
Review: In 1998, a new comedy called "Will & Grace" made its official debut on US comedy channel NBC. The series was widely talked about. I live in the UK, and Will & Grace has only been on our television screens for little over two years, but - as in America - the show has made a huge impact and formed huge fanclubs amongst both the gay and straight communities. Seasons 1 and 2 have been available in the UK for around a year, so I think it's about time the show is released on DVD in America!

Will and Grace are best friends who are both very close. Everything about their friendship is perfect for them to be a romantic couple, except for one problem - while Grace is straight, Will is gay. Will Truman (Eric McCormack) is a supercool lawyer who loves Grace as a friend, but nothing more. He is a rather strange character, but seems very grounded and comfortable with his sexuality. Grace Adler (Debra Messing) is a sassy, smart and successful interior designer. She is very dedicated and disciplined when it comes to her professional life, but her personal life isn't nearly so together, and Will is her stabilising force. She's a little neurotic, and she knows Will is the only person who understands her and can help her put things into perspective. Besides this, Grace is also a lot of fun, and her humour helps balance Will's more serious personality.

Will and Grace also have to cope with their two long time friends, Jack and Karen. Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) is a jobless and very hyper camp gay guy. He is highly neurotic, extremely outspoken, a little bitter, maybe even borderline obsessive-compulsive. However, underneath all that, he is a caring soul and a good friend to Will. Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) plays Grace's socialite assistant. Karen is always confident that her way is the right way, and that she gives brilliant advice. She is so happy just being who she is, and who she is so completely inappropriate that it can't really be fathomed.

With the first episode of Season 1, "Pilot (Love And Marriage)," Grace is preparing to finish with her slob of a boyfriend Danny, but he proposes! The conclusion to whether or not Grace goes through with it is hilarious, and it fits in perfectly with the follow-up episode, "A New Lease On Life." Grace is looking for apartments, but puts forth an idea to move in with Will. In "Head Case," Grace comes up with an idea to expand Will's two bathrooms, but this idea soon turns into a living nightmare! In "Between A Rock And Harlin's Place," Jack is rehearsing for his one-man play Just Jack! Karen offers her advice in a hilarious dance scene, while Will and Grace have serious issues about a client who is looking for a new apartment. In "Boo! Humbug," Karen reluctantly agrees to storm the streets on Halloween with Jack, but she ends up having much more fun than him with a group of Drag Queens! In "William Tell," Jack lets slip to Grace about a guy that Will had an affair with a guy when he was in a long-term relationship with Michael. In "Where There's A Will, There's No Way," Jack is in serious trouble. He has forgotten to pay his taxes and now his gym membership is under threat! In "The Buying Game," Grace wants to buy her studio, but things turn sour when Will intervenes. Meanwhile, Jack is finding his massage training a bit too hands on with Karen. In "The Truth About Will And Dogs," Will becomes obsessed with a pet dog. In "The Big Vent," Jack is freaking out because Karen says his new play stinks. Meanwhile, Will and Grace are totally obsessed with the interesting conversations from the apartment below that they can hear through their heating vent. In "Will On Ice," Jack and Karen strike up an unlikely friendship when discussing ice skaters, while Will's birthday is set to turn out badly again - and he can't even get a cowboy cake!

In "My Fair Maid-y," Grace is freaking out thinking that she has lost all creative inspiration she ever had for interior designing. It's not long before Will's cleaning lady is claimed as Grace's saviour. In "The Unsinkable Mommy Adler," Grace's mother shows up with an outrageous suggestion that Will and Grace should get married! In "Big Brother Is Coming Part 1," Grace is trying to re-unite Will with his brother who cut him out of his life years ago. In "Big Brother Is Coming Part 2," Grace appear to have made a mistake in her attempts to re-unite Will with his brother. In "Yours, Mine Or Ours," Will and Grace argue over a guy who has separately invited them both to dinner. In "Secrets And Lays," the whole four go to stay in a log cabin for a weekend. Grace sets it up as a solution for Will's 'Split With Michael' Anniversary, but a blast from the past threatens to blow her cover. In "Grace Replaced," Will is off seeing another woman while Grace is extremely busy. Is Grace a little jealous? In "Will Works Out," Jack joins Will's gym but this leads to all sorts of problems for Will and his reputation with clients who also go to his gym. In "Saving Grace," Grace potentially lands a huge deal with a male client, but Will has to go out with him for Grace to be successful in her deal. In "Alley Cats," Will and Grace have to curb their competitive streaks when they stand to lose their friends, whilst Jack is performing CPR on Karen.

Will & Grace is a fairly new comedy in the UK, and its popularity is just soaring, and we're only on Season 3! The show has longevity, and that's what will make it one of the most popular sitcoms in history. Will's crazy moments, Grace's wacky situations, Jack's flamboyant attitude and Karen's hilarious one-liners are all in this collection for you to treasure forever. Buy the Season 1 Collection of Will & Grace now!

Summary: The best show...EVER, lol
Review: I think I might actually preorder it and have it as a little surprise to myself because I know I will have forgotten about it by the time it gets mailed, so it will be a nice shock. "Oh, the heavens have sent me laughter, in the form of Will and Grace." I probably wont say it like that but something along those lines, lol.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It will make you laugh!!!
Review: This show is just the best and my absolute favorite. Season one kicked off so well in Europe, that ever since then I'm hooked! I never can get enough of it! I hope that all the other seasons will be released on DVD as well. This show can be watched over and over again thanks to Jack, Karen, Will, and Grace. Great actors with an enormous amount of talent that deserve to be recognized..they make you laugh and that's the greatest thing in life!!!

Summary: IT IS ABOUT TIME
Review: i have waited for a long time to finally get this series on dvd. granted i am writing a review based on dvds i have not even seen yet, but i have so much faith in this show that i already know that the set will be awesome. for me this is the funniest show on television right now. all four of the major characters feed off of each other perfectly. notice how all the characters have special relationships with each other and how each one is unique. of course you have the will and grace relationship which seems to be the traditional gay guy straight girl relationship. then youhave will and jack which also seems like the typical gay guy and gay guy relationship. will and karen are hilarious together with their constant insults towards each other, these scenes are side splitting. then there is the karen and grace relationship which works so well also, and the reason being because that type of friendship doesn't really make a lot of sense but still seems to work. grace and jack's relationship is also quite funny because jack always seems to be making fun of grace in one way or another. but the funniest relationship in the show is found between jack and karen. the first time the two of them meet is classic. but it is also important to remeber that this is an ensemble cast and that as a whole they work perfectly together. three out of the four actors have not won emmys for nothing and the show has not won best comedy at the emmys for nothing either. the show has earned them and well deserves them also. i will be the first in line to buy this set of dvds and i know that i will not be disappointed. i really look forward to seeing the show without commercials because those are always such a drag. so it is about time that this quality show comes to dvd and i cant wait for the rest of the seasons to follow close behind.

Summary: It's about Time!
Review: I have been waiting for Will and Grace to be introduced on DVD for a long time. It has been available in Europe for a while but is coded for them, and not for type 1 DVD players.

This is a groundbreaking series that just keeps getting better and better. The Critics, and the religious right said it would not last, and it is going to go into it's 6th season now.

My favorite line from all of season 1 is from the Pilot episode..

Jack: "Grace, when you met me, did you know I was Gay'?

Grace: "My Dog Knew"

The price on this DVD set cannot be beat... I Just hope they continue to release the remainder of the Seasons soon after Season 1.

Summary: What will NBC do?
Review: This series is the lifeblood of NBC. Now that friends is over, what will NBC do when will and grace (6th season already folks) leaves...

This DVD contains all season one episodes, and virtually nothing else (2 interviews basically.) But who can complain with a price under $30! I actually prefer DVDs like this. I would much rather have the season, for a low price, that all the extras which average out to be $10 a piece!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Verrrrrrrryyyy FUNNyyyyyyyyyyy
Review: Well what I can say. I just started to watch this show not long time ago and decided of course to buy it to know where all persons come from to the show and why. I will recommend this DVD to all fans of Will and Grace. I was a little bit diappointed cauz I didn't see any additional features but I understand DVD -makers cauz Season one is 8 years old. Hopefully on the next seasons DVDs we will see more additional features.

Buy it and watch it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The reason I bought Season 1....
Review: The reason I bought Season 1 of W&G is that, unlike later seasons, it wasn't cluttered with guest stars! Yes, there were a few, but most of it consists of the people whom I most wanted to see-- the cast.
