Summary: ONE OF THE BEST TV SITCOMS EVER!!!
Review: Will and Grace is the funniest TV sitcoms on TV. I only started watching it in the last 2 seasons, and I haven't been able to catch older episodes on syndication, so I went out and bought this DVD boxed set. And let me tell you, it was the best boxed set I've bought, with Friends: Complete First/ Second/ Third/ and Fourth Season coming in second. Not one episode on this DVD didn't make me laugh. And the thing is that you could watch it over and over again and still look forward to it because it still makes you laugh.My only complaint is that this DVD REALLY lacks extras and special features. The box cleary says "Loaded with Special Features"... but where'd they go??? Like... there are three interviews, one with the executive producers and creators, one with the director and one with the cast. And there are 11 themed featurettes... but all it really is are clips from the episodes... so pointless... On the "Friends" DVDs... there are quizzes, commentary, music videos, multi-language subtitles etc. Overall, this DVD was worth it's money. Even though it lacked extras, I didn't buy it for the extras anyways, so it really doesn't matter. Go out and buy this now... it's worth every penny!!!

Summary: Good But could be Great
Review: I have been a fan of "W&G" since the day it premiered. Love the show and the interaction between all 4 stars. Alone----they shine with ability and talent. Together they are radiant, hilarious, witty, sincere, and spontaneous. I was thrilled to see the first season available. BUT.....I was expecting more in the way of extras (outakes, interviews, etc)....the section with the interviews is difficult to hear, had to have sound turned up higher for it. I am sure that there are zillions of "bloopers" and some should of been instilled in this set. However it is a wonderfully put together set and fun to see the shows with no commercials. Despite the lack of extras I will wait with baited breath for Season 2 to come available.

Summary: Very funny, but box set lacks decent extras
Review: A very funny show in its first very funny season. Granted, if you watch several episodes back to back the jokes seem a bit repetitive. After all, what you really get are multiple punchlines of the same joke. But if watched in moderation they are enjoyable every time. For a box set release, however, it comes up a bit short. We do get interviews with the cast, director, and creators. But one problem with that is the interviewer: I think he considers this interview to be HIS moment in the spotlight, so he milks it for every comment he can make. He doesn't really give the cast a chance to shine in the interview. And truth be told, they don't look too excited about being there anyway. What might have been better would have been some outtakes and bloopers, as I am SURE they have some great ones. And what I have always wanted to see was some perspective that the live audience members get to see at the tapings. Have a video camera follow the audience in from the studio parking lot to the soundstage, through the audience warm-ups, the cast intros, the taping itself, etc. I have attended 5 sitcom tapings over the years at various studios, and to me that was always at least as fun as the show itself. You get to see how the permanent and fly sets are arranged with each other, how some of the production aspects work, etc. That is just my personal wish list for a box set feature, but I think it is a good example of the kind of value-added material we should expect for the hefty price we pay for these TV series box sets, dontcha think? But I went out and bought the W&G DVD set without hesitation the day it came out and I do enjoy it (especially the lack of commercials). I just feel we should expect a lot more in the way of bonus features in these pricey box sets.

Summary: FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY and real FUNNY
Review: Really, you want me to say more? Okay, but I'm sure you've heard it all before. Finally a TV sitcom that really is funny, for everyone. You could be the straightest person on earth and any one of the four great actors will make you laugh, especially Karen. Not that she's better than the rest only that her character get to say all the things we'd love to say to people but never do (she's a NASTY girl). Let's hope that we don't have to wait until next year for season 2. P.S. To the writrers if they're reading this, don't expand Jack and Karen's roles, they're only good because you've kept them at bay, keep up the great work.

Summary: Maybe I'll wear it, maybe I won't.. But, uh maybe I will!!
Review: Will & Grace debuted in 1998 on NBC. Critics predicted that Will & Grace would run only one season, but America instantly responded to the 30 minute show with comedy packed into each minute. Since 1998, Will & Grace has been running on NBC, and just recently aired it's 100th show. I guess the television critics were wrong about Will & Grace.
Will & Grace are play by Eric McCormack, and Debra Messing as Grace. Jack (Will's eccentric best friend) is played by award winning Sean Hayes. Grace's inappropriate rich assistant (and friend) is play by Grammy award winner Megan Mullaly. These four core-characters give compelling comedic performaces, and couldn't have been cast more appropriately. Shelley Morrison (who plays Rosario) a fiesty Salvadorian maid (to Karen) is often not mentioned in addition to the four main actors, but Shelley Morrison is a wonderful actress as well, that certainly spices up any comedic scene.
So, now that you all have the vital facts on the history of Will & Grace. I'll go into some other important details. Will & Grace is often labeled a comedy (and which it is) but Will & Grace occassionally tackles some tough issues (with a twist of course)sexuality acceptance, marriage, commitment, losing loved ones, the discrimination between gays and straight communities, all these have been brought up on Will & Grace more than once. I think that in addition to being a comedy that everybody could seriously learn something from Will & Grace. So, whether or not you're looking to learn a valueable lesson, or just laugh histerically, I reccommend Will & Grace all the way. Do yourself a favor and have this DVD on your shelf somewhere, even if to save it for a rainy day.

Summary: Great show, but disapointing DVD
Review: I am a huge fan of W&G, but I was very disapointed in the lack of extras that really should have been added to the DVD. There was an absurdly short interview with the cast and nothing that any second rate fan would already know was revealed. I expected much more from this DVD and I wish I had skipped on ordering it. With the show in syndication it's not tough to see all the first season episodes on tv, this is why I expected a lot of added extras; without the extras the DVD is a waste of money in my opinion.

Summary: Just Jack
Review: This is an awesome DVD box-set of Will and Grace. Being the first TV show that I bought on DVD, it left a very good impression on me. The four main characters (Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen)are wonderfully written, each one having his or her own personality and humor. The actors themselves are wonderful to watch. Eric, Debra, Sean, and Megan is the perfect ensemble for a comedy series.
This season has many memorable moments, but in my opinion, the most memorable is the introduction of "Just Jack", the title of Jack's performance. Jack is definetly my most favorite character in this show. I can't wait for season 2 on DVD.

Summary: Straight...but who cares
Review: Typical straight guy response when his wife wants him to watch "Will and Grace:" "I don't want to watch some stupid show about a bunch of gays!" Typical response 30 minutes later: "So, when does this come on next?" Yeah, that was me! Now all I want to know is, when will Season 2 be released?!?!?!?

Summary: *Hi Poodle! Whose your Daddy?*
Review: What can I say about this show other than it's the best comedy on TV right now. I absolutely love this show. The cast works so well together. It's like you know they all love and adore each other. Whether it's Jack and Karen cutting up, Rosairo and Kare's fights, Grace's hideous outfits-honey what's this, or Will and Grace always being around for each other. You won't want to miss getting this Will and Grace collectors item. No matter what kind of day your having, as soon as you pop this in, you will end up leaving with a smile.
