Summary: Doesn't do the show justice
Review: Will & Grace: Season 1 on DVD is a good product simply because it contains 22 episodes of one of the funniest sitcoms that TV has ever seen. Sadly, thats just about where the good ends. Actually, thats almost where the DVD ends.

Will & Grace has a group of co-stars that could not be any better. The chemistry between Will & Grace and Jack & Karen is off the charts. And Jack is, well, Just Jack, to quote his one-man show. This character is hilarious. It will be sad if this character doesn't resurface after this show's run.

Despite decent at best interviews and well-done (and well-suited for the show) themed featurettes, this CD-set is missing some extras! Come on now, where are the bloopers????

All-in-all, a good re-introduction to a show that is definately a keeper, but not exactly "loaded with extra features", as the case would like to tell you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: let's start at the very beginning...
Review: WILL AND GRACE is probably one of the most refreshingly-hilarious sitcoms to come along in recent years. The ensemble cast is perfect, the writing pin-sharp and storylines ideal. The first season of the show still holds up pretty well (though the show only started to hit it's stride midway through season two).

"Pilot" - Will (Eric McCormack) has arranged for his friend Jack (Sean Hayes) to move into his apartment, until his best friend Grace (Debra Messing) has a bitter breakup with her boyfriend.

"A New Lease on Life" - Will tries to discourage Grace from moving in with him, whilst crazy Jack is slowly driving Will `round the bend.

"Head Case" - Tensions run on high in the Will-Grace apartment when Grace decides they need to renovate the bathroom.

"Between a Rock and Harlin's Place" - Grace accepts the offer to revovate Harlin's (Gary Grubbs) apartment, which infuriates Will.

"Boo Humbug" - Will and Grace have settled down to spend Halloween night watching a series of Ingmar Bergman films when Harlin is called away and needs them to babysit.

"William, Tell" - Grace becomes intrigued when Jack lets slip that Will had a secret affair last summer.

"Where There's a Will, There's No Way" - Grace blames her failing lovelife on Will's influence.

"The Buying Game" - Grace has the option of buying her rented studio space, but is shocked by Will's take-no-prisoners approach to deals.

"The Truth About Will and Dogs" - Grace decides to buy a dog, and Will becomes insane treating the dog like a newborn baby.

"The Big Vent" - Through an accident, Will and Grace start eavesdropping on the couple in the apartment below.

"Will on Ice" - It's Will's birthday but Grace and Jack want to go see an iceskating show. Foolishly Will decides to tag along...

"My Fair Maid-y" - Grace is suffering major creative-block and the apartment is a shambles so Will employs a rather unorthodox maid (Wendie Jo Sperber).

"The Unsinkable Mommy Adler" - Grace's mother (Debbie Reynolds) comes to visit and Will drops a crushing bombshell on Grace.

"Big Brother is Coming (Part 1)" - It's Jack's 29th birthday and Karen (Megan Mullally) is planning a huge bash for her `poodle', complete with a 5-second `appearance' of Leslie Uggams and Will's estranged brother (John Slattery).

"Big Brother is Coming (Part 2)" - After the disastrous birthday, Will and Jack lick their wounds.

"Your's, Mine or Our's" - A good-looking but sexually-ambiguous new tenant moves in, and so do Will and Grace.

"Secrets and Lays" - Jack, Karen and Grace take Will for a weekend in Vermont to forget the anniversary of his ex-boyfriend.

"Grace Replaced" - A new neighbour, Val (Molly Shannon) becomes Will's friend and sets about replacing Grace in his life!

"Will Works Out" - Jack becomes a member at Will's gym, stirring up a lot of feelings about his sexuality.

"Saving Grace" - In order to land a well-paying design job, Grace has to act like a pimp by arranging a date between Will and her prospective boss.

"Alley Cats" - Grace's insane compulsion to always be the winner on `Games Night' almost ruins a friendship.

"Object of My Rejection" - Karen's maid Rosario (Shelley Morrison) is about to be deported until Jack offers to marry her. Grace's ex-boyfriend from Episode One comes back on the scene.

Some good extras (interviews with the cast and crew) as well as some needless ones (montages of the characters and situations featured during the season), which you'd already know if you've watched the episodes!

Summary: Funny funny funny
Review: I LOVE this show in the biggest way, when I first learned of it cumming onto DVD I really got excited and kept bugging my lover, Ramone, about getting it. When my package arrived, I sat and watched several episodes in one night with Ramone while we tossed some salad and enjoyed a night alone. This show is funny, witty and 2 characters being gay appeal to me in a huge way. I can't wait to buy the other seasons, which will most likey cause me to go into instant pleasure. Rainbow Pride.

Summary: Funny and Witty Humor!
Review: Will & Grace is a funny and witty show and I didn't watch it when it first came on NBC because the time of night it was shown just wasn't right for me because I was busy workng and it has been like that for a long time and I saw most of the Will & Grace episodes in reruns on a local station and it has only been this new season that just started that I have been able to watch the episodes in their original airdates so that is why it is so nice that this witty show with great characters like Will, Grace, Jack, Karen and Rosario is on DVD in complete season by season DVDs and I highly recommend this first season.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Gem...
Review: Welcome to the wacky and wonderful world of Will & Grace!

Will (Erick McCormack), a gay Manhattan lawyer, and his best straight friend Grace (Debra Messing), an interior designer, have been friends forever and share an apartment in New York City. Their love for each other is something that can be regarded as that special unbreakable bond that can - sometimes - be described as a bond stronger than a marriage.

Will's best friend - for fifteen years and counting - Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) is an outrageously gay individual who has been a struggling actor since, well, forever! Jack is totally dependant on Will for financial and emotional stability.

Grace's wacky, pill-popping, high society assistant Karen Walker only works because it makes her seem "normal". She (Karen) describes Karen's outrageous remarks towards Grace as "work".

Overall, this is the birth of a television classic and one of the most revolutionary sitcoms ever! `Will & Grace' season one is a real gem. You can never experience a great a first season as this! Despite the fact that many people only caught on in season two and three, season one boasts some of the sharpest writing that ever embraced TV! The cast magnificently portrays their characters to the tea! In season one `Will & Grace' was one of the most critically acclaimed shows of the 1990's and the show was nominated for a lot of awards in season one and has won quite a few this season most notably the `People's Choice Award' for favourite new comedy series. Still going strong in the US and around the world. `Will & Grace' is one of those sitcoms that continue to garner praise from both the television industry (peers) as well as awards from around the world.

Season one (and every successive season) has had the same legendary, outstanding director, the one and the only James Burrows. The writers have remained faithful to the show throughout these seven years - thus far - that they have been on television.

Special Features:
Producers/ Creators Interview
Director Interview
Cast Interview
Themed Montages

This is definitely a series that tickles your funny bone again and again and again! It is one of those very rare shows that tend to continuously please and bring you out of those `Monday [and any day in fact] Blues'!

Summary: A Very Well Written Show

Summary: The best on TV since I Love Lucy and The Carol Burnette Show
Review: This hilarious establishment in TV history has everything a comedy fan could possibly want. And this first season on DVD of Will and Grace is just the thing us fans have been waiting for for a very long time. Will and Grace has the best half hour of television besides ER and FRIENDS (which is no longer in the running) and it shows us that to have a TV show doesn't mean it has to be "reality" tv. The characters of Will and Grace are believable, hilarious, and oh, did I mention hilarious? But, besides Will and Grace, there is also Jack and Karen. Karen is the emotionless, rich, loud-mouthed, jewelry flashing, clothing style, etc. DIVA of the series. She has everything to be absolutely gut-wrenching hilarious. And Jack is the flamer we all love and adore with all of his different-job-every-week antics and his slapstick personally, how could you not love Jack? But what makes Will and Grace a top-spot TV show is it's writers and the cast's ability to act and make all of us (the fans) laugh until we cry...it will be a sad event when the series comes to a close, in my opinion, even more so than FRIENDS. Great job guys, keep on making us laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazingly brilliant!
Review: I love this show! It's my favorite sitcom on TV! I get twice the laugh with this box set since I can watch the show in Spanish as well being that I'm bilingual. I have Season 2 as well and I can't wait for Season 3!
