In addition to good direction, "Will & Grace" has the attractive cast and snappy writing that most comedies never have the luck or skill to achieve. [18 Sep 1998]

A funny show that uses its cast to its fullest, but the screenplay writers are the deserving starts of the show. Very witty, very entertaining it leaves you with wanting and needing more and more. For a first season it is excellent and it makes great space for future seasons to come.
Debra Messing, as Grace, is excellent and is definitely the best one of the cast. Eric McCormack is the underused potential, as Will, but that is mainly due to his character - he's just not that funny.
Sean Hayes' Jack is brilliantly funny and refreshing as an over-the-top gay man. Mullally's transformation as Karen Walker is quite interesting and one can see that the character was being developed as the show went on and as the audience responded to her different character traits - she will definitely be much different and more prominent in the later seasons, for Mullally manages to take the best of her character and channel it brilliantly!

If "Will & Grace" has an agenda, it's so well hidden that it can't possibly get in the way of the comedy. [21 Sep 1998]

Sharply scripted, well acted and crisply directed by James Burrows, it makes comedy its main agenda, and reaches it with an authentic, matter-of-fact tone. [21 Sep 1998]

Kindness is the true beauty of Will & Grace, and it may be that kindness, in the midst of so much of the mean-spirited, demeaning stuff that passes for comedy on TV, will carry the day. [21 Sep 1998]

Its premise is humdrum, its two co-stars lack chemistry, and it seems essentially indistinguishable from most of NBC's other slipshod tripe. [21 Sep 1998]

Will and Grace is a good show- it's funny, the characters are fun, and, it's good to have shows with gay characters, considering we are still living in a time where homophobia is lurking everywhere. However, one thing that bothers me is how, the characters are fun on the show, but, in real life, I'd honestly find these people snooty and annoying. The references also feel obscure, making the viewer feel left out of a lot of jokes if they aren't especially well read.

I defiantly didn't like the first season, watch the pilot, so you can know the characters. Then start season 2 where it gets better.

I turned it off and stopped future recordings. I live poilitics 24/7 and wanted to escape into a light-hearted comedy. Instead, the writers brought poitics into the script! No thank you. The characters timing, delivery was good but the script ruined it!
