'Will and Grace': Do Not Resuscitate

'Will and Grace' is over. And by "over" I mean, DOA, finished, kaput. The show isn't funny anymore, or not much of it anyway.



Last night's episode was about as flat as Grace's chest -- oh sorry, that joke has been milked to death. The cowboy boyfriend/bar storyline was a bore, and the anti-racist schtick came off like, well, schtick.

What happened to this foursome I used to love so? Is it me or is it them -- it's them, right? 

The show still has its moments. I still like both Will and Grace. Jack and Karen are still particularly wickedly good at times. Rosario, and closet-case, sissy-galore Beverly Leslie, *are still* hysterical. But the show as a whole is less than the sum of its parts.

There are about eight episodes left. I'll watch them. It's practically my duty as a gay. After that, it's over. It's sad, but sometimes you know when it's time to say goodbye. And it's time. 

Here are three outstanding questions I have:

· Will Jack and Will end up together after all? Leatharegee thinks so.

· Will Jack do a spin-off? Hollywood.com says Hayes has cold feet.

· Is a reunion movie coming? Best.Gay.Week.Ever. has three sarcastic titles to suggest.

Your thoughts?

I would just like to say this article sucked.  I agree the show has lost some of its vigor, but it's still great.  And that joke about Karen's chest, that didn't even make sense.  It's Grace that has a flat chest.  Karen has a great chest.  She's one of the hottest older chicks ever!  I'd do her.  Anyway, why make such horrible remarks about a show that has been so great for the gay community for the past 7-8 years.  This show has captivated even the straightest at heart.  If you are going to be "hatin" on something, pick a straighty show.
