The Start Of Something Special
Busy Body | London, England | 07/05/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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!"
I just adore Will & Grace!!

"Premiering in the Fall of 1998, Will & Grace has become one of the most celebrated shows of its time. Nominated for 49 Emmys, and winner of 12 (including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2000), the show follows the lives of two best friends who live together. With a plethora of other award nominations - 24 Golden Globes, 14 SAG Awards, and 6 People's Choice Awards, Will & Grace continues to light up the small screen with its unique brand of comic humor and groundbreaking sitcom format...

Debra Messing stars in the role of Grace Adler, a straight interior designer who moves into an apartment with her best friend Will (Eric McCormack). Friends since college, Will is a successful lawyer who also happens to be gay (thus, keeping their relationship from becoming a permanent romantic one). Having dated before Will came out of the closet, the two maintain a more intimate relationship than mere casual friends. The comic sequences involving the two are complimented by Will's flamboyantly gay friend Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) and Grace's sarcastic, alcoholic assistant Karen Walker (Megan Mullally)...

The Will & Grace (Season 1) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere "Love and Marriage" in which Grace, having received an unexpected marriage proposal from her boyfriend, decides to get married. Meanwhile, Will believes the marriage will be a mistake, and he decides to risk his friendship with Grace in order to tell her... Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "Between a Rock and Harlin's Place" in which Grace decorates Harlin's apartment, but gets carried away with a cowboy theme, and "The Big Vent" in which Will and Grace begin listening to their neighbors through a vent in their own apartment...
