although this show is one of my fave of all time, I agree with most of the assessment here. It feel apart shortly after Mutchnik left/Leo came on.

I actually liked Minnie Driver (esp. when the purse fell out) and Beverly Leslie (interesting about Joan, though). "Well, well, well, as I live and die..."

I didn't mind Woody as Nathan. It was a nice arc. Leo just was trying to hard to be funny and wasn't. It wasn't Harry Connick, it was the way he was written.

Cher was great; Joan was awesome and showed a side I hadn't seen. Molly Shannon was perfection, but by her third and fourth times, she was just about played out. Madonna was decent. Jackson and Lopez were ok, basically being themselves, though. Damon really shined, and I really think that's what ultimately got the guest star parade going...and ultimately killed the show.

My favorite episode is actually not particularly eventful. I think it was a season opener. Will is trying to decide whether to keep Jack or Grace as a roommate. LOL, one of the things that always made me laugh is how spacious the original apt. was and how NY tiny Grace's apt. across the hall was. ("Mr. Zamir!")

The great thing was how James Burrows directed every single episode from beginning to end. How rare is that? Such a musical director too. In the episode I mention above, close your eyes and listen to the rhythm of the scene where everyone's making their own breakfast.

The show had to have Will and Grace even though Jack and Karen were funnier. Small doses are best. "It's funny cause it's true."

I could talk about this show all day.

    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
