Binge Worthy TV – Will and Grace

Ever heard of Will & Grace? It’s been canceled twice, and spans a decade and some. A show that came out in 1998, Will & Grace used to consist of eight seasons and a finale, with the eighth season airing in 2006. Eleven years after it was canceled, the show returned. Will & Grace (‘17) had three seasons, airing between 2017 and 2020 before the show was canceled once again. Intrigued yet? Here’s an overview of the show:

Will Truman (Eric McCormack) and Grace Adler (Debra Messing) have been best friends since college. Will is gay and Grace is straight, although Grace has the “power” to turn straight people gay because every man she dates ends up wishing that he was gay after they break up. Will and Grace live together in New York City, where Will is a lawyer. However, when he decides to quit his job, Will begins to work with Grace, a designer with her own company, Grace Adler Designs. Other fun characters in this show include Grace’s assistant, Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes).

after all. Karen, married to Stanley Walker, ends up facing some drama with her husband in later seasons, but I’ll save you from any spoilers! For now, Karen and Stan are living happily in a mansion, being waited on hand and foot by their staff. Karen is especially close to one maid. Rosario Salazar came from El Salvador to the U.S. because Karen “ordered” her. Rosie’s relationship with Karen adds humor and sarcasm to the show.

Will, Grace and Karen are best friends with Jack McFarland, who is also gay. Jack makes huge random entrances into Grace and Will’s apartment, acting as the comic relief. Jack is full of energy and is funny. He and his husband, Estefan, got married in an airport! Half the guests that were there were just people waiting for their flight, but when an announcement came on the PA system about the change in the flight gate, they left. This is just one of the many laugh-out-loud moments that make this show worth watching.

So, buckle your seatbelts and jump on board this wild rollercoaster of laughs and drama. See you at the end of the ride!
