  I honestly loved the show. Loved the comedy. Loved the story. Loved Will Truman.
  
  Every time I'd see him I'd be like, "oh bby oh bby."
  
  
  He's on my want list for sure.
  
  Also liked Karen. Hilarious tequila.

  LOVED the will & grace characters, could tolerate the karen character, the jack character was damn annoying.

  I've never really watched the show, but wrestlervic was right- you are much much hotter than whats-his-face.

  I liked it at first, but as time wore on it was clear how shallow the lead characters were.

  I didn't love the show
  
  Jack and Karen were like pulling teeth ( not that i've ever had any pulled)
  
  Some episodes were more likeable than others

  I can't remember where I heard it first, but I recall someone saying that in order to make gay characters palatable (read: non-offensive) for a "mainstream" (ie. straight) audience, they are generally portrayed in one of two ways: the eunich (Will) a character who is romantically inert (no bf, no physically romantic scenes, no post-coital scenes) that it is hard to think of him as gay; and the jester (Jack) a character so over-the-top (ie. the stereotypical flaming queen) -- in both cases, it desexualizes the character and makes him a non-threat to traditional values/mindsets. As gay men, we can get the in-joke (there are many great one-liners from all the characters) -- but do straight people, even the ones who consider themselves well-versed with "the gays"?

  I thought the ending was spot on. She finds someone, they suddenly have less in common. It wasn't a happy ending in a stereotypical way, but it was a realistic one. A brave move by the writers instead of some awful Friends type ending.

  I have all 8 season's on DVD, I don't see how any on can sit there and say anything bad about Jack, I mean COME ON! Jack and Karen made that dang show, lol. I always thought it should have been called, "Jack and Karen" not Will & Grace!

  I don't know about that.
  
  I think they were like chocolate milk. Sure they're super awesome, but after a while it makes you feel kind of sick.
  
  I did love them though. Jack tended to get on my nerves though, but that doesn't seem to be an exception.

  Eek! Yeah I know what you mean about the Chocolate milk thing, too much would have been horrible, but they always seemed to give the right amount for me, just enough to where I thought about filling my glass up one more time! lol..
  
  As for Will, his jokes always fell short, and he is straight in real life too, so that hurt him in my book.. But he was a pretty good gay man on television! lol

  I thought the show was well-made, but wildly uneven. The first season or two were entertaining, but I thought the middle years it just became a bitch-fest. I thought the characters were just cruel to each other. Why would these people be friends? They seemed to pull back in the last few seasons. There were times I enjoyed all the stunt casting they began to do, and other times there was a big disconnect. Matt Damon playing a straight guy pretending to be gay in order to join a Gay Men's Chorus was a great episode.

  I felt frustrated that this was how gay people were needed to be portrayed as in order for people to find them in a show acceptable.
  
  The female with the high pitch voice was funny though, and the other female that acted like a reincarnated Lucille Ball. The kind of humor she did reminded of the kind of humor from 'I Love Lucy'.
