WILL & GRACE: 25 YEARS LATER

The Paley Museum in New York is celebrating one of our all-time favorite TV shows, Will & Grace, on the 25th anniversary of the series debut- and the namesake stars are still lookin’ GOOD! Besides watching taped interviews with stars (Eric McCormack and Debra messing, above, and Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally) museum visitors can take photos in Will’s recreated living room,  examine original props and costumes, and re-watch landmark episodes. Keep in mind, this event is to celebrate the positive impact the diverse characters on this series had on future LGBTQ+ representation on TV. Too bad costar Leslie Jordan is no longer around to join the fun…

LET’S GIVE WILL & GRACE A HUGE FINALE

Whatever you do, don’t let pandemic malaise cause you to miss the final episode of Will & Grace tonight. (We’re glad someone reminded us) It’s such a special series – anyone who worked and lived in New York (or wanted to) in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and was gay or had gay friends, can happily identify with the characters. Such brilliant writers. We remember Jack cruising the men’s department in Bloomingdale’s -THAT’S how true to life this story was! The show ended in 2006 – before the economy crash when everyone lost jobs. Funny how this recent revival is ending at another traumatic time. Last chance to say goodbye to Will and Grace and Jack and Karen is tonight at 9.

WILL & GRACE SHOW IS MORE CHARITABLE THAN IT SEEMS

We’re even MORE impressed with the new Will & Grace since we learned how much MONEY the show earns for charities: a million dollars since the Oct 1 season premier! According to The Hollywood Reporter, producers hand out tickets to their live tapings to various charities to auction off. The charities are happy and ticket buyers also get a chance to meet the cast. The show’s producer Max Mutchnick explains that in the ten years they were off the air “it’s who we have become.” Not only do they raise money for charity, but they get a very enthusiastic audience…

Eric McCormack Walk of Fame Will & Grace

ERIK MCCORMACK KNOWS WHO TO THANK

Sometimes you’re really HAPPY to see someone get a star on the Walk of Fame and that is the case with Will & Grace star Eric McCormack. He seems to be a truly nice guy and we’ve never heard a negative word about him. And his series has always been so relatable and a favorite of ours. The brains behind this always timely series, Max Mutchnick, was also at the ceremony today. Eric announced that he will be grateful to the LGBTQ community ”for the rest of my life” for accepting him in the role. Michael Douglas, who played a gay detective (Will’s love interest) on the show said “Dating Will is the gayest thing I have ever done – and I played Liberace!”

Will & Grace

GOOD NEWS! WILL & GRACE WILL NOT PICK UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF!

The Will & Grace series reboot (starting in September) is creating such a stir at NBC that not only did the network up the first season from 12 to 16 episodes, but they renewed it for a second year! On the series finale 11 years ago, Will and Grace were no longer friends and they had children. Fortunately, creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan realize that everyone loved the original Will and Grace as roommates and they plan to ignore that finale and brainstormed a way to have them living together again. So the new series will have all the best features of the original. And they WON’T be parents.

SEAN HAYES: JUST JACK IS ON HIS WAY BACK!

Sean Hayes is under the radar, shopping in Beverly Hills, while we are waiting anxiously for the new episodes of Will & Grace, set to film this summer. We though it was one of the best written sitcoms of all time – until it jumped the shark when Debra Messing got pregnant. How NBC managed to get the same cast, producers, and director back remains a miracle. Times have changed a lot since Jack was working at Bloomingdale’s, and new story lines abound.

Coming Out Long Time No See Will & Grace

WILL & GRACE TEN YEARS LATER

At last – some good news! The Will & Grace show IS coming back – for real. (At least 10 episodes!) It must have been SOME job getting the whole cast as well as the very important creative team on the same page at the same time. NBC pulled it off by having everyone resume their contracted salaries and the good deals they had when the show went off the air ten years ago. The show aired for eight seasons and we think it jumped the shark when Debra Messing got pregnant and her skinny character Grace had to conceal the weight gain. Can’t WAIT to see Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen again ten years later and find out what they’re doing NOW!

WILL & GRACE – TOGETHER AGAIN – AS DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Will & Grace is one of our all-time favorite comedy series, so we were delighted to hear that Eric McCormack is guest-starring on Debra Messing’s series “The Mysteries of Laura.” “Mysteries” didn’t bowl us over in the beginning, but seems to be improving. Eric, whose TNT show “Perception” was cancelled, will play an arrogant surgeon whose wife is murdered. He also happens to be Laura’s ex-boyfriend, and Laura is in charge of the investigation. (Is that ethical?) Anyway, we love the idea of seeing them together again.
