Must Retch TV - So, last night's episode of Will & Grace sucked. There were barely any laughs, the on-location shots in New York (with laugh track overlaid) were distracting, and the character interactions were pitiful. No one seemed to be acting like him or herself...I wondered if someone was going wake up from a bad dream. I resented the fact that Will became especially mincing when he learned that Grace had gotten married. He had a right to feel hurt that she acted so impulsively, but seemed like such an immature baby that she was "leaving him" after being "at his side for 15 years." Wait, wasn't Will supposed to have been in a long-term relationship for 7 years before the show began? Grace getting married doesn't destroy the show, but characters whose personalities change every week do. TV Guide has a nice synopsis, acknowledging the episode as a "drawn-out, laughless hour." And what was with the final shot of the episode, pulling away to a wide shot of a CGI earth? The shark has been jumped.
