Will & Grace - Isn't syndicated television a great thing? Allowing you to go back in time, catch up on any episodes you may have missed and appreciate the growth and changes a show has made over the years. With Will & Grace airing twice daily in many markets now, we've got a quick reminder of how we arrived at the current dismal season.
The melodramatic turns centering around Grace's relationship with Leo have seemed forced (and could Harry Connick Jr. be any more wooden?) Her last serious relationship, with Woody Harrelson's Nathan at least seemed to have some spark and potential for actual humor. Last week's get-drunk-to-meet-the-parents episode was not a high point. And now, Grace is getting engaged and married in one episode? Obviously, she either can't go through with it or Leo needs to join Doctors Without Borders for an extended trip for the titular theme of the show to remain relevant.
On the other hand, I appreciate the acknowledgment that Will is too old to wear an A&F sleeveless tee. (This storyline should be required viewing for aging circuit bois everywhere). I actually do like Jack's new potential storyline and could see him becoming a successful teacher, even whilst giving terrible advice to his students. I especially enjoyed his advice to certain male students to remove their shirts. But the previous week's episode with Gene Wilder was almost painful to watch. So, I guess we'll see on tonight's Very Special extended episode exactly where they intend to carry things for the rest of the season.
