    Great to see them together again!

    As one review said, the humor does feel like they're trying too much at times, but it must have been awkward for them as well to play together after so many years.

    It's been 11 years and everything has changed. I just wanted to say that people shouldn't be so harsh and base opinions regarding the new season solely on one episode. I'm sure that acting, humor and their on-screen chemistry will get more natural over the episodes.

    All in all, good to have them back and I can't wait for more!

    To be expected

    It was nice to see the gang together again, but enough already with the politics! The rhythm for the most part was great and reminiscent of the good old days with the exception of Messing. She seemed stiffest and not just physically. I felt as if Messing was playing herself and soap-boxing for the Dems. Reminded me of the twitter feud she had Susan Sarandon last year.

    If they could drop that political heavy handedness it would be so much better.

    Also, missed Shelley Morrison.

    Possibly the worse episode to date

    I was super disappointed that instead of writing a good episode, they chose to write a political bash fest that just seemed horribly lame or forced. Also, the forced narrative to catch you up on what happened since the last episode was very rough draft. Horrible writing.

    I know the first time back they are going to have to find that groove again, but after watching the first few episodes again after this last night on Hulu it was obvious the cast had more chemistry the first episode they filmed than this.

    If it continues like this, the show won't be on long.

    Nice To See Them All Again

    When "Will & Grace" first came on I loved the show. However I think after Season 5 I no longer watched regularly because the stories were just stupid and I got very tired of the stunt casting. "Will & Grace" for awhile became "The Love Boat". Guest Stars came in and took away screen time from one our 4 leads. However from time to time I did watch. I was not however a fan of the last episode. I really didn't like that they ended the show with "Will & Grace" not speaking until there kids happen to go to the same college and got engaged. Tonights episode however cleaned up that mess and id a good enough job that I was happy to see "Will & Grace" again. Well no truth is I was happy to see "Jack & Karen" again.

    This season premiere was great. It set up the show and delivered the laughs. It had its own past to live up to and it succeeded. This show did a better job in its new inception than "Twin Peaks".

    I am so looking forward to next week. Welcome Back "Jack & Karen"

    Was this show this bad 11 years ago?

    Was this show this bad 11 years ago? I remember I wasn't a regular viewer but the old show had it's moments.

    The Will and Grace reboot is absolutely painful to watch. Hack jokes that may have been edgy 11 years ago just seem forced, painful and out of time today.

    As we trudge through the heavy handed political commentary, which seems to be the entire point of this episode, you hope for something, anything, that is lighthearted and funny.
