    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.

    Wow! Grandpa Jack!

    Hey, I'm 60 years old and I grew up with Star Wars. The great shows/movies you mature with you dream of coming back. When Star Wars The Force Awakens came out I was so excited I can't even tell you! I didn't care much for the prequels honestly. And sadly, TFA let me down and too much to much to explain now, but it did. Not because Han dies but other reasons. So we don't always get what we want, yeah?

    Then there's Will & Grace. I have enjoyed Will & Grace so far but episode 'Straight and Narrow' had me laughing out loud so much I coughed. Do you know that feeling? And, acknowledging the seriousness of the episode. Why mention Star Wars? When Will & Grace did their political episode on Youtube- I loved it and wanted more! ...and it happened! How cool is that? And as I said I have enjoyed the new series so far but last night's episode was dark, funny, tender and definitely Will & Grace!

    Commenters complaining of politics have never seen Will & Grace (maybe Russian Trolls). Will & Grace was a new thing back then, and people whining about fem gays, have no clue because for one- Will isn't, Jack is- that's how it is in real life and I know- I'm Trans. I have known straight and effeminate Gay men and some in between. I'd be known as 'Transsexual' (post op) back when, but now everything is Trans. I'll add I'm not sure making everyone 'Trans' is a good thing. There are so many variations in our community.

    Wonderful episode! I have been let down by many a return series/movie but Will & Grace really lives up to it's promise and I Thank You NBC and all the Cast for returning! A Dream Realized!

    P.S. After reading the previous reviews I have to say be suspicious. These days you can't trust what you read- even my own words. I will say lastly if you were a fan of Will & Grace you are no doubt happy with it's return. If you are out to create chaos, lie and fabricate false reviews good luck to you. We will see through you and still embrace Jack and Co.

    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.

    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!

    What have they done? This show isn't even remotely funny anymore.

    I'm sorry, this is a sad moment.

    I have watched 3 episodes so far of the new 2017 season, and I'm done.

    I have watched all the other episodes of all the seasons at least 4 times now. The old WAG is my favorite show ever.

    This new one, it's not. The actors are like trying to be an imitation of themselves, the acting, the plot, the jokes, the laughs of the audience, it's so bad I can't even .... please, just horrible.

    Grace looks extremely unlikable, it's like everything is fake about her, even her acting.

    I tried very hard and was ready to laugh very hard, instead I was watching the clock, to see when the suffering would be over...

    I understand people need and want to make money but this is a complete waste, it's so bad. I'm done. Bye WAG, thank you for the old seasons, let me just forget this new 2017 season ever happened.
