    Just what we don't need...

    This episode seemed tired and I was literally weary but relieved when it ended. I enjoyed the show back in it's day, but their time has come & gone. I felt as though I was watching a comedy spoof of CNN. I fully expected Rachel Maddow and Alec Baldwin to appear as characters. Honestly, Debra Messing using the good 'ol Cheetos joke (which the public has heard over & over & over) plus the "Make America Gay Again" hat just landed flat. It came across as trying to hard to be funny but simply not able to bring it to fruition. Nope; I gave the first episode my attention...30 minutes I'll never get back....my bad, time is a terrible thing to waste. Moving away from the "been-there" "done that" "heard it 100+ times already political rhetoric, the story line was simply lame. The characters are too old not to have moved on a bit...the story should have at least been set in a different scenario...the same old, same old after a decade is dull and boring...e.g., no one would recreate "Friends" and have them reiterating their 20-something lifestyle at the age of 45+, e.g., coffee shop rendezvous and ridiculous dates. Having Jack portray an emotionally, immature 25 yr old now that he is 40+ comes off as weird & creepy. I love Karen!! Love her...she needs her own show -- please! The other three - not so much.

    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.

    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.

    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"

    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.
