11 Years Later

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.

The hardest part about watching a show's revival is that it could go either way - on the one hand it could totally suck and spoil the memory of a once great show - on the other hand it could be a fantastic, welcome return of a production that makes superb quality viewing. This is teetering precariously toward the former.

I watched whilst desperately trying to enjoy it, & without any major expectations, but all the while there was this thought in the back of my mind telling me it's had its day.

It is watchable, but despite their best efforts to be modern & up- to-date by including current pop-culture colloquialisms and references, this still felt rather dated.

Hopefully WAG may settle down, find its way and perhaps try not so hard to be so 'woke' in future episodes.

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.

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.

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.
