Summary: 5 Stars
This is a little bit review and lot more information. I waited at the video store and ran in when it opened at 10:00am and grabbed my copy of this DVD. I've been a fan for years, so I couldn't believe they FINALLY got around to releasing Season One!!Here's the scoop on the DVDs:
First of all, the DVD packaging is VERY WELL done. It's a multiple fold-out, single piece case and has each character depicted on one of the four discs. The still photos on the inside let us remember some of the funnier scenes. Each disc has the episode name, air date and a brief description of the episode. NBC, Komut Entertainment and 3 Sisters should be VERY proud of the presentation.

Movie Review: IT IS ABOUT TIME
Summary: 5 Stars
i have waited for a long time to finally get this series on dvd. granted i am writing a review based on dvds i have not even seen yet, but i have so much faith in this show that i already know that the set will be awesome. for me this is the funniest show on television right now. all four of the major characters feed off of each other perfectly. notice how all the characters have special relationships with each other and how each one is unique. of course you have the will and grace relationship which seems to be the traditional gay guy straight girl relationship. then youhave will and jack which also seems like the typical gay guy and gay guy relationship. will and karen are hilarious together with their constant insults towards each other, these scenes are side splitting. then there is the karen and grace relationship which works so well also, and the reason being because that type of friendship doesn't really make a lot of sense but still seems to work. grace and jack's relationship is also quite funny because jack always seems to be making fun of grace in one way or another. but the funniest relationship in the show is found between jack and karen. the first time the two of them meet is classic. but it is also important to remeber that this is an ensemble cast and that as a whole they work perfectly together. three out of the four actors have not won emmys for nothing and the show has not won best comedy at the emmys for nothing either. the show has earned them and well deserves them also. i will be the first in line to buy this set of dvds and i know that i will not be disappointed. i really look forward to seeing the show without commercials because those are always such a drag. so it is about time that this quality show comes to dvd and i cant wait for the rest of the seasons to follow close behind.Movie Review: Maybe I'll wear it, maybe I won't.. But, uh maybe I will!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Will & Grace debuted in 1998 on NBC. Critics predicted that Will & Grace would run only one season, but America instantly responded to the 30 minute show with comedy packed into each minute. Since 1998, Will & Grace has been running on NBC, and just recently aired it's 100th show. I guess the television critics were wrong about Will & Grace.Will & Grace are play by Eric McCormack, and Debra Messing as Grace. Jack (Will's eccentric best friend) is played by award winning Sean Hayes. Grace's inappropriate rich assistant (and friend) is play by Grammy award winner Megan Mullaly. These four core-characters give compelling comedic performaces, and couldn't have been cast more appropriately. Shelley Morrison (who plays Rosario) a fiesty Salvadorian maid (to Karen) is often not mentioned in addition to the four main actors, but Shelley Morrison is a wonderful actress as well, that certainly spices up any comedic scene.
So, now that you all have the vital facts on the history of Will & Grace. I'll go into some other important details. Will & Grace is often labeled a comedy (and which it is) but Will & Grace occassionally tackles some tough issues (with a twist of course)sexuality acceptance, marriage, commitment, losing loved ones, the discrimination between gays and straight communities, all these have been brought up on Will & Grace more than once. I think that in addition to being a comedy that everybody could seriously learn something from Will & Grace. So, whether or not you're looking to learn a valueable lesson, or just laugh histerically, I reccommend Will & Grace all the way. Do yourself a favor and have this DVD on your shelf somewhere, even if to save it for a rainy day.
Movie Review: Honey, I thought we talked about that outfit...
Summary: 5 Stars
Grace, what's with the outfit, you look like a crazed housewife from one of the square states!....I can't believe how great this show is--and to have it on DVD!! I got it as a gift from NBC.com--I would wait and buy it on amazon, it's much cheaper!! Not only do you get all of the first season episodes--but the "themed featurettes" special feature is to die for. It's a series of 8 montages of clips from the first season grouped into different categories. It's almost as much fun watching these as it is watching each of the epidodes.It's also GREAT to have W&G and not have to wait for commercials! The shows are the perfect length for when you are having a bite to eat but don't want to get hooked on whatever happens to be on cable. But beware! The first season is super addictive!
Things to look forward to: the legendary first meeting of Jack and Karen (where they touch tummies for the first time "I had no idea you'd be so--"kitten-with-a-whip" "Shoes? Chanel. Fabulous! I know!"); Rosario's first epidsode; the unveiling of "Just Jack"; Molly Shannon's first turn as the crazy luna-chick "Val" ("You funny lady--and you gay fella!"); the fantastic episode where the group goes camping ("I don't know Will, at night I like to "spramp" a li'l gardenia on for Stan..."); Debbie Reynolds' debut; the list goes on and on.
Even though this show is in syndication, it's a must have on DVD. You can pick and choose when and how you want to laugh your butt off!!
Movie Review: A fabulous foursome!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
FINALLY!!! Its about time that one of the best sitcoms in television history be released on DVD for its growing number of fans. This tv series ranks with my other comedy favorites (Seinfeld, Frasier and Friends) as some of the best laughs on television. Sporting the best ensemble cast since Seinfeld, Will and Grace started out of the gate with edgy humor, great writing and built momentum over the first season to become a breakout hit for NBC. Eric McCormick, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and, my personal favorite, Megan Mullally, make each episode look effortless. The chemistry between this foursome was instant and only grows stronger with each season. This dvd set gives us the first 22 episodes of this groundbreaking comedy and introduces us to recurring guests such as SNL's Molly Shannon, as crazy neighbor Val and Debbie Reynolds, in a hilarious turn as Grace's mother. We also meet, for the first time, Karen's maid played by the very talented Shelly Morrison. This is a MUST HAVE for any W & G fans. If you haven't seen the show, this is a great way to start. The dvd has a few extra features, such as cast interviews and themed featurettes. I enjoyed the extras but I hope there are more special features in upcoming season dvds. It would have been nice to see out takes, interviews with guest stars, etc. This is a great show and well worth adding to your dvd collection.
