Summary: A fabulous foursome!!!!
Review: 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.

Summary: One of the best comedy sitcoms
Review: This is a compilation of the first season episodes of the multi Emmy winning hit TV sitcom "Will And Grace". This stars Debra Messing, Eric McCormick, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally. When the first episode aired in 1998, there was no other show like it. It remains ahead of its time to this day. Every script forces the audience's laughter to explode line after line. Its unique storyline and its many surprising events give the audience the unforgettable experiences. It's great that the producers can create a series dealing with homosexuality, a virtue that many unfortunately do not accept, and add some light to it. A few years ago, few other projects featured this.

Those who didn't watch the first season will get a chance to see Will and Grace's lonely days before living together, Karen speaking in her low voice, and of course, Jack being Jack. This features some of the episodes that have influenced many modern day sitcoms and movies. Such combination makes this compilation worth the buyers' money. Fans of this show should also watch for Season Two to be released in the near future.

****Watch "Will And Grace" every Thursday on NBC at 8:00 PM central time.

Review: This is one of my favorite sitcoms, and it deffinetly starts slow but slowly eachc charecter develops and creates its own humor, each and every one of them is unique and hilarious, I like this sitcom a lot and I cant wait to have season 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's amazing! Wonderful!
Review: Even in Germany we love it! It's the best ever!

Summary: Astonishingly Overrated and Desperately Unfunny
Review: I've seen about three episodes of WILL & GRACE and I just don't get it. The weakest SEINFELD is still better than what I've seen. Debra Messing comes off as mental and her desperate need to be friends with Eric McCormack is just weird. I wonder what gays would do if SNL or any other comedy show resorted to the stereotypes seen here.

I've also noticed that the studio audience--whoever they are--completely over-do their laughter at times, as if they were making a political statement instead of enjoying a good laugh.
Does anyone else notice that?

Summary: Let's Touch Stomachs!
Review: First seasons are probably the most interesting, as you can watch the show try to find its footing and notice subtle changes from episode to episode (note Will's hair after the pilot, or Grace's office).

And what's not to love about Will & Grace?
* There is the original humor with its brilliant gay undertones (my favorite line "let's touch stomachs").
* The unique characters that if taken in isolation would seem a little overdone, but together form a beautiful tapestry of friendship that play off each other's quirks and weaknesses.
* Of course there is the fashion, all the pop culture references, and that warm fuzzy feeling your are left with at the end of an episode knowing you just spend 25 minutes in good company!

I can't wait for the subsequent seasons to be released on DVD and watch the show taken on more substantive issues. But as a first season this is a worthy introduction to a very worthy show!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I just adore Will & Grace!!
Review: This happens to be my favorite TV show. I love everything about Will & Grace, and let's not forget Jack and Karen! Here are the episodes from the first season:

1. Pilot
2. A New Lease On Life
3. Head Case
4. Between a Rock and Harlin's Place
5. Boo! Humbug
6. William, Tell
7. Where There's a Will, There's No Way
8. The Buying Game
9. The Truth about Will and Dogs
10. The Big Vent
11. Will on Ice
12. My Fair Maid-y
13. The Unsinkable Mommy Adler
14. Big Brother is Coming, Part I
15. Big Brother is Coming, Part II
16. Yours, Mine & Ours
17. Secrets & Lays
18. Grace, Replaced
19. Will Works Out
20. Saving Grace
21. Alley Cats

A couple of my favorite Episodes are Boo! Humbug, when Jack gets dressed as David "Hutch" Soul of Starsky and Hutch and Karen gets dressed as the Cat Woman and they go to the Halloween parade in the Village filled with drag queens, it is hilarous!! Another great episode is Grace, Replaced. Will starts hanging out with Val, a neighbor played by Molly Shannon, while Grace is consumed with work. Grace starts to feel like she's being replaced by Val and fights her to win Will back.

I can't wait for the next four season's to come out on DVD. This series is a keeper.

Summary: Superb Television Comedy of the Best Kind
Review: I am one of those who never saw this sitcom until the past year.... mainly because I detest commercials that constantly break the mood of what I am watching. Thank goodness a friend of mine told me to purchase this set which is the beginning of the series from 1999. This is some of the funniest and most endearing television comedy I have ever seen. I rate this among the best... and to see it without the commercial breaks is fantastic. The packaging on this volume is beautiful, and obviously time was taken to make it attractive and classy... and it shows. The clarity of picture and sound is wonderful. An easy 5 stars... and I can hardly wait for Season 3 to be on the shelves, since I immediately bought Season 2 after buying this one. Its just as marvelous.
