Summary: Didn't They Learn From Season One?
Review: Let me first say that I am a huge Will & Grace fan and will explain why I rated this DVD with only 3 stars. If you are interested in viewing hilarious and brilliantly written comedy episodes, then Season 2 will be a great purchase and will not disappoint. I, however, always look at the DVD extras. Will & Grace Season 2, as was the case with Season 1, could have really been "loaded with extra features" but, once again, this DVD is lacking. In fact, it's worse than the extra features in Season 1. On this DVD, there are themed featurettes on each disc which are truly well done. But, why are there no interviews with the cast, the producer, the director? Why aren't there any outtake featurettes? I'm sure we ALL would have loved to see bloopers by Will, Grace, Jack, Karen and even Rosario. There must have been tons on the cutting room floor. Even humorous mistakes (which I'm sure there were) by guest stars would have been fun to include too. As cleverly put together as the themed featurettes are, having only them on each disc is a bit redundant.

Also, I did notice that the listings on the jacket describing the contents of the discs is inaccurate. For example, according to the jacket, the themed featurettes are supposed to only be on disc 3, but, in fact, they're on each of the 4 discs. As well, disc 4's episodes do not follow in cronological order. In other words, the season finale is the very first episode on the disc. What's that all about?

I'm not impressed at all with the production of this DVD and you will not be either. I only hope they'll learn from Season 2 because they obviously didn't from Season 1. Perhaps Season 3 will be so incredibly "loaded with extra features" we'll forgive them and forget about this one. Go ahead and purchase Will & Grace Season 2 for it's sidesplitting comedy, but if you're looking for the "loaded with extra features" you won't find it here...trust me.

Summary: Mean-spirted and vulgar humor
Review: Mean-spirted and vulgar humor, tasteless jokes, and shallow, petty friends. Welcome to one of the shows that has contributed substantially to the decline of quality on American television. The reality show participants (Survivor, Bachelor, etc.) can hardly be worse than the sterling characters on Will & Grace. I have friends who used to watch Will & Grace, but they just kept pushing those boundaries. Soooooo Hollywood.

Summary: They're here, They're Queer, Get Used to It!!
Review: One of the best-written TV shows ever is now available on DVD!
From the creators of "Friends" comes a series about Will Truman & Grace Adler. Two best friends, two people who share the same past and who are perfect for each other. The twist in our story is that Will is gay and Grace is straight.
So when Grace asks Will if he agrees with her decision to marry her boyfriend Danny, and he says no, begins a story that has made us laugh for over 5 years now.
Will and Grace live in New York, and as well as their best friends. Jack , a flamboyant gay man who changes men like shirts, considers himself a "showman" and lives with money Will and his mother. And of course, my personal favorite character, Karen, a spoiled and lazy rich and glamorous woman,with drinking and other kind of ddiction problems who always comments on Grace's clothing choices, "works" for Grace, although as Grace comments " Karen would prefer to chew her own foot than do an honest days work".
In season 2, we have Grace moving out from Will's apartment to the one next door,Jack producing his new show "Jack 2000", and Karen as always, doing her usual stuff.
Jack has moved to Karen's apartment since in the end of the previous season he married her housekeeper and close "friend", Rosario.
I wouldn't wanna reveal more, 'cause one picture is like a thousand words.
Buy the DVD now!!!

Summary: A Terrific Package of Entertainment
Review: The content of this 4 DVD package is without question, some of the funniest, and superb comedy ever seen on television.. and nearly everyone agrees this is a treasure box. YES, the content is out of order, and perhaps there are some factual errors on the box...... BUT... I must say, as a graphic designer, the actual DESIGN and PACKAGING of this set is very beautiful and, like SEASON 1, was beautifully laid out with a thoughtful presentation. I CANNOT give this set bad marks for content or appearance... and the blunders on the info and show order still does not pull down the plusses. This is a MUST have for any good collector of terrific television and tasteful side-splitting comedy and the PICTURE, COLOR, SOUND, and QUALITY in reproduction is first rate. Bravo NBC.

Summary: Great episodes! So-so DVD
Review: The episodes are classic.(...) Many events happen in season two: Grace moves out of Will's apartment (across the hall). Jack moves in with Karen & Rosario. Will loses his job, but finds another. I won't list synopses of episodes, because a more diligent fan has listed them below. This DVD is worth the excellent price on Amazon. It's simply hilarious and makes good weekend watching. However, there are a few problems with the DVD. As for special features, there are no commentaries and no bloopers, only the themed featurettes which include scenes from the episodes. The featurettes are indeed funny, but when you've seen all the episodes, they lose their luster. The DVD box list of episodes is wrong - the first episodes of discs 2, 3, and 4 are actually the last episodes on discs 1, 2, and 3. And on disc 4, the episodes are out of order (they appear to be backward). This isn't that big of a deal, as you can watch them in order if you choose, but I was surprised when I pressed "Play all" to find that the last episode was first (I hope that makes sense). You'd think that NBC or Lions Gate would have found those mistakes before releasing the DVD.

Let's face it - we buy these DVDs for the convenience of watching episodes whenever we choose. I would have enjoyed bloopers, interviews, and commentaries, but Will & Grace shines on it's own. The episodes are 5-star, but the DVD itself is only 3 (because of the mix-ups and the lack of bloopers and commentaries which I was led to believe would be on this set). If you're a of fan high-brow (and low-brow) comedy, buy this DVD. I've rarely laughed harder.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: The Season 2 DVD box set of "Will & Grace" was released on March 23rd. The 4-disc set includes all of the season 2 episodes along with 12 featurettes. Previously specified outtakes and commentary tracks were not included. The set also contains numerous print errors and mastering errors. Errors include: mis-aligned cursor graphics in the menus on 16x9 televisions; incorrect episode order (particularly Disc 4); featurettes are spread across all 4 discs - not on disc 3 as printed; one-hour season finale split into two episodes rather than shown as originally aired (and are the first 2 episodes on Disc 4); episodes not on the disc specified in the print; episodes missing content aired in the original broadcast ("Ben? Her?" Part 1 is missing a line, while Part 2 has a rather large edit at the beginning); front cover is mis-printed with "Loaded With Extra Features." On a positive note, the season as a whole has many top-notch episodes.

Summary: False Advertising
Review: This DVD is a case of false advertising. Even if you disregard the promotional hype that the Second Season Edition contains "Outtakes" and "Commentaries", the cover of the box set proclaims it is "Loaded With Extras". It is loaded all right, but not with extras. It is loaded with mistakes and printing errors. And no "Commentaries" or "Outtakes". There is no excuse for a DVD Video company to be so careless with their product. Indexes and menus are intended to help the viewers navigate the programs, not hinder them. Criticism aside, I bought this box set because I am a fan of the show. The episodes are funny and entertaining, even if the final product is not. Shame on NBC Home Entertainment. You are a disappointment.
