Will & Grace: Season 8

Should of stopped at 7

Over eight seasons the writers of 'Will & Grace' provided some genius moments of comedy, moments whose origins are hard to fathom even after repeat viewings.This show is right up there with 'Everybody Loves Raymond' as a classic of social commentary and observation, with a dash of madness thrown in.Having never seen this season on TV, the first episode was a bit of a shock - it was filmed 'live' with minimal editing and some mistakes from the cast left in. It was also filmed using the same type of film that daytime soaps use. At least one other episode gets this treatment over the course of the season and, after the initial surprise, it was a welcome addition to the W&G experience.I found the last show to be one of the best of its kind (again, as with 'Everybody Loves Raymond'). Unlike that criminally bad last Seinfeld episode, the writers of W&G kept their heads and combined the two key elements of the show. Veering a little more toward heart than comedy the end is very satisfying - no unrealistic plot twists, no last grab at self parody, just taking the story to an intelligent, imaginative end.In between there is the usual mix of what makes W&G great. You have to admire the people who created this program and acted in it (including all the incredible supporting characters) for keeping it sharp as a tack all the way to the end.My favorite line of this season captures one of the things that I love best about the whole series - that swift change of direction in midstream:Karen to Jack: "I'm sorry honey, I don't know what it is today but your faggy little voice is going right through me."I highly recommend all eight seasons.

This presents my review of the entire series as I binge watched them.The series started OK. The characters were not over the top. They were kinda normal. But then after a couple of seasons the show tried to be more outrageous each episode. What came out of these character's mouths was embarrassing. It was shocking that network TV has this filth on it. But that is one reason I stopped watching TV long ago. The Karen and Jack characters are the most likeable as they are funny most of the time without bringing in politics, religion, etc. They don't put down people with abusive real world name calling like the Will and Grace characters did. Actually for a pro-gay show the Will and Grace characters perpetuated negative gay stereotypes in the way that they attacked the Jack character. Kinda ironic I guess. Over all the Jack and Karen characters are funny and make the show entertaining. I would say that the actor and actress who played them were very good actors. But unfortunately they are the vehicle for the most shocking comments here and there in the end, too. The Grace character was annoying from beginning to end. I found myself face forwarding through some of there lines as I couldn't stand here. She whined. She complained about everything. She was VERY selfish. VERY immoral. VERY into and creating the drama. I couldn't stand that character at all. She tried to be so "pro Jewish" but would say things like "Im a good girl. I went to church every Sunday." or some nonsense while she was . . . oh . . . contemplating having an affaire after the drama created over her husband having an affaire with another women. "Grace" was just a loser. We were told that the Will character was the most life-like and responsible. But one thing was annoying when he would look to the side and do some voice or irritating monologue like it was funny. It just look and sounded dumb. But if you subscribe to the idea that doing what society tells you to do (and think) is "responsible" then yes Will was. What gets me is these characters lied against each other, blamed people for their horrible actions, were promiscuous, and down right evil in some episodes but they are "role models" for the gay world or pro-gray straight world. Was this a joke? Were the writers/creators actually proving the conservative point with this show but the left was too dumb to get it? Or were the creators/writers so depraved that they don't see anything wrong with this bunch of terrible people? Also, the creators made all the heterosexual characters adulterers, mean, and abusive. It was the theme that gay was right and anything else was wrong. It was done in a comical sorta way but it was still there. All the plot lines were immoral. If you had a sense of morality there is no way you could watch this show and be OK. There was the one where the character was contemplating an affaire as if it was a reasonable idea to entertain. Actually there were several of these plots that repeated the same idea. It gets darker than this. I'm sure I would be blocked if I even stated the words. The one character is drug addict and alcoholic. There is mocking of AA. It was supposed to be funny. Goes without saying that there were anti-President Bush and VP Cheney comments in this show given it aired during their administrations. There were anti-Christian comments everywhere. It was just really a big cesspool of horrible characters.

Excellent merchandise and fast shipping. I will shop here again!

I love this series and every now and then I watch some episodes and it's like being with friends - neurotic friends that you may not have in real life - especially a wealthy alcoholic socialite but that's why I love the show so much. While the characters are so wildly different from people I know in my real life, they are written as if anyone could know them. The characters can be awful in their actions but they are so endearing that you can't just help watching episode after episode.

I love Will and Grace. Item was great and shopping was fast. Thanks!

Arrived as described

Will & Grace to me is one of the best tv shows ever!!! It touches a lot of emotions that friends share, be it gay, straight or otherwise. I also feel it was one of the best written shows as well. Each of the four characters play a huge role in each episode and in their own way are all the stars, not just the main two. I now have all eight seasons and find I can watch them repeatedly.

They do not play on any of my DVD players. Nor on my laptop. Since they were advertised on the Canadian version of Amazon, did not think that they were not playable in our zone

El show es de lo mejor, unas actuaciones geniales y sumamente divertirdas, Karen y Jack siempre sacando una sonrisa (o carcajada) con sus ocurrencias, de mis mejores shows que ya han finalizado, el producto llego en increíbles condiciones aunque sería genial que tuviera subtitulos!

I've been an avid viewer of Will and Grace for the past eight years and this season does not disappoint. From the opening live episode to the finale you will be laughing and crying.It's a credit to the writing and acting that you get drawn into this season. There is an emotional depth to it that really makes you relate to the characters and their situations. Plus as a fan of Megan Mullally it was great to see the softer side of Karen Walker.The Finale is fantastic, due to the small touches that culminate eight years, Kevin Bacon's guest appearance, Karen and Jack touching stomachs like they did in their first meeting, (their duet is fabulous, both are very talented... Megan's album is worth buying) and Will and Grace sharing a phone call about ER's George Clooney, just as they did in the beginning.A big thank you to all involved for making this season as good as all the others, if not better!

The final ever season of Will and Grace is sadly here, but I think the team have managed to produce an admirable final series which puts the like of Friends to shame.Season 8 is of a much higher standard than that of season 7 which seemed to lack in quality towards the end. All of the actors; Eric, Debra, Sean and Megan all perform to the highest standard this season and their characterisation is at its very best.What I admire most about their series is the two live episodes which were great to watch. Despite the fact Debra Messing (Grace) and Sean Hayes (Jack) laughed their way through bits of them, it made me realise how professional and great the four are at acting, and I think it also shows off the standard of Will and Grace as a TV Programme above all others.The DVD is packed with excellent extras, including my favourite Bloopers collection which, of course, has me laughing my socks off.The only downside for me of this series was the actual Finale. Aside from the fact that I didn't want it to end, I also felt the episode was slightly unrealistic for the characters (I won't ruin it for the people who have not seen it)... but it has some strong points, such as the mirrored actions to the pilot episode. Aside from the script of that episode, everything else about it was very good.So, we say Goodnight Gracie one last time, and Will and Grace box set 8 gets 10/10 from me.

I am a big fan of `Will & Grace'and I have seen every single episode several times and they always make me laugh. The scriptwriters of this series really did an excellent job. The actors are also excellent. If you want to relax and have a good time and a good laugh this is a product for you. Hope you will enjoy it.
