WILL & GRACE SEASON 5(1998)

every scene he's in, unless Karen is there, then they
steal them together!!!
I'm not a huge fan of this series, but bought it because

of humor, but just not enough!

Reviewer From IMDb.com:
The old series was excellent. Groundbreaking for its
time, not just because 2 lead characters were gay, but
for its intelligent wit. Like Cheers before it, it raised
the bar for sitcoms.
But the reboot lost me after a week or two. I disliked
it from the beginning, because they did away with everything
from the great finale of the first run. Didn't like the
retcon; wish they had figured out a way to do it while
keeping everything from the first finale. - hughjman
