WILL & GRACE SEASON 8(1998)
The premise for this series is that Will is gay and
Grace is not! They wind up sharing an apartment after
the first episode! Their friend Jack pretty much steals
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
my beautiful wife is! Every once in a while there's a bit
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
