YES when i unfortunately saw the odd 10 minutes on occasional nights, i was cringing.. like i did when i saw the office, but not for the same reasons. the office = great will & grace = shite i thought.. this show wont last another week.. but it has... please take it away from the screen. its shite, and has never been funny and is CRAP. its shite |

15 Aug 04 - 10:06 PM (#1248307) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: Cluin I guess some people must find it a funny show since it hasn't been cancelled yet. A gay guy and his friend and the fag hags who love them. Fairly unfunny, most of it. A lot of self-indulgent claptrap. Same thing with "Dharma & Greg". And "Friends" (though the first season had some moments). But I liked "Seinfeld"... go figure. |

16 Aug 04 - 01:37 PM (#1248744) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: PoppaGator I can't stand Will & Grace, and resent the implication that this makes me a homophobe. I have had plenty of gay friends, co-workers, clients, etc. over the years (I live in New Orleans, after all), and they're not all entralled with that annoying sappy campy humor that characterizes W&G. Gag me with a spoon! Hell, I'll even confess to enjoying "Queer Eye," and would volunteer in a minute for one of their queer makeovers. I'll take the $5 grand's worth of clothes, furniture, gourmet food, and CDs that they seem to give away to each subject. No way I'd ever spend my own money on a good Italian suit, for example, but I could probably convince those guys that I "need" one . The day after they left, of course, I lose all the hair- and skin-care "product," and maybe the most flamboyant item or two of clothing. Might also see if I could trade in some of their recommended CDs for stuff I would have chosen myself. I am a fan, more or less, of Harry Connick Jr., who was a semi-regular on W&G for a year or so before being written out of the script. (Maybe if the series is just starting in the UK, you Brits won't see him for another year or two.) His character actually married Grace, but being hetero, he apparently didn't have what it took to hold her perverse interest. |

31 Aug 04 - 09:49 AM (#1260673) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: Roger the Skiffler Herself enjoys it so I have watched it BUT... it seems a one-joke show , the joke has run out and the gay characters seem to have no topic of conversation other than gay concerns. None of my gay friends talk like that. However, everyone in US sitcoms talks in snappy one-liners like Woody Allen or Groucho Marx! I find "Grace" too twee for words (pass the sick bag Alice)and as for "Karen"'s silly voice....spoils some of the good lines she gets. Now when it comes on I go and do the washing up!

13 Sep 04 - 06:19 PM (#1271466) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: PoppaGator Both Seinfeld and Letterman, I believe, require a high sense of irony to be appreciated. The two shows don't necessarily play to the exact same sensibility, but there is quite a bit of common ground. Familiarity with contemporary US foibles, vs a lack thereof, might also be an important factor. For those who *like* the Seinfeld series, you'll probably really enjoy Larry David's HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the early seasons of which are now available on DVD. Larry was co-creator of "Seinfled" (with Jerry Seinfled, of course), and the real-life model for the character George Costanza. I thoroughly enjoy all three of the above, but have no need to (nor hope of) converting the unimpressed. Letterman, in particular, is such a long-familiar character by now -- like an old family friend who visits our living room most weekday evenings -- that I'm usually ready to laugh at just about any stupid thing he starts to talk about. |

13 Sep 04 - 06:30 PM (#1271478) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: robomatic I'm amazed that anyone gets Seinfeld, it's too New York-ish and neurotic, but I guess it broke new ground. Pretty much anyone in that show was strange and unlikeable, and the plots when they had any were driven by the most neurotic character of all. Letterman survives by quirkiness and the Top Ten. He also broke new ground, then planted himself in it. The greatest show of the last decade and then some is hands down The Simpsons. They 'get' Americans and they've had fun with the Brits, Ozzies, Canadians, and Japanese. How about the dentist who scares his young kids into braces by showing them "The Big Book Of British Smiles"? South Park is not for everyone, but it is f&%king brilliant, offensive in all directions, and takes no prisoners. And I'd still do Megan Mullaly |

13 Sep 04 - 06:55 PM (#1271497) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: GUEST Nope don't get the Simpsons either. It is aired early evening in Uk so have only caught glimpses, but it just seems like a bunch of shrieking kids cartoon characters. Is it for kids or adults? But it does have a following here. Southpark, nope again. I suspose we have been spoilt by decades of intelligently well written and acted comedy. |

13 Sep 04 - 10:09 PM (#1271633) Subject: RE: BS: Is Will & Grace Shite? From: robomatic GUEST surely you jest. On this side western of the pond we watch all the best of Anglo television on our public broadcasting, but I've seen the regular stuff you guys watch and it isn't any better than our run of the mill stuff. Simpsons isn't for everybody, most of my friends do not let young children watch it. I didn't watch it for the first few seasons, and was much bemused by the enthusiastic Simpsonites who would corner me in the Supermarket and go on and on about the plots of the Simpsons. It took a couple years of watching and i became one of those headcases myself. "One more word out of you kids and Bart doesn't get dessert, and Lisa doesn't go to college!" "Shoplifting is a victimless crime - like punchin' somebody in the dark!" "Marge, I'd kill for you. Please ask me to kill for you!" "When he said that Monster Island was only a name, he meant it was actually a peninsula!" "You can train any dog with two magic words - 'choke chain'" |
