The eighth and final season of Will & Grace begins with a live episode and ends with a bittersweet finale that gives the disgruntled characters some hard-earned closure. At its heart, the sitcom isn't about a gay man and his best friend. It's about two friends who need each other as much as they think they do, who are unable to break away from each other--even if that means putting their relationships with others at risk. As selfish as the characters on Seinfeld and as chatty as the ones on Friends, Will (Eric McCormack), Grace (Debra Messing), Jack (Sean Hayes), and Karen (Megan Mullaly) are as obnoxious as they are lovable. And the actors who play them share warm chemistry, which makes even the meanest digs come across as acceptable. This final season ends with each of the main characters partnered up with their true loves; and it feels right, even if it's not what viewers may be expecting. Two of the 23 episodes--which originally aired during the 2005-2006 season on NBC--are live. While it's fun to watch the actors occasionally flub their lines or laugh at each other's antics, the episodes are not the strongest of the bunch. The final season actually gets off to an uneven start before picking up steam about a third of the way in. Featured guest stars include a hilarious Alec Baldwin reprising his role as secret agent Malcolm, who has fallen in love with Karen. He utters sweet nothings to her such as, "When I kill myself, it's going to be for real. And I'm taking you with me." Other high-profile guest stars includes Taye Diggs as a hot romantic interest for Will, Britney Spears as Jack's on-air nemesis, Wanda Sykes as a cosmetic counter girl who Karen convinces to be her baby mama, and Daryl Hall & John Oates as, well, Oates & Hall (as they've renamed themselves). There is a wedding, an annulment, at least two children born to the primary four and the possibility of a happily ever after scenario. The show ended at a good time: not quite at its peak but at least a season or two before you just wouldn't care anymore. But here, there are many moments that tug at your heart or make you laugh out loud. In one vignette, Karen looks on incredulously as Grace allows herself to be bullied into hiring an inept Iranian woman who uses her ethnicity to intimidate all around her. She's also as useless as Karen in getting anything done to help her boss. Tsk-tsking Grace's hiring decision after the new hiree destroys some of Grace's interior designs, Karen says, "I was just sitting there cleaning my gun thinking, 'This is an office!'" It's not the line she says that makes it so funny, but Mullaly's perfect delivery. Like the other cast members, she knows her character so well that she breathes life into even the simplest lines. --Jae-Ha Kim

 'Will' you please 'Grace' us with the last season?! July 28, 2008

Us die-hard WAG fans have been waiting long enough for the final season on DVD. Thank you for releasing! Looks like Christmas will come early for some of us. The finale was a little bit of a bummer, but overall the season was heeeelarious! I think my fave episode from this season has got to be the live one. When all of Karen's pills fell from the cabinet, I laughed so hard, I think a little pee came out. Thanks again for finally giving us a release date. And FYI, if the ladies from Sex and the City can do a movie...............
 IT'S FINALLY HERE! July 14, 2008

After soooo much waiting there is finally a set date for the release of Will and Grace season 8. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this series soooo much it's really funny, witty, and cleverly written. If you have never seen this series start at the beginning, this show is one that makes you immediately drawn to the characters solely based on their humor and wit. Like I said I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this series and I cannot wait to get the final season!!!
East & West Coast performances August 11, 2008

Quick question:
Will they include both east & west coast versions of the 1st episode and the one that takes place in Karen's bathroom (not sure which episode that is).
Hopefully the producers won't decide for the viewers which episode is the "official" version, rather include both versions for the hilarious subtleties.

Not as many episodes, some very funny ones, but for the most part, stories were a stretch. One gets the sense that the actors wanted one last opportunity to explore a different side of their character, unfortunately it wasn't funny. There were a lot of inside jokes in this season from episodes past, so loyal fans will enjoy that. All in all, I was sad to see it end, and I was even sadder to see it end like this.
