Will & Grace Is Coming Back At The Perfect Time, Unfortunately

... business. The show fits too neatly into the cultural landscape of 2017 to be left on the shelf. Rather than aging it, the show’s mean-spirited humor makes it perfectly suited to our times. Will & Grace is at its core a depiction of four wealthy white people who see themselves as entitled to deride every person unlike them because they’re gay or gay-friendly. It hits uncomfortably close to home at a time when many liberal-minded viewers are tempted to retreat into conclaves of the like-minded, forced to face the reality of how little they knew about America. This show, in its outsized and wild prejudices, assures the viewer that his own subtle prejudices are a normal part of life. It would have been an odd and queasy fit in the Obama era, when liberal viewers seemed more united under a shared platform and any entertainment that fell short of perfect intersectionality came in for widespread criticism. But as division flourishes, that piano theme ...

To A Vastly Different America

... home, and finally free. That’s why death, when it came, came so swiftly: The men who’d helped steer centuries of culture vanished off the map, at a rate you can’t even imagine today. America had gathered them all up, the best of them, and then spirited them away into the darkness the second they touched home plate. Look out your window, into the neighborhood: The people you see at the store, the people you see at the bar, the people you pass on the street, the people you invite into your bed. That is your life. They all add up to your family, your world, and to your life. And then they start dropping dead — imagine this, as strongly as you can — and nobody can tell you why, or when it’ll hit you, or what it will feel like, or what you can do to fix it. The apocalypse holds no intrigue or excitement for us, because it’s written in our bones: The world ended ...

Will & Grace Is Back. But Has Gay Life On Tv Left It Behind

... a brief reunion during the US presidential campaign, Will & Grace is to return for a new 10-part series , a decade after its conclusion. The welcome return of a sparkling and witty favourite of yesteryear? Or the desperate revival of an old sitcom designed to halt an inexorable slide in ratings and audience flight from network TV to Netflix. LGBT characters on TV will make up larger percentage than ever, study finds. Read more. While we could debate this either/or, cynic v optimist binary for ages, instead let us consider the wisdom of reviving a sitcom at all – even, or perhaps especially, one as beloved as Will & Grace. The benefits are clear – it’s an established brand. It’s the same reason that classic books are adapted time and again. But a revival also risks sullying the original. Catching a repeat of an episode by chance or browsing You Tube for clips is one thing – nostalgia is an anaesthetic against the pain of the ...

Why The Will & Grace Reboot Is Likely To Succeed

... isn’t betting the farm here. There’s one other tantalizing theory as to why NBC was able to get a Will & Grace reunion on the books. What if these new episodes of Will & Grace — whose existing library of some 200-odd episodes doesn’t currently have an online home — end up on a theoretical NBC-branded streaming service? While nothing has been announced — or even rumored — it’s hard not to imagine executives at NBC and parent Comcast looking at what CBS is doing with its CBS All Access streaming channel and wondering whether or not to launch something similar. If such a service came to be, NBC could easily put classic W&G episodes on this new service, and then add the new half-hours once they’ve run on TV. Or it could be even more bold. In the same way CBS is relying on past hits (The Good Wife, Star Trek) to power its original scripted programming for All Access, perhaps the first one or two episodes of the ...
