NBC is canceling "Will and Grace"

[joeybee12]

West Wing is also going at the end of this season. There's a West Wing thread in GD--no mention of W&G there.

1. I'm kind of glad on both counts

the west wing was a great show, but i think it's time was over, and better to let it go than to keep pretending. I'll be curious to see how it ends.

W/G had a great run, and I appreciate it as a ground-breaking show, but I haven't watched it in a while and haven't enjoyed it for quite some time. I was much sadder to see Queer as Folk's run on Showtime end :(

2. "Will and Grace"

are not really being canceled. They are leaving on their own because they think it is time.

[joeybee12]

3. The NY Times article quoted the head of NBC as saying

it was being canceled--personally, I think it was time a few years ago.

14. When Eric McCormick

was on R&K, he said it was a mutual decision because the show had run it's course. Just sayin'....

[joeybee12]

23. Oh, I believe you...I was just saying

what I read!!!!

[elehhhhna]

8. and they are correct.

4. I watched only one season of Will and Grace and thought

it blew. I just didn't buy the idea that Will was such a nebish when it came to dating but was allegedly a succesful attorney in New York. Yeah right.

I also tired of the Jewish stereotypes in the character of Grace.

Glad to see it go.

5. Good -- it'll make run for something better, I hope

I won't miss Will and Grace. A lot of stereotyping and very mean-spirited at times.

6. Mean-spirited, that's for sure.

I didn't watch it in a long time either.

[jonnyblitz]

7. I always thought Will and Grace was very lame and boring. nt

[Bombtrack]

9. I don't know what I'm going to

continue never having watched it I guess.

[Misunderestimator]

10. Good.

[peekaloo]

11. Put 'Scrubs' back on Thursday nights!

although I won't whine too much since there is currently an hour's worth on Tuesday.


p.s. I don't care for that new "comedy" by the creators of W&G either.

[underpants]

19. Seriously-Scrubs, Earl , and The Office would be great

It would harken back to the days when Thursday nights were really funny....pre "Friends" days

[terrya]

12. That's good news.

Enough is enough of that show.

[joeybee12]

25. Yeah, same old, same old...

...never cared for it--the characters were too much like cariacatures.

[graywarrior]

13. I'm still watching Seinfeld

Haven't caught up to Will & Grace yet.

[robbedvoter]

17. Do yourself a favor: don't!

It's be a huuuuge step down!

[lies and propaganda]

15. hasnt been funny in a looong time

maybe if it were Karen and Jack (and Rosario!)

[robbedvoter]

16. Halleluja! lamest show on TV! Offensive and trite at the same time

I guess succeding at doing both at the same time explains the mystery of its longevity.

18. Will & Grace isn't being cancelled

They planned this to be their last season.

I learned about WW yesterday and am really bummed. As soon as they moved it to Sundays opposite Extreme Makeover Home Edition, I knew it was toast.

[underpants]

20. Is "Ned & Stacey" coming back then?

21. I always liked Jack and Karen.

Even if I have never in my life met a gay man that acted like him, he is still funny as hell.

Will and Grace were so freaking boring, they actually took away from the show.

[bertha katzenengel]

22. It's about time. I am SICK of that show's portrayal of gay men as

vapid and immature and flouncy men. :grr:

[JVS]

24. W&G sucked ass

[Shell Beau]

26. I thought that this was there last season, not getting cancelled?
