"If you're anything like us, you've spent every day since the last Will & Grace episode slamming your head into a pile of shattered glass and shouting the word 'why' into the sky a lot.

Because, let's face it, without Will & Grace on TV, there's nobody to give third-rate, painfully unfunny walk-on parts to Madonna any more.

However, all's not lost because the creators of Will & Grace - David Kohan and Max Mutchnick - are making a new sitcom pilot about a gay person who's friends with a straight person. We can only marvel at where Kohan and Mutchnick - a gay person and a straight person who are friends and had a successful long-running sitcom about a friendship between a gay person and a straight person - got this wickedly original new idea for a TV show from"

"Ah, the old gay thing again. However, despite the obvious similarities to Will & Grace, a previous pilot they wrote about a straight person and a gay person working together and Kohan and Mutchnick's own lives, this untitled sitcom will be completely different from anything they've done before because, um, none of the people in this new one will have ginger hair. And nobody will be called Will."

1. I liked Will & Grace better

when it was "I Love Lucy"

maybe they can make the new one more like the Dick Van Dyke show.

2. From what I understand...

This will be like the Great Lebovsky (or whatever it was called) of whatever you call it teevee.

One of the principals lives next door to me.

5. "Lebowski" n/t

7. That's it

What amazes me is that so many people I know think that I resemble that character.

I have seen the movie several times and I just don't see it at all.

8. God...they're not joking.

As long as Sean "I'm a no talent closeted asshole" Hayes has nothing whatsoever to do with it, it seems like the perfect thing for me to ignore. Instead of loathing it with all of my being if Hayes is a part of it.
