Will & Grace: Dylan McDermott

Archive: Gay Themed

I ignored Will & Grace when it appeared. Gay sitcom - {shrug} - sitcoms are stupid: that sums up my response.

A couple of years later I was in Raleigh getting to know Charles. He was a regular viewer. I think it was the story of Will's discovering he's gay. It was a decent story. And, no surprise for my love for the stereotypical gay men that straight gays despise - I was greatly taken with Jack. (Opinion later revised because it seems as if Jack has finally become too much of a cartoon even for me.)

I've grown increasingly weary of Will & Grace. I'd hoped the introduction of Harry Connick, whose proven a surprisingly good actor in a couple of movies, would enliven the show. But Harry is rarely there and the Grace character appears to be on stupid pills. Her increasing superficiality leaves steadily becoming harder to distinguish from Karen and Jack.

Since Will & Grace has become a lover's tradition for the two of us (I don't care what you think) I'll be watching the new season.

I don't know who Dylan McDermott is. But I hope having him become Will's steady will be the source of a few fresh storylines. I fear we'll be overexposed to Will's insecurities. Maybe when Frasier ends they'll hire Joe Keenan to be the story editor.

First seen on Blake's weblog. He got it from Go Fish.

Nothing like a fool and trackbacks.
