As always well written and funny. Extras are pretty standard if you own any of the other seasons. Season 8 live episodes are very funny, you can see the cast really enjoys their jobs. Finale is a great episode by itself, very clever how everyone ages 20 years but Karen is frozen in time.

There' no argument that this is one of the funniest series of all time, but season 8 was slightly ruined by what is one of the worst finales ever. It seems to have been written by people who've never watched the show and it's a completely unrealistic end to these characters (there's no way Will and Grace would stop talking to each other for so many years).

Still, for a fan of the series and especially for those with the other seasons on DVD, this is a must-get. It has a few funny episodes (although this is probably the weakest season of all), and the bloopers are always a good addition to the set.

One of the best sitcoms ever finally closes after eight wonderful years. Hats off to the writers of this show, who made a sensitive subject of homosexuality funny yet realistic.

Funny as ever! I was sad to see the series end. It was like saying goodbye to a group of close friends. (corny I know..but true)

W&G is my favorite show ever and to the new recruit to the show I would say it'd be best to start from season 1, but season 8 has some great episodes, including the two live episodes which were packed with laughs. you know a show is good when the actors crack themselves up with the dialoge. If you liked W&G buy this, and if you have never seen it get season 1 and then i'm sure you'll fall in love with the series and need them all!

I can't stop watching this show! It's so hilarious. There is rarely an episode that doesn't make me happy. The characters are probably my favorite from any sitcom from the past 50 years. All four of the actors won Emmy's, and that makes me so proud, because they definitely deserved it! I wasn't thrilled to see the way things turned out for them in the finale but they provided 8 great seasons of laughter that we can all watch over and over again thanks to these disks. I still think that "Karen & Jack" would have been a hilarious spin-off (with Rosario!).

Eight years...just got the last season from Amazon yesterday and have watched it over and over...God do I miss these people...they saw me through some tough times in my life and episodes 1-3 last year got me through 3 weeks in the hospital and I have just missed Will and Grace and Karen and Jack and Rosie...they really seem like friends I would have over for a dinner party where we empty the liquor cabinet...well, Karen does...other than Frazier, this is the best written, directed, acted and beloved sitcoms and I love these characters and miss them dearly...can we have a movie like Sex and the City? Dedicated fans want to know!!!

Over eight seasons the writers of 'Will & Grace' provided some genius moments of comedy, moments whose origins are hard to fathom even after repeat viewings.

This show is right up there with 'Everybody Loves Raymond' as a classic of social commentary and observation, with a dash of madness thrown in.

Having never seen this season on TV, the first episode was a bit of a shock - it was filmed 'live' with minimal editing and some mistakes from the cast left in. It was also filmed using the same type of film that daytime soaps use. At least one other episode gets this treatment over the course of the season and, after the initial surprise, it was a welcome addition to the W&G experience.

I found the last show to be one of the best of its kind (again, as with 'Everybody Loves Raymond'). Unlike that criminally bad last Seinfeld episode, the writers of W&G kept their heads and combined the two key elements of the show. Veering a little more toward heart than comedy the end is very satisfying - no unrealistic plot twists, no last grab at self parody, just taking the story to an intelligent, imaginative end.

In between there is the usual mix of what makes W&G great. You have to admire the people who created this program and acted in it (including all the incredible supporting characters) for keeping it sharp as a tack all the way to the end.

My favorite line of this season captures one of the things that I love best about the whole series - that swift change of direction in midstream:

Karen to Jack: "I'm sorry honey, I don't know what it is today but your faggy little voice is going right through me."

I highly recommend all eight seasons.

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.

I have all the seasons now and I watched this entire season in a week!!
