Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

After a first season made controversial by the mere presence of openly gay characters, Will & Grace returned triumphantly with renewed confidence and vigor. In their second season, sidekicks Jack and Karen (the very, very funny Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally) are more snide and gleefully obnoxious than ever; Will (Eric McCormack) has perfected his prickly panache; and in particular Grace (Debra Messing) has entered a whole new plane of sexy goofiness, diving even more headlong into physical comedy--such as the episode when, in order to woo a high school crush, she gets a water-padded bra that springs a leak. The writing has also become tighter, grown more deft in its gay and pop culture references (which were often self-conscious in the first season) and at juggling sustained storylines, such as the Immigration department investigating Jack's marriage to Karen's Salvadorian maid Rosario (Shelley Morrison), Grace and Will struggling to become less emotionally incestuous, and Jack seeking his biological father. The show excels at tackling emotional subjects (like Will discovering that his father, who has accepted and even embraced his homosexuality at home, has told his co-workers that Will is married to Grace) with a sharp comic eye.

Guest stars start to accumulate: Molly Shannon returns, Sydney Pollack and Debbie Reynolds play Will's dad and Grace's mom, Joan Collins appears as a rival designer, Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, M.D.) plays the leader of a going-straight support group, and Gregory Hines takes on a recurring role as Will's new boss, a high-powered lawyer who seduces Grace. Will & Grace mixes superb sitcom farce with sly sociopolitical commentary; the fusion is smart and consistently entertaining. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Season Two Episode Guide, February 18, 2004

By	TechnoToyLover "manwithecclectictastes" (Foster City, CA) - See all my reviews

Here is the Will & Grace Season Two Episode Guide. I have yet to see the DVD. Now where's The Mary Tyler Moore Show Season Two?

Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner: The platonic pair find life even messier without each other after Grace moves...across the hall. Meanwhile, Karen informs Jack that his marriage-for-show to Rosario must go on in order to keep her maid in America.

Election: Grace gives Will a run for his money when she enters his unopposed race to be named tenant-board president. Meanwhile, Jack hits the jackpot when Karen tries to buy his forgiveness after she loses his bird, Guapo.

Das Boob: A flattering newspaper photo gains Grace the attention of an old crush (Scott Patterson) who was never one to keep abreast of her before. Meanwhile, Jack is destroyed to learn that Will had a thing with his former fling (Anthony DeSantis).

Whose Mom Is It, Anyway?: Grace hits the roof when her matchmaking mom (Debbie Reynolds) visits with yet another man in tow. Unfortunately, he's perfect...for Will. Meanwhile, Jack and Rosario meet with an INS agent who's well acquainted with Jack's past.

Polk Defeats Truman: Grace teaches Karen about budgeting by taking her outlet shopping, while Will sells himself short to land a fickle, filthy rich client (Gary Grubbs). But when the bottom drops out, a vindicated Grace feels bad about coming out on top.

To Serve and Disinfect: After closing his office, Will accepts a dare to work as one of Jack's cater-waiters. Meanwhile, Grace catches Karen at work - in an adult film.

Homo for the Holidays: Jack tries to come out to his mom (Veronica Cartwright), who shows up for Thanksgiving dinner at Will's armed with a secret of her own. But before any secrets are spilled, Karen and Grace duke it out over their make-believe ex-lover, namely Jack.

Terms of Employment: Grace enlists an out-of-practice Will to sue one of her clients (Gregory Hines), a hotshot lawyer who kills her case, but saves Will's career. Meanwhile, Jack and Karen turn a training film set into an adult entertainment experience.

I Never Promised You an Olive Garden: Bored with Rob and Ellen's low-rent tastes, Grace and Will dump them for a pair of highbrow downtowners (Tamlyn Tomita, Steve Valentine). Meanwhile, Karen helps Jack face his painful past during a trip to her kid's grade school.

Tea and a Total Lack of Sympathy: Will kisses up to Karen to appease his new boss (Gregory Hines); Jack and Grace get into hot water over an antique teapot.

Seeds of Discontent: When an old school chum (Megyn Price) asks Will to father her child, a jealous Grace tries to thwart her baby-making plans.

He's Come Undone: Will's sexy dreams about Grace land him in therapy and send her on a couch trip with his hunky shrink (Markus Flanagan). Meanwhile, Jack and Karen clash over her treatment of Rosario.

Oh Dad, Poor Dad, He's Kept Me in the Closet and I'm So Sad: Will and Grace are forced to pose as married at his father's awards dinner; Jack's blind date may have a surprising connection to his past.

Acting Out: Will and Jack appear on Today to protest NBC for yanking a gay kiss from a sitcom episode; Grace seeks Karen's advice on dumping a weirdo beau. Al Roker guest stars as himself.

Hey La, Hey La, My Ex-Boyfriend: Will has designs on Grace's newest interior-decorating client - his ex-boyfriend (Chris Potter); Karen tries taking her "career" more seriously.

The Hospital Show: When Karen's husband, Stan, suffers a heart attack, the gang takes bets on whom the sassy socialite will turn to for emotional support.

Sweet (and Sour) Charity: As the gang plunges into charity work, Will and Grace direct a kids' play, while Jack infuriates Karen by giving away her favorite pair of pumps.

An Affair to Forget: When two pals ask Will and Grace to be the best man and maid of honor at their wedding, Grace's sexy past with the groom is exposed.

Girls, Interrupted: Grace befriends a sassy kleptomaniac (Molly Shannon); Jack has a crush on the leader of a group of "ex-gays" (Neil Patrick Harris).

There But for the Grace of Grace: Will and Grace are alarmed when the friendship of two bickering oldsters mirrors their own; Ben (Gregory Hines) impresses Jack and Karen with his hidden talents.

Best Friend's Tush: A catty socialite (Joan Collins) of Karen's acquaintance vies with Grace for a client; Jack tries marketing an odd invention.

Ben? Her? Conclusion: After his legal tussle with Karen, Jack moves in with Will, who is reeling from reversals in his career and love life

3.0 out of 5 stars Great show, truly sloppy DVD..., April 19, 2004

By	Victor Capo (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Will and Grace's second season is even better than the first, although I still don't think it's at its best, but the whole season shows promise as it rolls along to its finale...

...speaking of, as other reviewers have mentioned, the episodes (on the last disc) are completely out of order--you need to use the episode guide in the booklet in order to avoid confusion. I'm surprised that NBC let such a mix-up slip by, especially for one of their highest-rated shows (I could understand if the episodes were backwards, but they are completely shuffled around randomly). Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I'd watched all the DVDs, and remained confused about what had happened after the "final" episode. I realize this may not be that big a deal to most people, but this really bothered me and took a little bit away from the last couple of episodes since I wasn't so much focused on the humor, but trying to put illogical pieces together.

The extras are also skimpy (same kind of featurettes as the previous season's DVD, and no interviews this time), but at least all the episodes are there... in some order.

I just hope NBC wakes up when making the next season's DVDs...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best of Will & Grace!, March 12, 2004

By	Batmanbrb "batmansbrb" (Seymour, IN United States) - See all my reviews

In my opinion, Will & Grace was at their best in Season 2. Every one of these episodes were some of the best sitcom writing in years. W&G earned a 'Best Comedy' Emmy from this season, as did Sean and Megan for supporting roles. Season 2 offers some of my all-time favorite episodes. Who can forgot 'Das Boob' when a picture in a newspaper makes Grace's chest appear much larger than they are - with the hilarious scene of Grace, Jack, and Will feeling each other up. 'To Serve and Disinfect' is awesome!! Grace finds out Karen was in an adult fetish film and has some fun getting her back for all the mean put-downs Karen has thrown at her. Also, Will works for Jack as a waiter serving lawyers. This is one of the best episodes ever!! 'Homo for the Holidays' is outrageous! Jack 'comes out' to his mother (as Karen says, "What is she, headless?") - a very well-written, socially responsible, yet so damn funny episode. 'The Hospital Show' where Stan is in the hospital and the gang all bet which one of them Karen will cry to first. Karen finds out about the bet and has some fun with them. 'An Affair to Remember' features Rob & Ellen making wedding plans and later Ellen finds out that Grace slept with Rob. So, to get back at him, she tries to sleep with Will - who can forgot her shaking her bra-laden boobies at Will saying, "Get a load of these torpedoes!" "Girls, Interrupted" was the most controversial episode of the season and ultimately one of the best. Jack falls in love with a guy who's trying to get him 'back on the straight and narrow'. So Karen and Jack attend one of his church-based meetings (turning gay people straight) only to expose everyone as attending a 'gay pick-up joint'. I for one thought this was very brave writing and it is down-right funny.

I guess I could go on and on, but if you really want to see the best episodes of Will & Grace, you have to buy Season 2. It is without a doubt one of the finest sitcom seasons in television history. You definitely won't be disappointed!
