Another New Generation

[Smartboy]

I am calling this post "Another New Generation" because I have already started a thread on the "Caroline in the City" page called "A New Generation". In both cases, the purposes of the post is to give newcomers to the site a chance to read about issues that I raised a while back. In any event, the topic that I am thinking about now is one that I posted a messages about early this month. It is called "Bert Groseman". You would have to read the post itself to know who Bert Groseman is and what he has to do with "Will and Grace". In any case, the purpose of this thread os to start a conversation about the two-parter called "Someone Old, Someplace New, Something Borrowed, Someone's Due". This is one topic that there has never seemed to be too much interest in. However, the moral of this episode is simple. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it! Think back to "The Wizard of Of", "The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse" and just about half of the episodes of "The Flintstones"! If you go back even farther on this board, you will come to threads by me about the late Harvey Korman. He was the voice of the Great Gazoo from the "Flintstones". He was very instrumental in teaching this lesson! Maybe if Will and Grace had watched more "Flintstones" growing up, they would not have been so quick to complain about how small and cluttered their apartment is!

I am bringing this thread to the top of the page in an effort to get some feedback from two groups of people. These two types of people are "Brady Bunch" fans and "Flintstone" fans! Since the dawn of history, there has been media that's purpose was to teach people to be careful what they wish for because they just might get it! However, according to my memory, this two-parter was the only episode of "Will and Grace" that taught this lesson. On the "Brady Bunch" however, there were a few such episodes. However the one that sticks out in my mind is "To Move or not to More". This was towards the end of the first season. They were able to accomplish in one half-hour period what "Will and Grace" needed two periods to do! This was probably because this particular episode had a lot of other fluff unrelated to this particular plot. In any case, on the "Flintstones" this was the theme of just about half of the episodes! By the sixth and last season, they had run out of earthlings to teach Fred and Barney this lesson and so they brought in somone from outer space! This was the character of the Great Gazoo. What do other fans think of the similarities between the types of lessons that he taught Fred and Barney and the type that Will and Grace learned in this two-parter?

For the bulk of the day, I have been going to pages all over this board trying to stimulate some conversation about some of these fine shows! All told, I have had virtually no success! This will probably be my last attempt before turning in for the night. One thing that I would be very interested in hearing from other fans is what people think of the similarities between the type of lesson that Will and Grace learned in this two-parter and the type of lesson that was taught in every other episode of the "Flintstones"! Do you think that having watched more "Flintstone" reruns growing up would have helped Will and Grace keep from making the mistake that they made in this episode?

There seems to be a big influx of new members and first-time posters on this board. This has seemed to be going on for the past couple of weeks. Because of this, I have decided to bring this thread to the top of the page (yet again)! I would really like some feedback on this issue! As far as I can remember, this is the only episode of this sereis that made the point about being careful what you wish for because you just might get it. This is in contrast to a sereis like the "Flintstones" in which this was the moral of just about every other episode!
