EDINBURGH, Scotland -- Eric McCormack says he's through with sitcoms. The former "Will & Grace" star said he was reluctant to try to follow up the hit gay guy-meets-straight gal comedy, which wrapped up in May after eight seasons on NBC.

McCormack told an audience at the Edinburgh International Television Festival on Saturday that we would like to return to the small screen, but "probably not in a sitcom, because I don't think I can follow 'Will and Grace,' as an experience for me.

"The experience day-to-day was about as perfect as you can get," he said.

McCormack, who recently starred in an off-Broadway production of Neil LaBute's "Some Girls," said he wants to focus on stage and film roles.

He was in Edinburgh to promote "Lovespring International," the improvised comedy produced by his company, Big Cattle Productions.

The series set in a dysfunctional dating service airs in the United States on Lifetime and will screen on Britain's Sky One in January.

I understand him, W&G must be hard to top.

I don't know. I feel like a lot of stars coming off of long running shows always say things like this, but end up working at some point or another on a show. So I wouldn't count him out of TV just yet.

in my opinion it is in his blood he will stay with this sort of sitcom show

For some stars it is hard to make it in a sitcom again. There are a few rare stars such as Julia Louis Dreyfus. But he may want to try something else and that is all. He may fill like if he does another sitcom he would have to top Will and Grace.

i think he could make it doing a sitcom again. he just has to give it a little while and don't do it so soon after W&G. I think he'll make it again.
