"Will & Grace" Might be in trouble.. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here's an article that some of us might not like. I don't:

THIS IS FROM ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT:

Grace's new husband, played by HARRY CONNICK JR., may be sticking around after all. Originally, NBC had signed the crooner/actor for 12 episodes. Now ET has confirmed that Connick is in negotiations to become a regular on the sitcom. Producers think a triangle of Will, Grace and the perfect Jewish doctor will add new energy and plot twists to the show.

Yeah that's trouble al1 right.I told you I saw an ad for the show and it he was on it and it wasn't for the wedding it was for the show altogether.I've always wanted to see Will & Grace hook up (even though Will is gay) but who knows?

I think you may be the only person to wish that. But that's beside the point -- I think this is very troubling news. I do not want Harry Connick (spelling?) Jr. to be a regular because, quite honsetly, he is not a funny actor. He was good in "Hope Floats" with the romantic dram/comedy, but I don't think he's good at all at pure comedy. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope he doesn't stick around.

Frasier W. Crane · 11-29-2002, 11:25 PM

I know what you mean. WILL AND GRACE (the title says it all) needs to be about them, and personally, HCJR won't work. I will expect grace to get a divorce from him at the end of the season or something...that is if he doesn't stick around.

AND A QUESTION:

HOW DO YOU CENTER WORDS AND IMAGES IN THE BOTTOM PART...YOUR SIGNITURE AREA?

actaully Sitcomwriter isnt the ONLY Person to wish Will and Grace could get together I've always wished that too

I wouldn't be disappointed if this happened:

Grace moves out of Will's apartment to live with Leo...right next door. Karen and Jack move in with Will. It'll be like Three's Company!

TJL · 11-30-2002, 02:17 PM

Hmmm.
As much as I like the idea of Grace finally finding Mr. Right after so many bad relationships, adding another full time cast member usually means the beginning of the end for most sitcoms.

On the other hand, i'm glad that at least they're going to give Grace's marriage thing a try. It would have been stupid for Grace to spend the whole season courting Mr. Connick only to wind up the season with some quickie marriage and divorce.

In other words, I have no idea what the heck is going to happen.

I'm confused. I need coffee...

Will and Grace Fanatic · 11-30-2002, 02:28 PM

I don't think Will and Grace is in any trouble the writers can make the funniest story lines with this new marriage thing they have. Plus ratings are up 26% from last season.

IheartMoonlighting · 12-02-2002, 12:01 AM

I would rather have a husband storyline than a baby storyline like Friends. That's when you know the end is near.

I for one would not want to see Will and Grace together. It would change the scope of the show, all of a sudden Will doesn't want to be gay anymore, I don't buy that at all.

Maybe now, they can focus on getting a boyfriend for Will.
