Is the show losing it? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is it just me, or is the show less funny this season? I have found myself groaning at all the bad jokes I have heard so far. I hope it improves soon.

I Dont think its "Losing it" at all if ANY show on Must see tv Thursdays is "Losing it" its Friends but thats JMO

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 03-25-2003, 06:19 PM

NO WAY!!!!! Although I've only started watching it last year, I've seen repeats and I thinks it's just as good as it's ever been.

Striel · 03-29-2003, 03:40 PM

This show is HORRIBLE this season.

TJL · 03-29-2003, 05:03 PM

I think the show is slipping a bit. They have relied too much on guest stars and celebrity cameos, and Grace's marriage to the invisible Doctor wasn't the best of ideas.
Plus, I think Jack and Karen have gotten too obnoxious for thier own good. Sure, that whole vapid self centered thing is what makes them stand out, but sometimes they both deserve a smack upside the head.

IheartMoonlighting · 03-29-2003, 11:03 PM

I don't think the show is as great as it used to be. TJL nailed the problem, there are too many guest stars on the show. Plus, Grace's marriage does not work. It could work, but Grace and Leo need to live near Will. You can not name a show, Will and Grace and not have the two main stars not interact with each other.

Superbatboy · 03-30-2003, 06:18 PM

The show is still funny, but it's losing the edge that made it stand out in the first place. The biggest mistake besides the entourage of guest stars, was marrying Grace. It threw the whole dynamic of the show off. Nothing tops the first 2 seasons though anyway.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 03-31-2003, 05:19 PM

I think the show is doing just fine. Of course, I do agree on the whole guest star thing. There ARE a lot of them. And I also agree that Leo and Grace should live near Will.

As for Karen and Jack...absolutely nothing wrong with them. Sure, they can be a little snobby,but they always show their sensitive side every once in a while.

So true! Friends is my fav show (along with W&G) but they have definetly been doing some uh...dodgy stuff. They need to pick it up.

On the topic, I don't think it's losing it. Then again I haven't seen all the episodes yet. Just started watching about 8 months ago. I still find it funny and entertaining

Yeah I know and I dont know it just seems to me that whereas FRIENDS concerned they are rehashing old topics that have been done before its just not as funny I ACTUALLY PREFER Will and Grace these days

dedicatedlgfan · 04-06-2003, 03:31 PM

So do I. Which is weird! Like I actually look forward to it after school!lmfao

AnaheimPMWitch · 04-06-2003, 04:40 PM

I know same here Except for me its more like waiting to come home from Work to watch it not from school

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 04-06-2003, 09:27 PM

LOL, I always look forward to it every Thursday...and weekdays, too, because it's always repeated then.

Sitcomwriter · 04-10-2003, 10:09 PM

Yeah.I mean yes tonight's episode was a rerun but it was pretty bad compared to the show's earlier years.

I actually really liked that one. Especially when Karen and Stan's new girlfriend are fighting over Jack like he's a dog and they're like "Come here, come here Jackie!" and how he was being all goofy like a dog and then when he chooses Karen and they leave he goes to Stan's girlfriend (I forget her name?) "hey, if Karen dies I'll totally call you." LOL that was great.
