Some good news for fans of Will & Grace craving a little quality time with Will, Grace, Jack and Karen (and let's not forget Rosario!): Lionsgate is releasing two Best Of DVDs—Will & Grace: Best of Love & Marriage and Will & Grace: Best of Friends & Foes—on May 5.
Each two-DVD collectors' set features 16 episodes. While the Love & Marriage set includes Jack's green-card marriage to Rosario, which is one of my all-time favorite episodes, Friends & Foes is made up of episodes featuring famous guest stars like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Madonna.
I loved Will & Grace when the show was on the air, but I have to say that I appreciate it even more now that it's gone. There just aren't any classic sitcoms on the air these days, and Will & Grace was your classic sitcom. Man, I used to look forward to curling up on my couch on Thursday nights to spend a half-hour with Will and his friends. I loved that they were so witty and urbane, and I would have done anything to live in Will's fabulous Manhattan apartment.
I am not one to quote from movies and TV shows, but I still remember lines from show, which speaks to how clever the writing was. Honestly, every time Karen opened her mouth, I was in stitches. She always had something devastatingly insulting yet on point to say about Grace's wardrobe. One of her best lines was, "Grace, that blouse hurts like a hangover."
As for favorite episodes, I loved it when Will let Jack join his gym but was then mortified by Jack's flamboyant actions. And remember when Grace tried to build up her bustline by wearing that disastrous water bra? Or when Jack tried to expose the straight guy (played by guest star Matt Damon) who was pretending to be gay so he could become a member of the gay chorus? (The episode with Damon is on the Friends & Foes set, by the way.)
Oh, the memories! Reminisce with me: What were your favorites Will & Grace lines and/or episodes?
