Reboots: is anyone still laughing at Will & Grace?

It's amazing really. With all the content available networks think the thing to do is return to the original successful television series. Find those old actors, bring them out of retirement and try to make an old thing new again. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. With Will & Grace I think it still works.

I didn't think I would watch again, but one night with nothing to do I turned it on. It's the same old show, with older actors, a newer story line, and definitely a new confidence to push the envelope on a "regular" network. My younger children would like to watch., but with what I have seen so far, the jokes are not for children. This is a comedy that is trying to compete with cable networks, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime.. you get the idea. It's raising the bar on the jokes, and using language I don't usually hear on NBC before 9. I am not offended in the least, but I imagine some of you are.

It's funny. The acting at first seemed a little rough. Jack and Karen still have that chemistry, but Will & Grace had to work out some kinks. I would have been fine with the Will & Jack show, but I guess they thought Grace was necessary so she is doing her best to fit back in. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

A great addition to the show is ROSS from Friends. I guess we don't call him Ross any more. David Schwimmer is fun and funny. He is Grace's love interest and since her character needs a little help from time to time, in my opinion, I am glad he is there. Remembering all the Friends characters, Schwimmer wasn't my favorite, but he always did a solid job then and he is doing it now.

If you need a little comedy in your life, turn on Will & Grace. I know some people can't take the politics. It does get a little too much sometimes, but that's when I hit delete on my DVR. Not every comedy gets it right every time. I don't belly laugh at every episode,  but I do belly laugh at more often then not. It's hard to find a good comedy. On the cable and streaming services I often run into funny, but it can be very adult heavy. Will & Grace will throw in some surprising jokes and language, but that's probably when I laugh the hardest.

Someone said Laughter is the best medicine, and I really believe that is true. We need to laugh, probably more than we do. I know I could use more laughter in my life. While I search to find more funny I will lean on Will & Grace. If you have a minute, you should too. There is nothing better than sore abs, and a hurting face from too much laughing.
