Product Description
From Amazon.com
Will & Grace strode into its third season with the kind of cultural cache TV executives would kill for. These 22 episodes are littered with hip celebrity guest stars, from Ellen DeGeneres to Sandra Bernhard to Cher, and the performances of the core quartet--Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Karen Mullally, and Sean Hayes--became more comically exaggerated as they risked pushing their characters (already riddled with neuroses and snippiness) into the realm of caricatures. But due to clever writing and confident, full-throttle performances, it doesn't matter. Even when Jack and Karen's high-handed behavior go beyond anything recognizably human, audiences love them all the more; no matter how high-strung Will and Grace become, their well-honed rapport keeps them engaging and lovable.
Wisely, the writers swiftly returned the pair to roommate status and got Grace out of her ongoing relationship with Will's former boss (Gregory Hines), bringing the show's focus back on how the pair sublimate their love lives with the cozy intimacy of friendship--one particularly strong episode flashes back to how they first met in college, replete with godawful 80s fashion. But, as ever, it's Jack and Karen who up the comic ante; Mullally and Hayes are shamelessly self-absorbed and shallow, exploiting and abusing everyone around them. Jack forces Will to play Cyrano, feeding him pick-up lines over his salesperson headset; Karen, worried that some experimental plastic surgery might turn out badly, manipulates another socialite into getting it first. Not all plotlines fly--Grace gets into a relationship with an obnoxious neighbor (Woody Harrelson) that never becomes more than stunt-casting--but the racy wit flies fast and furious, the slapstick is topnotch, and Karen's hairdo towers magnificently. --Bret Fetzer

Awesome Season, Substandard DVD Menus,
By
This review is from: Will & Grace S3 (DVD)
Without a doubt, Season 3 of Will and Grace is my favorite by far. "Lows In The Mid 80's", "Swimming Pools, Movie Stars" w/Sandra Bernhard and "Brothers: A Love Story" are some of the series best installments.However, the person who designed the menus on this set should be fired and banned from working on any subsequent releases. The peach-and-baby blue colored circles that fly around the screen with clips from the show are VERY distracting, annoying and not at all pleasant for the viewer. Not to mention the fact it took me almost five minutes to figure out how to access the SECOND menu screen to view episodes 4-6 on the disc. (*Clue* you have to cursor down through the episode icons, to the word "Menu" then to an arrow and hit the play button--ridiculous! Why not just use the same tasteful design that was on Seasons 1 and 2??). After the packaging errors of Season Two, you would think the manufacturers would be a little more careful.

Missing some of the funniest bits.,
By David Poon (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Will & Grace S3 (DVD)
While the box sets of Will and Grace are pretty affordable, you should probably know that the episodes on them are the edits used for the show in syndication. Sometimes there are pretty obvious jumps and gaps where they cut out the original jokes or plot points.I recommend trawling through the internet to download the original shows if you're a fan of the original shows.

Great Sitcom!,
By
This review is from: Will & Grace S3 (DVD)
I am a Friends' fan, but am now also a Will and Grace's fan! Both shows are great, but Will and Grace is a different look at how you can be friends with people that has different sexual orientation. It's a good eye opener even though everything is done with a good touch of humour. I love this show, I've bought all DVD box sets that came out and will continue to buy all the seasons until the very last one without hesitation! Very affordable box set and quite entertaining! Can't ask for more!
