George Costanza is narcissistic; he only thinks about himself and himself only. In the episode “The Invitations,” George is informed that the toxic glue from the cheap wedding invitations is what killed his fiancée Susan. His response to the devastating news is a simple, “huh.” Immediately following, George decides to grab a cup of coffee with Elaine, Kramer, and Jerry. He never stops to think for a second that the death of Susan is in fact his fault, he doesn’t shed a tear, and he doesn’t even try to contact Susan’s parents to break the news. He simply, in pure George Costanza fashion, thinks about the coffee He is currently craving, and thinks about how lucky He is to not have to marry Susan after all.
In the sitcom WILL & GRACE, Karen is very similar to narcissistic George. She is married to a millionaire and flaunts her money to anyone and anything. She is oblivious to other people who struggle with their finances, for instance Grace, and in response makes them feel like failures.

Yep, I agree: Karen Walker is extremely narcissistic--as well as quite funny! Can you tell me, however, how the fact that she "is married to a millionaire and flaunts her money to anyone and anything" makes her narcissistic? Thanks.
The fact that she "is married to a millionaire and flaunts her money to anyone and anything" makes her narcissistic because she is oblivious to the other half who struggle financially. She only thinks about how good SHE has it, and in turn makes others feel worthless.
Thanks for the description, Liz--MUCH better!
