#4 All good shows come in fours

"Will & Grace", a sit-com about 4 randomly put together and very distinctly different friends living in New York. It is similar to "Seinfeld" in that these characters deal with normal daily problems that you can compare yourself to and they are vain and narcissistic just like the tight-knit characters of "Seinfeld". This shallow and sex-based show often pokes fun at alot of things in normal life and isn't afraid to make fun of being gay or straight stereotypes; just like Seinfeld pokes fun at politically correctness and very biased in the sense of religion, making many Jewish references. The two roommates Grace, a straight interior designer, and Will, the gay lawyer, share a platonic friendship and share similar qualities although they are both very different. Then there is Karen, Grace's ridiculously wealthy, pill-popping, gin swelling assistant, and Jack, the out-and-proud gay neighbor. The character set-up of "Will & Grace" is so similar to that of "Seinfeld"; the two best friends Grace and Will ( Jerry and Elaine), the wacky neighbor Jack (Kramer), and the crazy and vain work companion Karen (George).
"Will & Grace" may have a story in some episodes with an actual meaning or even a moral or a little emotion at times unlike "Seinfeld", but "the writing is whip-smart and doused with terrific pop culture references and a phenomenal cast glued together with everlasting chemistry catapulted it far ahead of most post-"Seinfeld" sitcoms." (IMDb.com)

Hello--unless you want your post deleted, you should revise it with the "Rules for the Road" in mind. Please also note that commas and periods go INSIDE quotation marks, and a "catchy" title is required for all postings, okay.
