One well known post-Seinfeld sitcom to revamp the characters of a traditional sitcom is Will&Grace. As Seinfeld, the characters on Will&Grace (Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen) tend to act as children during situations that involve adult decisions and actions. For example, in one episode Jack was unable to decide what he wanted to do for a full-time career. He kept changing his decision when he found something a bit wrong with one of his choices, and giving up as a child would when he or she is unhappy with the results. During another episode Will at one point tries to get someone’s number at a funeral. Karen does not consider her job as an actual job but a place to drink her alcohol and relax. And Grace is a good example of a quirky child who can find humor in any situation. Another way that Will&Grace has revamped the characters is the fact that the sitcom is based on homosexuality. Far different from the traditional sitcom that usually involves a close-nit family who act their age and are very heterosexual.
