Product Description:
Will (Eric McCormack) a gay lawyer and Grace (Deborah Messing) a straight interior designer are best friends. When Grace's engagement falls apart she moves into Will's Manhattan apartment as a temporary solution. But before they know it they have become roommates in a much more permanent sense. Will's flamboyant pal Jack (Sean Hayes) and Grace's hard-drinking divorcee receptionist Karen (Megan Mullally) ensure that Will and Grace's lives never get too quiet. This set includes all 23 episodes from Season Two of the wildly popular NBC-TV series.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 031398121046 Manufacturer No: 15669

After a first season made controversial by the mere presence of openly gay characters, Will & Grace returned triumphantly with renewed confidence and vigor. In their second season, sidekicks Jack and Karen (the very, very funny Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally) are more snide and gleefully obnoxious than ever; Will (Eric McCormack) has perfected his prickly panache; and in particular Grace (Debra Messing) has entered a whole new plane of sexy goofiness, diving even more headlong into physical comedy--such as the episode when, in order to woo a high school crush, she gets a water-padded bra that springs a leak. The writing has also become tighter, grown more deft in its gay and pop culture references (which were often self-conscious in the first season) and at juggling sustained storylines, such as the Immigration department investigating Jack's marriage to Karen's Salvadorian maid Rosario (Shelley Morrison), Grace and Will struggling to become less emotionally incestuous, and Jack seeking his biological father. The show excels at tackling emotional subjects (like Will discovering that his father, who has accepted and even embraced his homosexuality at home, has told his co-workers that Will is married to Grace) with a sharp comic eye.
Guest stars start to accumulate: Molly Shannon returns, Sydney Pollack and Debbie Reynolds play Will's dad and Grace's mom, Joan Collins appears as a rival designer, Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, M.D.) plays the leader of a going-straight support group, and Gregory Hines takes on a recurring role as Will's new boss, a high-powered lawyer who seduces Grace. Will & Grace mixes superb sitcom farce with sly sociopolitical commentary; the fusion is smart and consistently entertaining. --Bret Fetzer

"Will and Grace, Season Two" was shipped fast and securely. This DVD was new and exactly as described...no flaws...perfect. Of course you have to be a fan of WILL AND GRACE in order to appreciate this type of humor. I thought it was great.

Will and Grace was always one of my favorite sit-coms. It's great to be able to start collecting them a bit at a time.
Rating: - Season Two
Good collection to have I bought all of them so far and I love them. I'm now on Season 5
Rating:  - Fine season in awful DVD presentation
While many have observed the Season 2 finale, presented in this set as two parts, carelessly appears at the *beginning* of Disc 4 rather than the end, no one has pointed out that the original broadcast of the Season 2 finale was NOT in two parts at all: it was an hour-long episode. The two-part division was made for later syndicated reruns. More importantly, substantial cuts were also made, totalling three missing minutes. As I read on this site, this shameful situation is the same in all of Seasons 5 and 6 (probably 7 and 8 as well), where the cut, syndicated versions are used--the same ones people can see for free in daily TV reruns. We buy TV shows on DVD to see them in their original form, so with many Will & Grace DVDs, we're getting cheated.
Rating: - Two much? Try two isn't enough!
The second season of WILL & GRACE brought more zaniness, including great characters that had the continuity to last beyond just an episode or two. That includes Shelley Morrison, as Rosario Salazar, Karen Walker (Megan Mullally)'s fiery maid who doesn't take any guff from the boozing, drugged out, emotionally abusive heiress and "sometime" (I say sometime because this word can be used VERY loosely to describe what she does) administrative assistant for Grace Adler (Debra Messing) at her interior design firm. The only reason Grace keeps Karen around is for her leads and connections in the greater New York metropolitan area. We also are introducted to Ben Deucett (the late, great Gregory Hines--yes, the same one best known for tap dancing into our hearts in films like TAP), crafty boss of lawyer Will Truman (Eric McCormack). We also have the great pleasure of seeing Debbie Reynolds, as Bobbie Adler, Grace's mother. Reynolds totally hams it up on the program, and sends up her image as a big, on-screen musical theater diva. The laughs come fast and furiously. Of course, many of the greatest and biggest laughs are prompted by the antics of would-be song and dance man Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes), Will's best friend. Again, another great and successful season of humor from the cast of WILL & GRACE.
