I’m rewatching it. It’s so much funnier especially the later series.

So much funnier. Love some of the scenes with Karen and her maid.

Will & Grace have Karen and Jack so of course its funnier.

I didn’t find either funny tbh.

Grace is ‘funny’ because she’s a desperate single woman
Will is ‘funny’ because he’s an uptight gay man
Karen is ‘funny’ because she’s an alcoholic, wealthy and a cruel stepmother
The other guy is ‘funny’ because he’s extremely camp

Extremely unfunny stereotypes, all of them.

I really enjoyed it until every episode featured a big name guest star and it lost some of its appeal. The reboot is very funny though.

Anal fissures are funnier than Will and Grace

No chance. Friends is way funnier. Will and Grace was just so try hard.

Always found friends funny. W&G was good but I couldn’t stand Grace or Jack. Loved Will and Karen.

@LongIslandIcedT New Girl is so under rated.

V unreasonable! The only challenger to Friends in the funny stakes is Frasier!

My fav American sitcom, vastly underrated- I wish Netflix would put it on!

Never got into it personally, I was more of a frasier, mad about you girl. Oh and Dharma and Greg

I like Will & Grace, however I can't stand Karen and Jack characters.

Love love love Will & Grace!!

I don’t get how Fraser was funny- seeing a neurotic couple of brothers have the odd breakdown, never real storylines as far as I could see

@OnlyFoolsnMothers well everyone have different things they find funny I guess. 😀

I don’t find either funny. Hey are both cringe worthy unfunny.

100% YANBU. I said it in the 90s and I stand by it.

The new ones are awful though. The dated jokes make me cringe. Karen is still fab.

Will and Grace is just an Americanised and less funny version of Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Yadnbu, much funnier and more interesting characters. And Eric McCormack is totally dreamy.

Ross from Friends is Graces steady bf in the new series. Theyve all had plastic surgery!
