|Sitcom about a homosexual lawyer, Will Truman, and a straight interior designer, Grace Adler, who share an apartment in New York City. The show is basically a blatant attempt at pushing the homosexual agenda and using it to pander to a targeted LGBT audience. Another main character, Jack McFarland, is a sporadically-employed actor and a flamboyant, promiscuous homosexual whose life revolves around homosexuality almost every waking moment and attempting to get sexually involved with every man he comes across. It also plays up and makes light of [[alcoholism]] and prescription [[drug abuse]] via Karen Walker, an amoral socialite who engages in both.

|This sitcom stars a homosexual lawyer, Will Truman, and a straight interior designer, Grace Adler, who share an apartment in New York City. It attempts to normalize homosexuality in society and uses Will's lifestyle to pander to a targeted LGBT audience. The third main character, Jack McFarland, is a sporadically-employed actor and a flamboyant, promiscuous homosexual whose life revolves around homosexuality almost every waking moment and attempting to get sexually involved with every man he comes across. Finally, the fourth main character, Karen Walker, is an amoral socialite whose existence plays up to and makes light of [[alcoholism]] and prescription [[drug abuse]].

In spite of its subject matter, the show became a surprise hit for NBC as part of its Thursday night "Must See TV" lineup, drawing an average of over 17 million viewers at its peak during its third and fourth seasons before its rating fell in its later seasons, with one seventh season episode, "From Queer to Eternity", drawing a record low viewership of just 5.8 million as viewers began tiring of the show. It ended production in 2006 after eight seasons and its reruns (which entered syndication in the fall of 2002) largely vanished from broadcast syndication in 2008, retreating to cable thereafter. It was revived by NBC for an abbreviated ninth season on September 28, 2017, with the network claiming that it has already renewed it for a tenth season, but based on its return episode, "11 Years Later" (which dove straight into politics as it made pathetic jokes about conservatives, attacked Donald Trump and took a cheap shot poke at Ronald Reagan's later struggle with Alzheimer's disease<ref>[https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/amelia-hamilton/2017/09/28/will-grace-embarrasses-itself-trump-reagan-jokes 'Will & Grace' Embarrasses Itself With Pathetic Trump Jokes, Abhorrent Shot at Reagan's Alzheimer's] at NewsBusters</ref>), and its viewership numbers (just 10.18 million viewers for its return, with its October 5 episode falling to just 7.14 million viewers), the ''Will & Grace'' revival may not be long for TV screens.
