Michael Beaty says goodbye to Wil & Grace. I can't say I personally will miss them (Karen only for me) but I understand why people will. I feel about them kinda the way I feel about the Clintons. Disappointment. It's like this... when you're popular you can get away with anything. The lyrics to "popular" from the musicalWicked apply. They're meant to provoke laughter but they're actually full of truth. W & G could have been a ton more progressive and world changing than it was --it always shied away from taking gay relationships seriously. They were only ever for jokes. Notice how in the end, 8 years later, Grace's lovelife is still the only thing that we're really supposed to care about or consider on a dramatic level.

I agree with you that Will & Grace could have been much more progressive than it was but I still think the show deserves praise for its positive protrayal of gay people. I love what they tried to do with the Jack character.
That said, I imagine the show did not push the envelope because it was on a majr network that was afraid to show to the American public anything more than sexless / harmless gay characters on tv. In the end, I liked the show more because it was funny and not because of its political stance (or lack thereof)
