Will & Grace
Created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, Will & Grace focuses on the friendship between best friends Will Truman (Eric McCormack) and Grace Adler (Debra Messing). The sitcom ran for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006 and returned for three more seasons from 2017 to 2020.
Along with the titular duo, the main cast includes Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes). Fans will also recognize recurring characters Beverley Leslie (Leslie Jordan), Vince D’Angelo (Bobby Cannavale) and Marvin “Leo” Markus (Harry Connick Jr.).
Will & Grace was initially criticized for its LGBTQ+ representation, which some viewers considered stereotypical, but the series went on to become a pop culture staple. It earned 18 Emmy Awards throughout its run, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2000.
