I hope they just put the laugh track in the trailer as a comedic effect. I was really happy that laugh tracks are dead (except for CBS). Having gone this long without them, I’m not sure I can watch a sit com with one. ---

Laugh tracks are particularly odious when you are new to, or nor sold on, a show. There was something called the The Millers a while ago. Was it any good? I have no idea, I got through about five minutes of canned laughter occasionally punctuated by dialogue before giving it the spear. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > The promo is fantastic! I don’t care if the situation is plausible or not–I love this show and I’m looking forward to more of it! Ditto. Also,I hope they have more great guest stars like they did the first time around. It always seemed like they (“they” being the writers, show runner, etc)brought out the best in the celebrities who made appearances. I think my favorite was Matt Damon. ---

I liked it when Jack danced with Jennifer Lopez at Karen’s wedding. ---

I was only a casual viewer of the show but I’ll be checking out the reboot. In fact it might spur me on to go check out the old episodes this winter when I’ve got more time for TV. Is it just me or do all the actors look amazing for 20 years on? The only one that looks like he’s aged is Sean and he doesn’t look bad or old, just a little older than before. ---

The only one that looks like he’s aged is Sean and he doesn’t look bad or old, just a little older than before. I was thinking the same think. Megan Mullaly looks better than ever. ---

> [@Ranchoth](#): > > Anyway, I wasn’t really a big watcher of the show, but IIRC, didn’t the series finale, showing a flash forward some decades into the future, [kind of preclude an immediate “sequel” series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Finale_(Will_%26_Grace))? Assuming “real-time aging,” Will’s son and Grace’s daughter would be 11 or so years old by now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nbc-to-revive-will-grace/777517.md?page=1)
