Will And Grace

Part two of this slick new sitcom and I'm almost impressed with its shameless celebration of the facile.

Seinfeld and The Office manage to show that everything we do is absurd and meaningless, but they have a knowing air that makes them comic. This, on the other hand, is like Changing Rooms with a poor script.

Grace, while claiming to be straight, is the Mr Humphreys of the piece: a hysterical, self-absorbed interior designer who uses babyspeak to get her own way.

There's no gay stereotyping with Will - he's an asexual, successful lawyer - but Grace is a fag hag cliché. It's as if she couldn't find any girlfriends who could share her over-excitement about cushion covers.

This isn't a sexuality thing - it's a meeting of materialist minds.
