...for 10 episodes on NBC next year.  I wonder how they will handle the story line and stay true to the original finale.

I don't think that's possible. The original ending sucked, so if they just ignore it that's fine with me. Better to just forget it.

Sick, pathetic POS

Just... ignore the ending. Isn't that what the 2016 election bit did, already?

I believe if they were following the finale timeline, Will and Grace wouldn't even be on speaking terms Today.  Best to ignore it.  That entire final season was desperately unfunny.  Hope this is a return to form.  The election episode was a positive sign of a return to form.

But, they were speaking at the end of the final episode, over lunch at their children's college.

Et al, lah ... Poof! Cheyenne Jackson ordered me a drink at Standing Ovations 2 waayyyyyy before Girly hung out with him in the dressing room and he tickled D2.

Right, but that was set decades in the future, circa late 2020s. Will's son went on to marry Grace's daughter too, as I recall, having met (for the first time) at college...so yeah, the new season should definitely be in an alternate universe.

Sick, pathetic POS
