Groundbreaking sitcom Will & Grace has finished in the US, after eight
years of tightly scripted innuendo, teasing, counselling and dating highs and
lows.
The final episode featured a pre-show blooper real and some reflections on
the sitcom by its actors.
"I'm proud to have been given a platform to make people laugh" says Sean
Hayes, who played Jack.
The final farewell features all the main characters growing old and slightly
grey - and fan Bryan Careny said "At the end it was a little sappy, but how else
would you expect it to end? It's a show of eight years about friendship and love
amongst a culture that has not had acceptance for such a long period of
time".
Will and Grace picked up a string of Emmy awards and acheived more critical
acclaim than any other comedy featuring openly gay lead characters.
At its peak, the show was regularly finding a place in the top ten list of
most-watched shows.
