Will I watch? Sure!
Of all of the things that are having a comeback in 2017 (fascism, nazis, sneakers and jeans worn together), TV show Will & Grace is by far my favourite.
When I was a kid I got to watch TV for half an hour every night after homework was done.
Basically, that meant I got to pick one show each night. I never picked Will & Grace. But that’s because I was a foolish kid who also believed that George Bush was going to be America’s most embarrassing president. It wasn’t until I was much older and with the good sense to give up reading entirely that I had the time to catch up on all the TV I’d missed. It was then that I discovered Will & Grace.
A half-hour sitcom about a man and woman living together in an apartment in New York. It was just like Mad about You, except they’re not married and he’s gay. Will & Grace returns this year after a decade-long absence, so I’ve been inspired to make a comprehensive and exhaustive list of my favourite and least favourite things to make a return in 2017.
Will & Grace Rating: 5/5 Will & Graces
A revelation when it first came out, as one of the first prime-time major network shows to have half of the core characters be gay. It also starred Megan Mullally’s voice and Debra Messing’s hair. When the cast reunited for a 10-minute Hillary Clinton propaganda video, I knew a return season was a good idea. Hillary then lost the election and it was probably the fault of these liberal snowflakes, but that’s the price of quality entertainment.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Rating: 4/5 Will & Graces
Larry David has so much money now that this is purely a vanity project, which I respect. He has nothing left to lose, which is a real thing Max Key once told me about himself. So, I guess Max Key is our generation’s Larry David?
Fascism Rating: 1/5 Will & Graces
‘‘1’’ is the lowest score available on the scale. While I’d like to give it a symbolic ‘‘0’’, I have to honour the rating system.
Blade Runner Rating: 1 The Sopranos
Just like The Sopranos, I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard it’s good. The reboot stars the hot guy from The Fugitive and Ryan Gosling, so for that reason alone it’s worth a mention.
Short Bobs Rating: 3/5 ‘The Rachel’ haircuts
They look sharp, are easy to maintain and frame the face nicely. The only drawback is that just like The Rachel, everyone has them. But there are some things that everyone is meant to have: shelter, food, access to health care and education, a short bob and a kitchen island.
Adam Sandler Rating: 2/5 Happy Gilmores
I’m not sure if he’s having a comeback, I just have an instinct that something is brewing. If it doesn’t happen he’ll be fine. Grown Ups grossed hundreds of millions of dollars (add this fact to the pile of reasons that the end is nigh). Mail.
Nazis Rating: 0/5 Will & Graces
Nazis get a ‘‘0’’ because the rating system doesn’t really have any integrity left anyway – and they deserve it. Somehow, these leeches on society have managed to get more air time this year than they’ve ever deserved. With any luck nazis will got the way of Sex and the City 3 and disappear into an oblivion where they belong. Anyway, that’s my brave antinazi stance. Make sure to read next week, when I make a case for why murder is bad.
