I really liked Will & Grace and was extremely disappointed with the series finale. The behavior of the title characters was uncharacteristic. Am I really supposed to believe that they went almost 20 years with speaking to each other? Or that Jack hooked up with closet gay guy? There was no depth or closure. It seemed like everything was slapped together in a hurry. What happened with Jack's son? Also, it seems like the writers were saying that you can't have the love of your life and your best friend. Sad. Why did Vince take Will back when the only reason Will went back to him was because Grace left? That was apparently a non-issue, but I have a hard time swallowing that.

That 80s Show tried too hard
21 December 2005
I love The 70s Show, but That 80s Show tried too hard. That 70s Show is about a group of kids who happened to be coming of age in the 70s. The clothing, music, slang, vehicles, and everything else were a natural part of the script and set. That 80s Show tried to cram everything 80s into 30 minutes of television, with little or no thought to plot or character development. Every character was a simple dated stereotype. The writing was shallow and I didn't really care about anyone on the show. A shame, really, because the show centered around a record store - having grown up in the 80s, I think that the decade's music was the only decent thing to come out of that period. That would have been a great backdrop if the show had actually been about the characters, not the decade itself. Maybe enough time hasn't passed. Maybe they should try again in ten years.
