flyboy- I was thinking the same thing. I have NEVER watched "will and Grace", and certainly don't intend to start now.
flyboy,
No, I do not watch Will and Grace.
When I read about the Will and Grace effort, I thought it must be another effort to grab some ratings. I used to love watching Will and Grace, but it fizzled, to my way of thinking, some years ago. Dragging in celebrities can't help a sagging show in the long run.
If they were going to try this with a good actress, I'd have considered looking at the episode as described.

Saw episodes one and two. Jane Curtin seems to be forcing everything which is sad because she is someone I usually like. I can't say as how I have ever liked Devane, to me he has never risen to even being a mediocre actor. The show itself is somewhat flat and I have no intention of subjecting myself to any more episodes of it.
So, where's the thread started by all the offended Jews out there? The show Son's and Daughters soon to be on ABC, takes quite a poke at Jews in their promo.
Sturgis,
I am afraid I have to agree with you on the Crumps. I have always loved Jane Curtain's humor but it does seem forced. I used to love Williane Devane on Knots Landing. He's just not a comedian to me. I don't think I will be watching it again myself.
Bella Dea,
I haven't seen that. Can you give a bit of info on it please?
Seaglass sez:
This is the funniest thread i have ever read on A2k, are you for real momma angel?
All I gotta say is:
I have a church, it has no steeple
I have a church, it has no people
I have a church, it has no baptismal
I have a church, it has no choir
I have a church, it has no Billy Grahams, Cotton Mathers, Jerry Farwells et al at all
I have a church, it has no virgins with yeast infections
It's just the Big Kahuna and me.
And in the sainted words of lenny Bruce "organized religion is (Big Biz)"
And if I have offended anyone "T S Elliot"
love seaglass
Merry Andrew,
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "am I for real." Could you elaborate, please?
Momma Angle
That was not Merry Andrew posting, it was
Seaglass his significant other aka Mrs Merry Andrew posting on his thread (I have his permission) and you will kindly note that I identified myself so I do not understand why you would ask him to elaborate on my commentary.
aloha

For the promo, they have the family talking about Jews. And then it cuts to a woman lying on the couch sleeping with a tiny little Sharpie mustash drawn on....Hitler style.
Seaglass,
That's ok. Thank you anyway.
Bella Dea, hmmmm. Not much to go on, is it? well, I think I will just have to wait until it comes out to make an informed decision. Thank you.

The show itself isn't about religion.
I was making a point that the promo, which showcased talking not-so-nicely about Jews and then referencing Hitler has not been pulled. So, why do Christians get their underpants all in a bunch over a show?
Well, I'm not sure about the underpants all in a bunch, Bella Dea. I thought I had explained my problem with the show but made it clear that the only thing I could or probably would do is not watch it. I did email the executives to ask them exactly what the show was about because I didn't want to jump to a conclusion. I think that is the best weapon any of us has when it comes to TV programs ~ just don't watch. As it is, the show didn't make it anyway.
Cartoons anyone? I think distasteful cartoons and tv show are able to stir the pot.

As is your right. But a lot of people do a lot of crazy weird things over crap like this.
Agreed, Bella Dea. Agreed.
I completely missed that.
