Season 1 Review:
The premiere episode strains the hardest for relevance. ... The revival is steadier in the next two episodes, where it settles into its nimble mode of zingers, farce and slapstick. This is the sort of sitcom where, if two people walk into a fancy automated shower, you know they will get trapped in it. There’s a comfort in that. The show also retains its core dynamic.

Season 1 Review:
If you missed those two, and their more broadly drawn sidekicks, they’re definitely back, and pretty much the way you remember them. ... It may be unfair to expect that series to be groundbreaking. But after all these years, it’s hard not to want a little more than the same old story.

Season 1 Review:
[The premiere] Titled "Eleven Years Later," it's a clumsy bit of catching up and realigning the show's pop culture references in ways that made me cringe frequently and laugh never. ... It's in the second episode that acknowledging the passing of time begins in earnest and really benefits the show.

Season 1 Review:
The innuendos would make a seventh-grader giggle. ... Mullally’s Karen remains one of network TV’s greatest comic creations, even when she’s saddled with such lines as “Hasta la homos!” Hayes’ shtick has not aged well. Messing seems to be reading her lines in the pilot. It’s not all bad. The theme song has been given a kick.

Season 1 Review:
When it premiered in 1998, Will & Grace was groundbreaking for its matter-of-fact depiction of the friendship between a gay man and a straight woman, even if its sitcom rhythms were already somewhat played out. Those jokes and storylines have only gotten weaker with age, and what was once a trailblazer is now left far behind.
