Will & Grace Season 5 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Will & Grace Season 5 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Season Five finds Will and Grace considering having a baby, the possibility of true love for Grace, Karen's (Megan Mulally) world changing, Jack's (Sean Hayes) apartmentside cafe and of course plenty more snappy one liners and even a few dance moves. Eric McCormack and Debra Messing lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2002. The timing in Will & Grace Season 5 is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Will & Grace Season 5 respects your intelligence. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Eric McCormack sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
