IMDb Picks: 10 Best Movie and TV Bets for September9 of 10
"Will & Grace"
It's hard to think of a more consequential TV sitcom of the late '90s and early '00s than "Will & Grace," which in its eight seasons managed to bringing LGBT characters and issues to the TV mainstream and introduced to Thursday-night viewers four undeniably iconic characters of the sitcom genre. The show was an awards darling, earning 16 Emmy Awards (including at least one for Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen) and 83 nominations overall. And artifacts from the show such as props, scrips, and set decor were acquired by the Smithsonian Institution as part of their collection. All to say: The sitcom has made its contribution to both cultural and comedy history. Which is why fans across the globe are so excited to see the show return for a 12-episode ninth season. The whole gang is back, including Minnie Driver and Harry Connick Jr. in their beloved guest roles, with the noticeable exception of Shelley Morrison (Rosario). So expect the expected hilarity to pick right up. Fans aren't the only ones excited: NBC execs have already picked up the series for a 13-episode 10th season. — Bret
