"Your Package Is Dripping"

The cast and crew of "Will and Grace" began their final season with a bang. Two live episodes (one for the East Coast and another for the West) and I must say, they did a bang up job.

I've been to see three tapings of the show and there is an obvious chemistry among the cast members that showed in spades last night. With seven seasons behind them they were a well oiled machine. It didn't hurt that they were handed their best script in years, with many zingers and one-liners that had me howling. (My favorite: Will pointing at Alec Baldwin's bag of melting ice cream, which is being held at crotch level, and saying "your package is dripping.")

The giggling between Debra Messing and Sean Hayes never seemed uncomfortable, but rather added to the essence of a live TV performance. And Megan Mullally was brilliant given her physical limitations (she hurt her foot at the Emmys earlier this month and the "W & G" script had to be altered to accomodate her injury).

All in all, it was a great way to start off their final season.
