Thanks for this AGBGTG. I have to say, I watched Will & Grace semi-regularly, and I think it is underappreciated. As you said, it put a gay character into the spotlight, but I think its most important - let's call it merit for lack of a better term - is the constant focus on the character's homosexuality. To me, it was the first show I can remember that focused on that and portrayed it as something normal. Also, there was the idea that gay people can actually have a commited long-term relationship as oppose to the stereotypical promiscuous hedonistic gay man that I was used to seeing on TV (mainly in commemorating Will's 6-year-relationship with his ex-boyfriend if I remember correctly, and said ex-boyfriend's new relationship).
PS: the actor who played the sidekick's name is Sean Hayes, not Stephen...
