Will & Grace is set in Manhattan, New York and is probably the most successful American sitcom after Friends. The four main characters are Grace Adler (Debra Messing), Will Truman (Eric McCormack), Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) and Karen Walker (Megan Mullally).

Grace is a talented interior designer with her own business 'Grace Adler Designs' and she shares an apartment with Will. The two went to high school together and used to be a couple until Will came out of the closet and realised his last attempt to “be straight” didn't work.

After the initial shock and possible heartbreak (prior to the show's first episode but shown as flashbacks in the third series) Will and Grace share a special bond that's a bit more than just friendship and not quite love. Will is a gay lawyer who enjoys keeping fit, taking care of his appearance and obsessing over cleaning.

Will is also best friends with Jack, a flamboyant aspiring actor who seems to go through boyfriends and jobs like they're going out of fashion. Jack is also gay and, although he has a bitchy streak, he does have a good heart.

Jack is best known in the show for his witty comments and slight lack of intelligence, which provides the basis for many laughs! He becomes close to Karen in the first series, Grace's alcoholic and sarcastic assistant.

Karen is married to Stan, a wealthy businessman who never actually appears on the show. She and Jack share a close friendship due to their similar personalities. Karen is blatantly tactless, but has the odd moment of compassion for the other characters. She has a live in maid names Rosario Salazar (Shelly Morrison) who lends many one-liners to the Will & Grace DVD Box Set.
