I read that season 5 is gonna be released in the u.s in august on dvd - but at the same time in the u.k we get season 8. Does anyone know why it took so long for the u.s seasons to finaly appear ? , let's hope you guys get some awesome special features on the box set .

The DVD's that come out on the UK are CRAP. Yes, C-R-A-P. They are taken down DIRECTLY from the TV. They have poor sound quality, and NO special features like ours.

Umm , jack ? , i dont buy my seasons from Ebay (home of fake dvd's) , thats E-B-A-Y , The special features on The dvd's are as following - seasons 1 to 4 - Bloopers , gallery , behind the scences.
season 5 - Will on "Will & Grace" (an hour of eric talking with a celebrity audience asking him questions about the show) , Behind the scenes featurette , season 5 bloopers , themed montage . Season 6 - "The last great sitcom standing " Extended interview with David Kohan & Max Mutchnik. Season 7 - has no special features. The Disc's cant be any better sound or picture quality. The only dvd's i have that are "Straight from tv as you called it " are Season 8 which are in HD which i downloaded from p2p networks BUT that is just to last me until it is released on dvd over here in august AND if there is any different special features on the U.S discs , i will be buying them too. So you saying that the dvd's in the uk are crap , i believe you are "JUST" mistaken. The only Will & Grace DVD that i have ever bought from Ebay was the last 3 episodes of season 7 which were "For your Emmy Consideration" and im happy to say was an original disc (which is a rare thing for ebay lol )

If you have digital Will and Grace series 8 has already started on T.V. It's on Thursday night at 9.00pm on Living TV. It's a few episodes in though. The one on 1st of June was the christmas episode!
