NBC specifically lined-up brand new seasons of Superstore, The Good Place, Will & Grace, and Great News to debut all tonight culminating in a two-hour block called NBC Comedy Night.

That’s not unlike NBC’s powerhouse sitcom block from yesteryear, Must See TV (of which Will & Grace used to be a part of and, we guess, be a bridge from past to present).

However, we’ll just have to wait and see if NBC Comedy Night can bring the peacock back to where NBC used to be, riding high from Seinfeld to Friends to Will & Grace.

‘Will & Grace’ Revival Extended to 12 Episodes

Orginally, 10 episodes of the revived Will & Grace, complete with the original cast and creators returning, had been ordered.

Now, NBC has ordered two extra episodes ever getting closer to a full season order. Honestly, if the cast’s schedule permits, don’t be surprised if there are episodes ordered on the back end.

(via Variety)

HBO has a very intriguing addition to their comedy development slate with a comedy from Will & Grace’s Max Mutchnick based on a book by Laura Kightlinger.

So, it being at HBO and the book being about a single mom looking for a husband in the 70s from Kightlinger, it should make for a nice, ripe, dark comedy.

Veep, Will & Grace, Last Week Tonight, and SNL Win at 2018 Writers Guild Awards
