Taye Diggs/Will and Grace Spoiler

Hi boxers..in answer to your question, first of all, we got there at 2 for a 5 o'clock taping. Public tickets are standby so if theres a lot of VIPS they get in first. We managed to get in but barely. Its filmed at CBS Studios in Studio City...(as is Passions btw).

The taping started at 5 and didnt get over until around 9ish..Ive heard some tapings take up to 10 hours! I was surprised at the number of times the cast flubbed up. The kid who played Jacks son, flubbed up quite a bit, but everyone did. They either forget their lines or screw them up. I didnt see any scenes redone because the acting wasnt up to par. Depending on where they screw up, they either reshoot the entire scene or from the time of the problem. Once they get a scene right, the producers, directors and writers get together and determine if they need to make any changes. The audience can see all of this happening, but cant hear what theyre saying. The writers do usually change a few lines and then they reshoot the entire scene. One example was where Jack named the title of the book...they changed that but wound up using the first take.

There were three sets...the hotel lobby...pool area..just a platform, and a bedroom which doubled as both Wills bedroom and jack and his kid (they just moved the bed from one wall to the other and changing the bedding). Everything is filmed in order. There is a somebody in the audience who gets the audience cheering and theres prizes of tshirts and caps for those who are the best laughers/cheerers.

Friends of mine went to a taping last week, which was the wedding episode, but theres a twist at the end they said and they wouldnt tell me...That shoot took 5 hours btw.

Pretty sure it was a repeat of the one where Jack meets Cher and she slaps him.

Eek! Really?? Let me go double-check our listings. (The Pacific airing should be in an hour then.)

---

All of NBC's comedy line-up tonight was re-runs, which didn't jibe at all with TV Guide.

We were supposed to see a new episode with Grace telling Leo she is pregnant. They showed two re-runs instead which I saw 20 times. I was disappointed.

Oh God, I hope he and Grace don't get back together.

Isn't it supposed to be his baby though?

---

I *think* that Leo is engaged to someone, only because on the NBC website when they had the supposed new episode listed it mentioned that Leo had some shocking surprise, or something along those lines. He is probably engaged, but will end up with Grace by the end.

Did anyone watch Taye's last episode today?

I was completely disappointed. I posted this on the main board already, but basically I don't see why they (FINALLY!) set him up as being Will's dream guy and potential long-term partner, just to make him do a complete 180 and become an unlikeable douchebag. If this is all build up for Jack and Will to end up together in the last episode, it'll officially be the worst TV sitcom ending ever. (In my humble opinion.)
