I caught the last minute of W&G and here what is was:
Will, Jack, and Will's mother walk through the door. Come to my suprise, they are singing Mamma Mia!. His mom has a Mamma Mia! sweatshirt on along with a MM hat. Later they mention she bought a MM beach towl and Waterloo water bottle. Sitcoms should do this more often. I loved it. Anyone else catch it?

Yes, I caught it.

What you missed was the statement that if you miss the first 5 minutes of MAMMA MIA you miss the whole show. For 5 minutes you'd pay $100?

Yours for a better Broadway!

I have choir practice on Thursday nights, but I have a special arrangement with our director so I can leave early to catch WILL AND GRACE. This was a very funny episode and the references to MAMMA MIA were hilarious.

I LOVE ERIC McCORMACK!!!!!!!!!!

I love that tiny actor that plays Beverly Leslie, Karen's friend. They are a riot together. He has been on with her in previous episodes.

Not one of my favorite episodes. Last week's was so much better. The Mamma Mia references were the only thing funny about this week's episode.

i THINK that character actor's name is Leslie Jordan. He used to be on DESIGNING WOMEN quite often. He's the muse of the writer/film maker who did SORDID LIVES (which you should rent as he is featured) and i saw him last year in LA in a play called SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES.

I LOVE this show!!!

I haven't seen the whole epiode yet, but I did tape it. I did catch Blythe Danner in her Mamma Mia sweatshirt & cap, though.

Namo, I couldn't agree more. Bulldog.

p.s. The redheaded actress and Harry Connick's husband are the most boring and tedious aspects of this program.

mama mia!

Yeah, it was very funny. They also made a reference to "Les Miserables" as well...Will was talking about how much his mom hated musical theatre and how he took her to see that show and she said "Honey, in real life poor people don't sing that much." Which I thought was funny, and then when Jack suggested they take Will's mom with them to see the show, and Will told her that they sing, she said "I love it when they sing! Wait...they aren't poor are they?" I found this very amusing as well.

Just like Will referring to Jack as "Eponine" from time to time makes me giggle.
