Will & Grace (Series 1 Episodes 9-15 DVD)  Series Rating  A
By Kage Alan

The first DVD of “Will & Grace” did so well overseas that they went ahead and released the rest of the season at the same time instead of spacing it out. Episodes featured on this disc are: “The Buying Game,” “The Truth About Will and Dogs,” “The Big Vent,” “My Fair Maid-Y,” “Secrets & Lays,” “The Unsinkable Mommy Adler” and “Will Works Out.” The highlights include what happens when one eavesdrops too much on their neighbors, Grace and the “ah,” Will dealing with what he sees in Jack as being “too gay” and the introduction of Grace’s mother played by the absolutely delightful and scene stealing Debbie Reynolds.

Medusa Pictures has delivered a topnotch Full Screen transfer of the episodes with excellent picture and audio quality. We are given the option of watching the episodes either separately or one right after the other and are given chapter breaks throughout as well. Very nice job, guys. As for extras, we get a couple of cast biographies, an animated picture gallery and a 2-minute preview of Season 2. It’s not much, but at least it is something. For anyone interested in ordering copies of the series, the discs are available for sale in Region 2 at www.blackstar.co.uk. They will NOT play on Region 1 DVD players unless you have a player that specifically allows you to access different regions of the world or unless you have the software on your computer that allows you to use your DVDROM drive in the same capacity.
