Nah, they're done. Unless you are hoping for some sort of "Golden Girls" type reunion. *LOL*
W&G started off well, but has slowly been declining in rating, especially after that Christmas episode.
Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes all made bank from this reunion (reportedly five (5) million per season), this on top of whatever they were getting from syndication of first series along with a cut of DVD sales and other goodies. The W&G reboot will add to the syndication and is already selling DVDs.
World has changed in the eleven years since original W&G went off the air, especially for gays. That a successful, well off, Manhattan white gay man like Will Truman would still be tied to the hip to Grace is laughable.
They should have built another ground breaking comedy about gays, but this time with Will and his husband.
I'm a huge fan of the original. The reboot not so much. Some of the episodes were funny but not enough. I'm glad they're doing 1 more season. It'll be interesting to see Jack married.
First and foremost all four main characters were just getting too far along in middle age to pull off "happening" New York City singles.
Debra Messing had put on weight over that 11 years, and she sent up and down from ballooning to slimming all through this reboot.
Karen was turning into a caricature of Patsy Stone (Ab Fab), way too old for boozing and pills. Then there was the whole "is she, or isn't she a lesbian" thing.
All the middle aged white well off gay guys I know like Will Truman in NYC are either married with kids, married but no kids, adopted or had surrogate kids (like Andy Cohen), or simply are enjoying being well off and not tied down. They travel, hang out with other gays like themselves..., but they don't spend all their free time with some mooching female "best friend".
Show has boxed itself into a corner. Having brought W&G back totally making as if the final season didn't happen (neither Will nor Grace married and had kids), they can't go down that rabbit hole again. So only one left is Jack to marry off, which may prove interesting, but isn't enough to carry the show.

Why can't older people be "happening"? SATC spent 6 seasons and 2 movies proving its possible. And what's wrong with having a best friend as a life partner rather than a romantic one or being alone?
I don't understand why you (viewers) seem to want a reality show than a comedy TV show.
