Say Goodnight, Gracie

NBC aired the finale of Will & Grace tonight.

It was never one of my absolute favorties, but when a series i once followed ends, i'm inevitably saddened.

Of course, when the time comes to wrap things up, writers are in a rush to nudge the main characters toward a happy ending. Both Will and Grace wind up with the love of their life.

For eight years they each struggled in the romance department. Eight long years. And now, all of a sudden, miraculously, everything works out.

Perhaps people like JD and i are not with the love of our lives because, well, our series is not nearly over yet.

Or perhaps our writers are just not mainstream enough to do happy endings.
