Karen And Jack Are Coming Back To The Small Screen?

Karen And Jack Are Coming Back To The Small Screen?

I'm not so sure how people are going to take this news. There are reports claiming that a spin off is in the works for Will and Grace characters Karen and Jack. The show was originally supposed to launch several years ago but then Joey bombed and Megan Mullally got her own TV show. Now that those two bombs are out of the way, NBC is giving Karen and Jack a shot.

They feel there is still a lot of life left in their characters and a lot of comic possibilities."

If a pilot episode is successful, Karen & Jack could be on the air in the U.S. next autumn.

What do you think? Should they reprise these roles? Or just let the funny remain a great memory?

The two funniest characters on that show were Karen and Jack. I tuned in to see what Jack would do or say. Karen was one of a kind; but in order for the show to work, they need to get the same writers and bring back Karens' nemesis. The short little rich man who Karen hated.

OMG! I would so love for that to happen! I miss Will and Grace, and Karen and Jack were the best part of the show. My husband and I actually went as Karen and Jack to a Halloween party a few years ago!

I loved them and if they had launched the show immediately after Will & Grace was over, then I think it would have a better shot. If it happens, I'll probably tune in to try it out, but kind of think they should just leave it be. We all loved Joey on Friends and that turned into a disaster. Just because they were awesome characters doesn't mean that there's enough to support a whole show around them.

I never watched this show but why not give the spin-off a shot? It worked for Frasier.

They were funny, however I'm sure the writers had a little something to do with also.

Oh that would be so awesome! I LOVED Will & Grace, one of my fav shows. A Jack & Karen show would be hilarious. These two were by far the funniest on the show. I would so watch this!!

They were funny, true...but Will and Grace has been off the air for years. I think this will be a failure, as most sequels and spin-offs are. The magic was there once, but rarely is it there again. I think it's better to let Karen and Jack live on in reruns in syndication.

I'd so watch it. Karen was my favorite character! It's either going to bomb or be a blast. I don't think there will be a middle ground. But I would DEFINITELY watch it and give it a shot. I still watch all the Will & Grace reruns on Lifetime.

HELL YES!!! Come back Jack & Karen! There aren't many funny sitcoms on TV now. America needs to laugh, especially now.

I got my club name from Karen's character who never used her real name when they went out. She always introduced herself as..."Anastasia Beaverhousing". I use that name on MySpace....LOL! I would LOVE to see a "JAck and KAren" show. I still watch reruns of WIll and Grace all the time and I am working on buying the box set of all the season.
