The Plot
Ellen lives in a picturesque but damp, cramped cottage in the town of Crantsford. She has recently been through a messy divorce from her dentist husband, Roger. Roger ran away to Provence with his dental nurse. Ellen is now struggling for money, she has had to sell her marital home and the little cottage was all she could afford to buy with her divorce settlement. Luckily the cottage has a barn attached, which Ellen uses to run a dried flower arranging business, she is finding the business is slow to become viable and things are looking decidedly gloomy for her financially.

Advantages: Fun acting, excellent timing, beautiful setting, lots of laughs Disadvantages: No smell-o-vision!!!!! Too smooth an ending.
character in "Between the Sheets" showed us how she can play a prude who learns to unleash her sexuality.
Here, she is none of these - she plays the part of Grace Trevethyn, a just-beyond-middle aged widow who has lived very comfortably all her life, only to find out after her husband's death that she is not only penniless, but heavily in debt. She is strong enough to accept the existence of her husband's mistress Honey (played by Diana Quick), but weak enough to know that her financial situation is close to hopeless. Grace is well aware of her strengths and weaknesses - the former being nothing more profitable than her skills as a gardener, who grows orchids (which could be a profitable endeavor, but, sadly not nearly enough to rid her of the tremendous financial difficulties that seem to mount with each scene).

Advantages: Funny show. Disadvantages: Very stereotypical.
Will & Grace is a Emmy award winning sitcom that aired between 1998-2006. The show takes place in New York City and focuses on Will Truman, a gay lawyer and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight Jewish girl who runs her own interior design firm.
That show sounds boring, why is it so good I hear you ask. The casting directors hired two perfect actors to play Will & Grace. Eric McCormack who plays Will isn't too gay like someone else in the show, so it makes it seem plausible that Grace thought he was straight.
Debra Messing who plays Grace is just so bubbly and eccentric that you can't help but love her. Most importantly though it's the chemistry between Will & Grace that pulls you in, I myself always thought that they'd get together in the end.
The show doesn't just focus around these two characters though, two of the best ...
