NBC (Thursdays, 9 p.m. ET)
In its main May-sweeps story line, Will & Grace has been proving once again that love is blind and sitcoms needn't make sense. I don't grasp what Grace (Debra Messing) sees in Nathan (guest star Woody Harrelson), the impudent slob she began falling for when he rebuffed her complaints about his laundry-room etiquette. Disbelief is my reaction to the hour-long season finale (May 17) when Grace installs Nathan in the apartment she shares with her gay friend Will (Eric McCormack). Still, it's fun to watch Nathan drive Will up the wall—until they suddenly and implausibly start getting along. Meanwhile, madcap Jack (Sean Hayes) goes from searching for his father to learning he himself has a son. I don't buy this twist either, but who cares when Hayes is paying hilarious homage to Barbra Streisand's Yentl?
Bottom Line: Laughter over logic
