Everyone knows that Debra Messing has small breasts, including Messing herself. But NBC execs wanted her to have bigger ones.

At a panel discussion during the Tribeca Film Festival, the Will & Grace star disclosed that she wore "chicken cutlets," a form of silicone breast enhancer, when she shot the pilot of the show. But when the show was picked up by NBC, she didn't want to wear them anymore. After seeing the next couple of episodes, the president of NBC called the producers, wanting to know where her breasts went. They wanted her breasts back, but she refused to wear them.

I have to admit that I completely forgot that this show even existed, which is probably what happened with a lot of people and the reason why the show has been canceled.

The show debuted in September, and the ratings just kept on a-fallin. NBC Universal, the company that syndicated the show, isn't even going to let them do a final show. They're pulling the plug immediately. They thank everyone for their hard work, blah, blah, blah and they say Mullally is one of the most talented people, blah, blah, blah.

Actually, Mullally is very talented. She's an actress but also has a great singing voice and has released some albums. So it's not like she's going to have to wait at home doing Sudoku puzzles until the producers of Will and Grace do a reunion show. I'm sure she'll find work.

Hey, how about a spinoff featuring her Karen Walker character? I don't know how they'd do that without having Will, Grace, and Jack in there, but it might be pretty funny with some good writing.

Although the series finale of Will & Grace was a bit disappointing as a whole, one bright spot was a nice little duet between characters Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes). It happened towards the end of the show, when we fast forward about 20 years and find Jack and Karen living together. With Jack at the piano, they perform a nice rendition of Unforgettable. It was a pleasant little moment that showcased the other talents of both Mullally and McFarland.

Mullally, whose normal voice isn't as high or whiny as Karen's, has been a professional singer for some time. Before joining the cast of Will & Grace back in 1998 she spent several years on Broadway in the productions of Grease and How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying. She is also a lead singer for the Los Angeles-based band The Supreme Music Program. In 2002, Mullally and her band produced an album, Big as a Berry, which featured covers to such songs as Ode to Billie Joe and Danny Boy.

More information on Mullally and her band can be found at her official website. There is also a link for her new talk show, which is premiering this September. Perhaps we will hear more of Mullally's singing then.

(S08E23) There are those who are die-hard fans of Will & Grace, which premiered on the NBC schedule back in 1998. Then there are those who despise the show, which is about the relationship between Grace Adler (Debra Messing) and her gay friend Will Truman (Eric McCormack). The fans love the back-and-forth between the two characters and the dynamic of their relationship. Those who hate the show may be uncomfortable with the subject matter (homosexuality) or the cartoon-ish characterizations of Will and Grace's friends Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) and Karen Walker (Megan Mullally ), or the fact that it's just not funny.

I fall under neither category. I liked Will & Grace, but was not a huge fan. I'd watch it if I happened to see something interesting going on, and I'd laugh at a few of the lines (not as heartily as I would laugh during an episode of Scrubs, though). Yet, Jack annoyed me sometimes and the influx of guest stars on the show was somewhat distracting. In fact, over the last few years I didn't really follow it at all.

However, as this would be the last episode of the series, I decided to give it a review. My opinion on the last show of the series? Meh.
