Man that final shot of the "Will's Dad" episode when they close in on the statue thing Will got for him. Oh God. Oh God, how I cry. Every time.
The agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been.

I think this will be the next thing I watch. Have the whole thing on DVD; seen probably most but not all episodes. I do love sitcoms that can be serious.

Yeah, the Will's dad bit is the best bit. Everything about it is just perfect, which I wouldn't expect from a comedy like that, doing a dramatic bit. It's right up there with the saddest TV moments ever.

Favorite sitcom of all time.

And sadly, I must object to number 13 because it was totally a ploy. I believe he got his friend to hit on her like an ass, so he could swoop in and save the day like a white knight.

So, it appears he simply "learned" how to manipulate women better. [none]

Also #4. "I'm running the same race and jumping the same hurdles you are." So false. Rich black people and non-rich black people may face some of the same issues; but there's a whole bunch of issues that rich black people don't have to face.

Yeah...I had mixed feelings about that one. It's complicated. But, I think it was really more highlighting the problematic idea that some black people aren't "black enough" because of how they dress, talk, etc.
