Summary
"Homo for the Holidays" (November 25, 1999)
What? An episode of Will & Grace that Drew actually likes? Kind of! This season two episode has Jack coming out to his mother over Thanksgiving dinner, and it's basically the gayest Thanksgiving episode of any sitcom ever. And it's a good piece of TV with some thoughtful dialogue, even if a lot of the jokes are very representative of that Will & Grace style, which you either like or you don't. Also: Is Jack McFarland responsible for popularizing the phrase "platinum gay"?

| 1:01.3 | We also touched upon it because you had me listen to it by mistake for a Christmas episode. |
| 1:06.0 | It is not a Christmas episode, is it? No. It's very much a Thanksgiving episode. |
| 1:09.9 | Yeah. So this made sense to do it now. |
| 1:14.3 | Before we get into it, though, I wanted to ask our readers if they can think of other |

| 1:33.6 | Do they? |

| 1:39.1 | There's also the Thanksgiving episode, like season four, I think, that I remember enjoying. |
| 1:44.5 | I would like alternatives. |
| 1:46.0 | If we can rotate in and out of Will and Grace every other year, I would like to make room |
