Sorry, what?

The press release breathlesly exclaims "Will and Grace back for Season Eight!"

This is great news, because it turns out we've all been worried that NBC might not commission another series of the award-winning, globally syndicated, massively money-spinning comedy series.

But, hidden away in the details of this standard PR pap is something truly shocking.

According to the Boston Globe, "for the first time since the series debuted in 1998, Mullally (Karen) and Hayes (Jack) will be brought up to full paycheck parity with Messing and McCormack."

So, wait a minute, you're telling me that for the past seven years they paid more for Dharma and Greg Will and Grace than the two funny ones?

Who would have thought it, etc?
