The Class

"The Class" got started a little slow but the writers are developing their characters into positions they are now using for very funny skits. This comedy was ideally supposed to be the successor to "Friends " but has the feel of something entirely new. The most recent episode where the subject of homosexuality is a major theme continues to keep me on my toes. The cast of the class is exceptionally strong and diverse. The late John Ritter's son is proving that he can do exceptional work in comedy as well as he did in drama ( "Joan of Arcadia" ). I recommend giving " The Class " a look for a few episodes so you can catch on to each characters profile.

The Class is the all new CBS show from Friends creator David Crane.I find this show one of the best sitcoms on T.V and if promoted better could become a classic.The basic premise of the show follows a bunch different characters who were in the same third grade class meeting up twenty years later at a reunion party.Certain members become friends and soon The Class follows three basic story lines.Story 1 follows Nicole a woman married to an NFL star who develops feelings for her ex boyfriend and current home renovator Duncan.Story 2 follows twin sisters Kat and Lina,and while Kat and new friend Ethan begin to bond Lina and her bad lucked,clumsy boyfriend run into many relationship obstacles.Story 3 follow Kyle a married homosexual being do favors by his high school girlfriend Holly who is married to a man who is seemingly gay.The Class has some lovable and original characters who each have a distinct personality which is a fresh change for T.V these days.The show is written brilliantly because they find a way for every storyline to progress further and further in a way that isn't boring or predictable.They end every episode with an unexpected cliffhanger which is an intelligent way to keep viewers interested and keep each episode new and fresh.The Richie/Lina storyline much like the Ross/Rachel storyline is who we all hope stays together and when they break up it's devastating because we know both Richie and Lina truly love each other.I love the originality and i love how every episode continues instead of everything being reset.The Class is one of my favorite T.V shows ever,I pray for Season 2.

I agree! I love "The Class" and think it's getting better, and the plot lines are starting to become clearer. At the beginning of the season, everything was kinda all over the place, but now it's settling down, in a way, and I think it has great potential to be the next "Friends" or "Seinfeld" if you give it a chance. In comparison with the bucket full of dramas on ABC and NBC this September (By the way- Nothing against them- Just Saying) It's good that CBS is getting some good comedy out there. So lets just stop watching reruns of Friends in hope it gets renewed and stop watching our box sets of 24 waiting for January and tune in on Mondays!

This was a very underrated show. Every time I saw Jason Ritter doing physical comedy I could see his father John. It was a great ensemble cast and had the potential of rivaling "Friends". With David Keith's performance of Yonk Allen ex Philadelphia Eagle's quarterback and Lizzy Caplan's cynical character marks a wonderful cast. I could never warm up to The Big Bore er Bang Theory.

The class, was one of the best sitcoms in terms of characters and casting and plot. However it was announced that CBS wouldn't continue it on for a second season due to slow viewer number of 15 million. Nevertheless I considered to be one of those sitcoms and experienced actors like Jon bernthal and Lizzie Caplan that were the heart and soul of the show and that is still yet to be discovered by today's young adults and society.
