THE CLASS

Premieres on the CBS Television Network on Monday, September 18, 2006

ON AIR: Mondays (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT)

THE CLASS is a comedy about the lives of a group of 20-somethings inextricably bound together by sharing the same third grade class. Ethan Haas (Jason Ritter) is head-over-heels in love with his fiancé, for whom he has planned the ultimate surprise party -- a reunion with their third grade classmates to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day they met. The classmates include Lina Warbler (Heather Goldenhersh), who wears her heart on her sleeve and remains optimistic about love although she was recently dumped; her cynical twin sister, Kat Warbler, whose sarcastic tongue hides her kind heart; Duncan Carmello (Jon Bernthal), the well-liked boy in school who is in a band and still lives with his mother Tina (Julie Halston) with whom he constantly bickers; Kyle Lendo (Sean Maguire), who every girl had a crush on and is now happily in love with his live-in boyfriend; Richie Velch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), a happy kid whose life has gone downhill since third grade until the reunion invitation sparked his curiosity; Holly Ellenbogen (Lucy Punch), whose heart was broken when Kyle cheated on her at the high school prom and can't wait to show him what a successful news anchor she's become and how happily married she is now to Perry (Sam Harris); and pretty, popular Nicole Allen (Andrea Anders), who was once in love with Duncan (Jon Bernthal) and is now the unfulfilled trophy wife of legendary football star/BBQ-grill spokesman Yonk Allen (David Keith). Two decades later, a group of grade-schoolers' lives intersect once again, giving them the uncommon opportunity to learn how everyone turned out and to rebuild old friendships.

PRODUCED BY: craneklarik productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: David Crane, Jeffrey Klarik and James Burrows

I am looking forward to seeing this when it premieres! I got to see the pilot, and laughed a lot! There are some quirky, funny characters that immediately pop out! This is definitely on my must-see list.

Scoobiedoo30 · 09-08-2006, 03:30 PM

I am going to have The Class on Season Pass so I can watch Mama's Family on The I Network

puertaazul · 09-08-2006, 03:56 PM

I'm looking forwards to seeing this show too.

I dvred this pilot & watched Sat morning. I thought it was wonderful! Laughed out loud a number of times! I put it on record weekly. Has great promise, better than any current comedies on HBO.
Having such a large cast should be a non issue. There were many prominent characters besides the main 4 in Seinfeld. Mary tyler Moore had a large cast as did Cheers. Great shows all. This show will get me watching CBS on Mondays again.

saw the premiere last night, it was really good!

yankeesfan82 · 09-19-2006, 09:18 AM

It was interesting. I'll watch it again next week, but I don't know if I'll continue to watch it.

puertaazul · 09-19-2006, 01:19 PM

I think that the second episode and beyond will be a lot stronger than the first. From what I have heard, there are people who think that it just wasn't that great, but I think that it was just a way of introducing everyone and setting up the storyline. I still think that it has some real potential!

Raisingdad2004 · 09-19-2006, 02:30 PM

More annoying than funny.

I can't remember over half of the characters names and I just watched it.

Some of the actors are just plain terrible and the writing wasn't great, mostly silly cliches than are not funny.

The two sisters are incredibly annoying, one yells every single line and the other talks like she has a frog in her throat.
