The next Arrested Developement.

this show is so, so awesome

neurotic wannabee cool writers pop out the usual mindless nothingness

A very quirky, fun comedy. Ritter is great, but so is the rest of the cast. I'll definitely give it another week...

Funny funny funny. Twisted and touching. I dug it. Jon Bernthal is like every dude i grew up with and Sam Harris is the funniest thing on the show. Can't wait to see it next week.

I loved this show. So many of the characters reminded me of friends of mine. I especially loved Richie and Lena. They are too adorable. It is all funny and crazy, but at the same time it is relatable.

While the premise might have been a bit strained (not sure anyone can really hope to track down 3rd grade classmates after 20 years), the characters are interesting, the dialog is crisp and witty, and the acting is excellent. I was well entertained and hope this new show makes the ratings needed to keep going and have a chance to develop its characters into something different than the FRIENDS-clone I had worried it would be. It isn't a clone and deserves the time it takes to develop a permanent spot in the lineup.… Expand

one of two interesting characters the rest: blah

Fantastic show. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

Heather Goldenhersh (Lena) is a family friend of mine. I loved the show, and thought she was adorable!

Awful. Over-the-top and forced acting for the most part. Bits are so two dimensional and not thought out at all. Premise could've been something, but writing and performances will not.

very funny. it strings the story lines together like lost, but in sitcom fashion. very great.

This show seemed to have potential. It reminded me a bit of the feeling I had watching early Seinfeld episodes. It starts by developing characters but seems to have places to go. I liked the characters and they seem to be in the process of developing.

I have only one word to say about this show: HILARIOUS! From start to finish I laughed as hard and as loud as I have for any new comedy since Two and a Half Men started several years ago. Paired with that show as anchors for How I Met Your Mother and The New Adventures of Old Christine, the lineup makes CBS the place to be during Monday Prime Time.

I didn't expect much from this one but I tuned in anyway. I'm glad I did it was pretty funny! I hope it sticks around for a while.

Not funny. I expect ALL of the characters on the show to crack me up. I know it can be done. I've seen it on Will and Grace, Cheers, Seinfeld, Mash, Friends, etc. It's not a hit if everyone is not equally funny. Try to remember this writers.

Not a good show. I was very disappointed. I missed the first episodel, but it looks like I didn't miss much. Actually, the show made me long for King of Queens.

Horribly forced comedy with canneed laughter. Do something new, this show is bad.

It's the only show I watch on CBS.

I love love love this show, havent been able to find anything i really like since friends, but now i do

Interesting characters. Some decent laughs but the show is very stiff and the acting largely questionable.

no thanks

Funny show. I hope that Ritter pulls it off like his old man.

The premiere was iffy, but the last (third) episode had me rolling. This show is growing into itself and quickly. Keep watching!!!!!

Best new comedy in many years. Get past the concept and let it grow on you.

I was anticipating the premiere of the class especially with the success of How I Met Your Mother however I was extremely disappointed. Too many other good shows to waste my time with this campy, forced comedy.

borrring... {snore}

The biggest problem with this show is that none of the "characters" are funny. I really want to like it...I gave it three weeks. I didn't laugh once. Watch The Office or Scrubs if you want to see a good sitcom.

I LOVE THIS SHOW. I actually care about the characters. It took 4 episodes, but now I'm hooked. Emmy caliber stuff here.

I agree with J and M K...This show is lame. I have no idea why it has a positive rating since there is nothing enjoyable about the show. It's just a continuation of the same boring story every week... The characters are stupid and insulting.

Very endearing and original comedy with short stories that make me want to continue to watch and see what happens to the characters each week....

I was worried at first, I thought it had too many characters to keep up with, but, after the first couple of shows, Im completely hooked!

I hope it gets cancelled...

CBS has FINALLY struck gold with this fresh cast and hilariously funny writing. I NEVER thought I would EVER look forward to Mondays! Please don't cancel this show!

I'm not into sitcoms much, but I gave this a shot, and really enjoy it. I think the writing is very clever, and the cliffhangers are brilliant. I don't know who any of the cast is except Sam Harris, and he is hysterical. If anything, he makes the show. And David Keith was a blast from the past. If I had to say something negative, that would be about two too many characters. But at this point, I cannot imagine cutting anyone. In fact, Sam and Sara should be expanded. I hope they give it a very long shot. It's a really bad time slot and night.… Expand

Hilarious, fast and fun! It makes me want to laugh out loud.

"The Class" is an excellent way to unwind at the end of a Monday. CBS has briliantly brought a show to us, that has elements we all should be able to enjoy. The characters, although, not fully developed--but being only in the first season, how could they be?--are a witty formation of hilarity. Everything to Richies depressment to Kat's witty personality, not to mention the originality in making it a comedy of "old friends" coming together to see just how much life does change from when you are a child. To the familiarity of having a show like "Friends", makes this comical sitcom a winner from the get-go. I give "The Class" two thumbs up!… Expand

This is the best show I've seen in years. The actors have great chemistry and the writers are just amazing. Every week usually leaves you with a cliffhanger, wishing for more. Also, I have been moved to tears on more than one occasion. You start to love the characters after a couple of episodes. Richie Veltch and Lina, especially. Just spectacular drama on this show. Especially considering it's also a comedy. I can't get enough.… Expand

The show and the pairings grow on you. Needs a bit more Philly flavoring. As for the reviews, the emotions and situations only make sense for people who've experienced a bit of life, some real loss and a few well-thought-over regrets, and would seem stupid to teenyboppers or those emotionally still in 3rd grade - those are the ones who would dislike or hate the show. ( the break is pretty obvious, but these haters/zero-graders are nowhere near the show's demographic or target audience, anyway)… Expand

I liked this show quite a lot. Quite a lot of people have commented that it is somewhat slow. I rather like that it is not fast paced like every other American show. It reminds me of some of the very funny British comedies. It also seems more like a play than a TV show. I love the acting of all the main actos except for the actors who play Nicole and Ethan. Making it more multi-cultural would have helped. Given that the main characters have already been decided prehaps the creators could introduce characters of other ethnicities as the friends or romantic interests of these main characters.… Expand

good enough to watch each week, but not so good that I am on pins and needles to see what will happen, I think there are just too many characters to have to deal with that you never really get to know any of them.

This show gets better and better. Perry is the funniest character on TV. He should have his own show. Love Kat and Lina. I want to see Perry with more characters besides Holly. Keep it up.

Extremely funny, unique characters and EXCELLENT actors. i agree, it's almost like watching a live comedy play. I've seen which critics don't like the show and it's the same bunch that thinks every comedy should be edgy and somewhat vulgar. And this from a 34 year old guy.

Such weak writing! The actors seem to know how to pause to leave a space to be filled in by the overdone laugh track.

consistently laugh out loud funny - hope ikt stays on the air

This show is amazing! It should be back for a second season.

Great show!!!!!!!!

The jokes are dull and the acting is horrendous. The overused laughtrack became annoying especially as it's used after lines that aren't remotely funny.

I think this show is great and really funny. I almost always get several good laughs out of each episode. I'm glad they got rid of the TV newscaster's role, though.

Excellent show! It's a refreshing change from all of the CSI shows.

This shows is consistently funny. Great writing and performed nicely by a young cast. I sure hope CBS brings it back for a complete season.

I LOVE this show! It gets progressively better every week... Now that I've seen the season finale, I can only hope it will be back ASAP! The characters have deepened, and filled out (well, most of them...), and I really care about what happens to them. Ethan and Kat...wow! what a concept! Love them both! I also love Duncan and Nicole...they just have to get together! And Ritchie and Lina are fabulous! I also like the scenes with Kyle and Ethan... Please, PLEASE, bring this show back!!… Expand

This is the funniest TV show in a long time....its not full death, surgery or arresting someone....it deals with the quirkey daily lives of these people & I love it

Hilarious, brilliant writing, great cast... it's a sleeper hit...too bad it's not in a different time slot to capture ratings.

I could only stand about 5 minutes of the show. CBS should follow NBC's lead and attempt to air comedy that doesn't need to announce itself with canned laughing. Five minutes, and there were already too many witless comebacks to count on two hands.

I love this show. Please don't cancel it. It was so cute and real. The actors were some of my favorites. I like it better than "How I Met Your Mother" which is great also. I am 71 years old, so I think it appeals to everyone.

The first episode was OK, the writing and the acting was iffy, but i'm so glad i stuck around! It got so much better than i expected. I like how every show is a cliffhanger and i always want more. Please don't cancel!!! it's the best show i've seen in a long time.

This show did not catch my interest in the pilot season premiere but it has now come a long way since then. I just recently became hooked after watching the last six episodes on CBS.com and i truly hope they will not cancel this hilarious show now that i have just barely discovered it.

I love it! It's on the best night for TV and it's one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time! They can't cancel it!

I love this show. Is it coming back???? We have a whole group of us that watch and want to know.

My favorite 2006 comedy. Can't wait for it to return.

This show is very funny and has characters you will fall in love with. I would compare it to "Friends" (obviously nothing will every be better) but this show is one of my favorites from last season. I am so glad that it will be on again. I would recommend watching last seasons episodes if you have time... they are all on the CBS website and you can watch the whole season online! You will not be disappointed in this show.… Expand

Great show! Please don't cancel it, now that we've lost Friends this show came right at the perfect time...Please, please don't cancel it, we can't wait for it to return.

Good, fresh new show. Great blend of characters and good storylines.
