    CBS shows off fall lineup, Jericho not included

    By Tim Surette, May 16, 2007

    For fans of Jericho, today was not a day they wanted to see. The postapocalyptic drama was left off of CBS's 2007-2008 fall lineup, along with Close to Home and The Class, and won't see a second season, reports Mediaweek.… more

  • An unexpected and refreshing sit com that really pushes the envelope.

    This was great. I really liked the darkness, totally unexpected in a "sit com"! Most of the other sit coms are so formulaic and everything is solved by the end but this one was truly something different. What other shows have people accidentally running someone over on their first date and then courting whiles she's in the hospital. Or when she actually killed a bunny with her high heels - I loved the gay husband and was waiting for the episode when he would come out of the closet! A daughter named Oprah? A hostage situation? I loved it! BRING IT BACK!moreless

    I will never understand CBS's decision to cancel The Class, it was one of the funniest shows on TV. I have been waiting for over a year for the only season to come out on DVD, but there still isn't a release date. However, I am happy to say that I was able to find all of the episodes on YouTube. They come in three seperate segments, but the whole season is out there. The downside to that is, I am only reminded of how good the show really was it opened up the same wound again. I know it's just a tv show, but when they put stuff like Worst Week on, I just don't get it. It should be called Worst Show.moreless

    The show was about a group of third grade class mates and the intertwined lives they lead at Twenty eight. The first (and only) season of the show is hilarious and works for the same reason other classic sit-coms do. Great writing, strong individual characters and a wonderful ensemble cast. The class constantly served up laugh loud situation and witty one liners during the strong first season. The Class had a lot more potential and a lot more to give. The show got consistently stronger through the first season run. What a real shame The Class is one the season one scrap heap.moreless

    This show is so hilarious. I love the writers of this show. They are just so lovable. They gave us so much laughter and entertainment every week. God bless them! They are just so great. The show also has great storylines. Adultery, revenge, love, reunions, hospitalization, marriage to a gay man... They are just to great. Every episode is so hilarious. We have been blessed with yet another hit CBS show. This series is my new best friend. It is one of the best shows on television. It is absolutely fabulous. It is a personal favorite, and a classic, in my opinion. Unfortunately, CBS chose Rules of Engagement over this show, and it was replaced with the worst show on television: The Big Bang Theory.moreless

    I thought that this was going to be a sad copy of Friends that would not work but then I watched it! It was hilarious in both verbal and physical comedy, done with excellent timing! Each character had attributes that make them individual and because they are adults they each have their own lives to deal with, which is done with excellence. It is wrong that it is finished but I have heard a rumour that it is going to be taken up by ABC, message me if you have any info!
    There were a few problems that I found initially with the sitcom but these also drew me to it, being that there were alot of stories going on at one time. Even though this made it slightly more confusing it also made me enjoy the sitcom more because there was something new to quench my thirst for stories.
    Another problem is also that not many of the episodes finished with everything being resolved, even though this did not follow the general rules of sitcoms it did draw me to the next episode and make me want to keep watching.
    The series finale was absolutly perfect! The way that Duncan and Kat used each other set up a perfect springboard into the next season. Also the Richie and Lina wedding would definatly be something to look forward to and how the whole Nicole-Duncan and Ethan-Kat situation would work itself out.
    Overall a fabulous sitcom!
