TV Hot Spot: The Class

The Class Episode 9:
The Class Gives Thanks

Review by: Sal

Hey everyone. Your Host, Sal, here again. And Im about to review the latest episode of CBS's new fresh comedy this fall. The Class. Now this series is written by some of the writers of Friends. And by knowing that, peoples expectations of this series were sort of higher than they recieved. The series averages around 8 to 9 Million viewers a night, which isnt bad, but obviously could do better for a CBS sitcom. Now going with this episode the ratings of viewers were around 8.3 Million. Which is good. Not bad. And the episode was actually more amusing to watch. So lets head on with the review.

This episode is about thanksgiving, and the characters are all brought up into three different scenarios. The first scenario included the characters Nicolle & Yonk Allen, as well as Duncan Carmello and his mother. A hilarious addition as well was Yonk's daughter Penny (The Creature or Shrek). Which I actually found very funny. Throughout the scenario, you feel the akwardness of Duncan and Nicolle. Their past relationship of course getting in between. Another thing I found extremely funny was when Duncan's mom phones in from the intercom and claims that she is lost somewhere on the second floor. So later on, Yonk FINALLY finds out that Nicolle and Duncan used to date, and to me, I honestly thought he was going to react badly towards this. Maybe even feel threatened from Duncan and fire him...but that isnt the case and the whole thing ends up having a nice ending. Although...When Yonk asks Duncan about some personal questions about Nicolle, you could basically see that Duncan still cares for Nicolle....I hope the writers will put them both together soon...

Ok second scenario. Holly and her family invite Kyle and his partner over for thanksgiving dinner. The line which bests describe this scenario was said by Kyle himself and that "Daughers always marry their fathers". Which of course meant that not only is Holly's husband sending off mixed signals of his sexuality, but also Holly's father. This scenario was fun to watch, yet not as amusing as I thought it would have been...

And finally the last scenario. Between Richie and Lina. And included a bit of Kat and Ethan. Finally! Lina finds out about Richie's double life and doesnt forgive him in the end. Which I think is smart of her to do, but at the same thing if only Richie got there sooner...damn writers! The way Kat reacted towards Richie was the best part of the whole episode. The fact that she wanted to spray him with cooking spray was funny. We only see a bit of Ethan in the end.

Overall, good episode. Duncan and Nicolle obviously still have feelings for one another. And I hope the writers do something about it soon. Richie and Lina...boy...I wouldnt want to be in his shoes. He left his wife, and his girlfriend dumped him. Now he literally has no-one. Anyway, this has been fun as usual. Another review will be coming shortly. Please keep the comments coming. I can see that a few people are visiting the site so I am excited about that!

Take care everyone.
