After those three episodes, I am not sure I can see myself watching more. The laughs are sparse, the laugh track is heavy, and I found myself watching in disbelief. The Class is all setup and no execution.
Are you still with me? Among the people who show up are twin sisters with opposite attitudes, a construction worker who lives with his mom, a depressed guy who was about to commit suicide, and a woman who married a former NFL star, but actually holds a crush for construction guy. Oh yeah, there is the woman who was dumped by her classmate boyfriend at prom, after discovering he was gay, and marries an effeminate man who may be gay. I wonder how many more cliches they could have crammed in there.
Of course, the party does not go as planned, but it does kick off a number of new people combinations. So off the show goes, juggling stories and relationships at a fast and furious pace. The problem is that with so many people involved, in so many different locations, none of them get much screentime.
What we end up with is a completely ludicrous setup, too many characters, too many locations, and not enough time. I don't really see this one lasting long, unless it starts getting better after the third episode.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't like parts of it. I like the cynical twin, the love loving twin is kinda goofy, and I like the building tension between Ethan and cynical twin. That's about it. If you're expecting a new Friends, this isn't it.
The series premieres on CBS on September 18, 2006 at 8:00.
