The Class (2006–2007)
10/10
This show is comedy gold
2 August 2009
I fell in love with this show after the first episode I ever watched. It was aired a year after it was cancelled over here in the UK, and I'll admit, I remember seeing it advertised on E4 and thinking that it looked really stupid, and that was an incredibly bad judgement on my part and also a big fault from E4, as they had chosen to make it look more like it was slapstick comedy than the witty, sarcastic comedy it actually is.

Once I decided to watch an episode, I was hooked, and I still am, a year later, because the show never gets old. I, along with many other fans of The Class, took an instant disliking to CBS once this was cancelled after only 19 episodes, but I'm gonna make the most of those 19 episodes, get every laugh out of them I can, because lets face it, it's better that it was made and lasted one series than our screens having not being blessed with it at all.

As the series goes on, the laughs get more, and never have I watched a comedy that has an actual laugh out loud joke in every single episode. Of course there are some sad story lines too, and even those can bring a tear to your eye, it is that good. The cast is beyond perfect (some of my favourites being Sean Maguire, Jason Ritter and Lizzy Caplan). Comedy timing is genius and the one liners and the simple sarcasm are just so funny, the series could have knocked Friends off of its perch if it had been given a fair chance.

Overall, please watch The Class, even though it's gone and, as much as it pains me to admit, probably isn't coming back, I promise you you will laugh harder than you've ever laughed before, and the show never fails to bring a smile to my face.
