A Kiss on The Class

Remember the days when two men in bed on "thirtysomething" had advertisers fleeing the late-80s, early-90s touchy-feely drama? Times have changed, thankfully, and hopefully will continue to do so. This was proven on Monday night when CBS aired its new sitcom "The Class" and it contained a same-gender kiss between Kyle (Sean Maguire) and his gorgeous boyfriend, Aaron (Cristián de la Fuente). No one pulled ads.

CBS describes the show as "a comedy about a group of 20-somethings inextricably bound together by having been in the same third grade class. Two decades later, their lives intersect once again, giving them the uncommon opportunity to learn how everyone turned out and to rebuild old friendships."

The show has plenty of talented and attractive actors including the adorable Jason Ritter and openly gay performer Sam Harris who is best known for his fantastic singing on Broadway and in concerts. In "Class," the very handsome Sam plays Perry Pearl, a very gay-seeming "straight" guy married to one of the classmates. Whenever he is in a scene, be prepared to laugh. He even named his daughter Oprah because, he explains, "I'm a fan." Word has it that Perry may be coming out later in the season! His poor wife! She had her heart broken in high school by Kyle when he turned out gay and now Perry.

The show airs Monday nights on CBS at 8:30.
