Sam Harris' Perry Pearl, the gayest-straight-man-ever, did not appear on Monday night's episode of CBS' "The Class" but one of the real gay characters on this often-funny sitcom, Kyle ( Sean Maguire), shared some terrific scenes with Ethan (Jason Ritter). I think this friendship between a straight man and a gay man could really invigorate the show which has suffered from its large cast not interacting enough with each other.

So Ethan (he doesn't know Kyle is gay) shows up at Kyle's apartment to pick him up for a raquetball came and sees a picture of Kyle's boyfriend.
Ethan: Is that your brother?
Kyle: It's my partner.
Ethan: Oh, your business partner?
Kyle: My PARTNER partner.
Ethan: Oh! That's fanTAStic! It's fine...it's...REGULAR.

So with that out of the way, they become involved in the episode's plot where one of their friends has crashed into a liquor store (he lost control of the car when a bee flew in the window). and their comic chemistry was very fresh and welcomed. So hopefully Ethan will hang out with Kyle and his boyfriend in future episodes and maybe he'll even get to interact some with Perry Pearl!
