CBS is ordering more episodes of "The Class" which is great news. The Monday night sitcom needs to trim some of its characters (let's start with the married woman and the carpenter, pu-leeeze) but there is lots to like:
The show has a happy gay couple who are quite appealing and they have a lot of interaction with a married couple that includes Perry Pearl, a husband (Sam Harris) who hilariously fits many gay stereotypes: he named his daughter Oprah Liza Pearl and dressed her up as Audrey Hepburn from "Breakfast at Tiffanys." I wonder what direction they will take Harris' character of Perry Pearl who also clearly seems attracted to men.
And even though his character is straight, I think Jason Ritter is showing himself to be a wonderful comic actor who would make his late father, John Riktter, very proud. Anyway, the network is still hammering out whether or not to order a full season but at any rate, it has committed to enough episodes to allow the show to continue to build an even bigger audience.
