"...make Chicken Piccata!"
Oh, I love it. The deliciously flamoyant Perry Pearl (played by Sam Harris) returned to the CBS sitcom "The Class" on Monday night and brightened up things considerably. The actress who plays the wife of the seems-so-gay-but-is-straight Perry has left the show but writers found a way to incorporate Perry into the Valentine's Day episode. He shows up to Nicole's house for an interior decorating job and gets snowed in along with Duncan who is Nicole's high school boyfriend and now contractor. Perry insists on making a Valentine's Day dinner. "This is my holiday," he said. "This and Thanksgiving and Christmas and the Academy Awards!" When Perry flounces out of the kitchen holding some Pears Flambe, he says: "At our house, it's not Valentine's Day unless there's something flaming!"
I had been wondering if Perry would end up coming out as gay but now I have no idea since Monday's episode indicated that he and his wife has a rather robust sex life: "We have a highly sexual relationship all the time - but throw in Cupid and some roses and it's SING OUT LOUISE!"
I was encouraged a bit that Kyle, whose boyfriend has been absent from the show since like, November, at least got to talk to him on the phone to acknowledge his existence: "Oh God, I miss you so much," he said.
So do we!
