The Class - 02/26/2007- "The Class Rides a Bull"

Whoever called Yonk's heart attack from the last thread you get a star.

I was a bit surprised by Benjamin's girlfriend. I'd have preferred her ending the relationship later since it seems very soon (and very convenient) after Ethan's.

Ritchie in the steak house was amusing. :D

[madscientist]

Yeah, the heart attack was not too surprising. Having Yonk dumped for another guy just doesn't seem, well, funny. And that would be hanging over that relationship. Much better, for a comedy, if Yonk is out of the picture due to a heart attack (I know it sounds weird to say that it's better for comedy if he dies but... well, you know what I mean).

Just a so-so episode, although Richie is always good for a few laughs. I did like Ethan's conversation with Ben's son, though, that was a riot: "okay, we're getting off track here..."

[mdsutherland]

I am getting a little nervous that all of the man characters could be dating soon. I really like Richie and Lina. I hope Ethan and Katt just keep being good friends and then maybe one night a drunken fling for something similar can bring up the relationship questions.

I assumed they would go in the other direction, with Nicole staying with Yonk to help him recover from the heart attack. It lets them continue the whole "they're in love but can't be together" storyline.

They still may go in a different direction.

I think that Yonk will not die, but instead be bed ridden and Nicole will not be able to leave him in his current state. That keeps the Tension going between her and

I certainly think we'll see an episode or two with Yonk bed ridden but as the writers showed with Richie and Lina, they will break her out of a relationship.

I think that's the one nice thing about this show is that they don't seem to terminally stretch out some awkward situation or relationship. Even the budding trouble between Kat, Ben and Ethan has already been finished.

I can't remember who it was, but thought of it while it was happening on the show, good call.

How can someone as hot as Benjamin have such an ugly kid? I did like Kat doubling over Ethan's hands, that made me laugh. I thought her look in this episode was very soft for her, she looked very pretty.

And Richie, he's funny!

[IJustLikeTivo]

Yes, they are clearly cleaning her up a bit. They appear to be doing an Ally Sheedy Breakfast club style makeover with less dark eyes and a more open smile. It works for me, I really like the newer look. She was on some talk show and she looked much better there than she used to on Class.

Richie makes this show for me. "I'm burping hooves" cracked me up.

I assumed they would go in the other direction, with Nicole staying with Yonk to help him recover from the heart attack. It lets them continue the whole "they're in love but can't be together" storyline.Sure, that's another option. But the point is, they needed the heart attack so they could keep Nicole from dumping Yonk cold like that. That's just not good comedy (since Yonk is a fairly sympathetic character--sure he's a macho schmuck, but he's not mean or nasty).

[FilmCritic3000]

Well, we could have seen the ending coming; alot of people on here had already surmised what was going to happen to Yonk.

So will the Benjamin breakup be the catalyst for Kat and Ethan to finally get together?

I really liked Richie's reactions at the restaurant. I laughed my ass off when he said, "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The delivery of that line was priceless.

I love this show and sincerely wish CBS would stay with it; unfortunately I think it's the suits at CBS have unofficially designated it as toast.

I was reading the paper and found out that this is the season finale tonight. That was a quick season. Any word on if this will get another season.

Yeah I read in the newspaper that The Class was an expensive failure. I thought the ratings were pretty good for this show.

It's going to suck if they cancel it. I really like this show.

[stantonl]

I wonder what is so expensive about this show. It's a good show to me but it'll be like many other shows I thought was decent and gets canceled .

[marrone]

I don't see what's so expensive about this show. Typical sets. No special effects. Unknown actors, for the most part. I wouldn't think this should be that expensive. Doesn't seem to me that this show would need a LOT of viewers to be profitable.

The only thing I can think of is that it has a much larger regular cast than most sitcoms.

It's got an expensive pedigree, being produced by James Burrows and David Crane of Friends, Will and Grace, Frasier, Cheers, etc.
