And then there was one. Now that CBS has picked up Jericho and Shark for full seasons, and canceled Smith, they are left with just one more new show to make a decision on. The Class hasn't made the decision easy. They had a slow start that led to the shuffling of timeslots in the Monday comedy block. While the show has performed better since it started following How I Met Your Mother, it's not quite good enough to get picked up, yet. CBS has ordered four more scripts for the show which gives it a little more time to impress.I'd like to see the show get a full season. After a pilot that I didn't think was very good at all, the show has really turned a corner. The Duncan/Nicole part of the story is a little dull at times, but the rest of the pairings are working out well. Lizzy Caplan (Kat) is fantastic, while Sean Maguire (Kyle) and Cristian de la Fuente (Aaron) have had some of the funniest scenes in the show. I've even been pulled in to the strange Richie's wife plot. My guess is that the show will eventually make it to a full season.

Glad to see that 'The Class' is at least getting picked up for a few more episodes. It's one of the few new shows this year that we've kept watching, and as an added bonus, it's only 30 minutes and funny!

Yes you're right...the added bonus is that it's only 30 minutes. I don't think I could tolerate an hour of this show. I really enjoy How I Met Your Mother so I've stayed around for this show...2 times too many I must add. I've found both episodes dull, sporadic, and mildly humorous at best.
