The Class 10/16/06
Loved the Jackass subplot, but the rest wasn't all that good. If there was something else on, I'd watch that instead of this show. I'll be glad when Prison Break returns.

I actually enjoy the Ethan/Kat (Jason Ritter/Lizzy Caplan) interaction. I was surprised she was the goth chick in Mean Girls and like how she pushes Ethan beyond his comfort zone. These two characters anchor the show more than anyone else.
There's a soap-opera-ish aspect to the show which I really don't care about. How they are going to redeem Nicole (Andrea Anders), a married woman having a one night stand other than he is her one true love?
Also, Richie is being set up to have an affair with Lina. His "excuse" is that his wife Fern (Sara Gilbert) is a shrew, but even that is a weak set-up. The best aspect of this plotline is his interaction with Duncan.
Thirdly, the Aaron (teacher's boyfriend)/Perry (reporter's husband) just has a weird vibe to it. The only way they could bring some depth to Perry's character is to actually confirm he is an effeminate heterosexual (like Carvey's character in SNL).
