DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's press release) THE CLASS is a comedy about the lives of a group of 20-somethings inextricably bound together by sharing the same third grade class. Ethan Haas is head-over-heels in love with his fiancé, for whom he has planned the ultimate surprise party -- a reunion with their third grade classmates to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day they met. The classmates include Lina Warbler, who wears her heart on her sleeve and remains optimistic about love although she was recently dumped; her cynical twin sister, Kat Warbler, whose sarcastic tongue hides her kind heart; Duncan Carmello, the well-liked boy in school who is in a band and still lives with his mother Tina with whom he constantly bickers; Kyle Lendo, who every girl had a crush on and is now happily in love with his live-in boyfriend; Richie Velch, a happy kid whose life has gone downhill since third grade until the reunion invitation sparked his curiosity; Holly Ellenbogen, whose heart was broken when Kyle cheated on her at the high school prom and can't wait to show him what a successful news anchor she's become and how happily married she is now to Perry; and pretty, popular Nicole Allen, who was once in love with Duncan and is now the unfulfilled trophy wife of a legendary football star/BBQ-grill spokesman. Two decades later, a group of grade-schoolers' lives intersect once again, giving them the uncommon opportunity to learn how everyone turned out and to rebuild old friendships.
