The Class: Pilot (series premiere)

Jonathan, vampires don't have reflections in mirrors. Nothing to do with casting shadows. In fact, if a vampire was in a situation where there would be a shadow, there would be direct sunlight, and he'd be dust.

But it does look like crummy Photoshopping, except for the fact that the original picture is of the 3rd graders. They show in the opening credits the 3rd graders getting replaced by their adult counterparts, so it's already set up as a fake picture, and no one is claiming otherwise.

The show was a lot more entertaining than I expected, especially considering I've never found "How I Met Your Mother" entertaining or involving, and I've tried about 6 episodes of that. I'll give "The Class" a few more episodes to see if it's worth my time.

This was the worst show I've seen in a long time. The execs who ok'd it should be fired. Underwhelming doesn't cover it. The pilot should never have been aired. No likeable characters, no funny lines, no interest. I will not revisit this show.

The only two people I really liked in the whole pilot were Kat the photographer sister and Perry the 'gay' husband of Holly the news anchor. Everyone else was pretty annoying... especially the Lina the other sister... her nasal voice was terrible!!

I will give it another week, but I'm not sure I will like this unless the other actors in the show step it up.

Definately not even close to HIMYM.

A few laffers, but I was generally disappointed. There are too many characters for a 30-minute show, but hopefully that will get streamlined as Joel says above.

I'm giving it one more week.

Prediction: halfway through the first season, it will be revealed that all of the main characters are vampires. (Look again at the promotional picture -- THEY DON'T CAST SHAODWS)

They need to lay off the laugh track some. I almost felt like it was a parody of a sitcom at the beginning of the show.

I enjoyed the pilot.

Yeah, you were definitely right about freakin' obnoxious Lina's speech impediment was. Hopefully that improves or I learn to deal, but it was a major show ruiner. Do love Lizzy Caplan, though.

Yeah. I really wanted to like it, because it was going to be the show I watch as I wait for HIMYM. But the pilot was definitely underwhelming. I'll keep your suggestion in mind and stay tuned for the next two episodes though...
