Uk fan gutted it's not coming back


really really loving this show,
so are all my mates, just looked on here and can't believe it's not coming back for a 2nd series!!!!

why oh why did e4 bother showing it over here if it's not going anywhere. now me and my mates are all hooked!!!

I know it took awhile to get going but hey friends was not smash from the the 1st few episodes. it just takes awhile for people to get into the cast and stuff.


reply

that's exactly how I feel maaaan!
im SO angry.
i signed like 10 online petitions to bring it back since I heard it was cancelled...

yeah im from the uk too and think this series is great. I thought it would be definitely be comin back!! :( why as it cancelled anyway?

reply

'Cos the channel it was on in the US thought it would get more viewers than it did. But it still did quite well.

reply

Im sad, I only just discovered this programme through the E4 commercials, found it online and have been watching thr first series only to find out theres no more! I thought Id finally found something to fill the gap ive had since I lost friends and sex and the city.

reply

It is pretty pathetic all this cancelling of shows straight away.
Happened with Studio 60 as well.
I think TV execs/studios expect FAR too much from viewing figures these days after the massive success of things like friends.
I mean come on, not many shows do as good as they ultimately will after like half a season, it takes time to build characters, create storylines and love interests, will they wont theys.
The whole Ross and Rachel saga wasnt created in a season.

I look forward to Sunday mornings knowing i'll be able to have a lie in a watch two episodes of the class from the night before on my skly plus box.

Its sad to cancel this show.
And if i thought it would make a difference i would sign petitions, but the simple point is, it wont :-(

I can't believe that there is no second series I don't think I have laughed so much in a TV show before ...they should bring it back!

reply

Same here, another UK fan gutted by the cancellation of what seemed to be a cracking series (like Huff, Studio 60 etc.) I think these tv execs are still living in the 70s and 80s when they assess their viewing figures. People have so many more channels and ways of being entertained now that prime-time shows on the major networks are not going to get the figures they once were. Take UK for example, 10-15 years ago, the top rated shows got 20m plus viewers; now they reach 9 or 10m MAX. That's because we used to have 5 channels to watch whereas now we have in excess of 400 (and everybody's watching the repeats/reruns of 70s and 80s shows; ironic eh?)

reply

i agree, i saw this in its original US run and ive spent sooooo long bein pissed at the fact it aint coming back. especially when they left it on SUCH a cliffhanger!!

has e4 shown the last ep yet? i dont have it!

reply

Yes I am from South Africa - my wife and I loved the show! Bring it back!!!!!!!!! Why the heck did our networks over here buy it if they knew it was for one season only? hated how it ended!

http://fromthetipofafrica.blogspot.com/

reply

Because these cancelled shows are cheap! and the networks don't care about the people that get hooked and violently cut off!

E4 is the king of buying 1 series cancelled shows and making them seem like they have bundles to show you!

I truly believe this is one reason that lead to the writers' strike...
They kept canceling shows and throwing people to the streets. Writers often say that sometimes it takes really long for them to get into another series (even years)...

I really hope they learn from these mistakes and not be so rush when cancelling shows...

If the writers win, they'll get money from the re-runs...

Janet: well lambrini, candles and your c*ck is still in me!

reply

What the Feck !?
I have just started watching it on E4's 2nd run and only came on here to see if Jason Ritter was John Ritters son !
1 season ? with all the crap that they produce out there they cut this after 1 season ? 'Joey' got 2 and that was woeful ! My other 1/2 is sooooooo into it & I've just had to go and tell her to make the most of it ....I don't believe it , I have been telling people this has the potential to be the next Friends !!!

I'm going to LA in June I'm going to hunt the producers down and make them do another 9 seasons ...

Just started watching the show today and managed to squeeze in 5 episodes in a row (luckily my brother had them recorded due to his crappy freeview recorder thinking it was recording scrubs). Before being woefully disapointed I thought I'd check online to see if it was cancelled and wouldn't you know it they've done it again. Great show and I agree with everyone that The Class had great potential. sadly I'm going to add it to my list of shows that I only found out about after it was all over and cancelled.

RIP - Firefly
RIP - Joan of Arcadia
RIP - Now and Again (not great but was interesting)
RIP - Studio 60
RIP - The Class

(These are just the ones I remember off the top of my head)

just loved this show - was glad that E4 showed it, coz had heard about Sean Maguire being in it, so really wanted to see.
is such a shame there isnt a second series, was a great show, the americans suck in not letting a show carry on, the 2nd series could of being even better - they left us wondering what was going to happen next.
just glad they are repeating the series, hope it comes out on dvd!




RIP Heath Ledger -will be missed very much in the world.xx

reply

Can't we bombard CBS ? Me and my Girlfriend are gutted because we were stood outside the studio where they made it last July (It's a stones throw from The farmers Market in LA) now she wants to go back so she can bang on the door and demand answers !!!!..lol

reply

As soon as I saw the adverts on E4 and sheard the guy say "from the creators of friends" I was like WATCHING! I got hooked from the first episode and I'm so gutted it's cancelled. I saw online it was cancelled right at the beginning of the series so I told myself not to get too into it but I couldn't help it!

totally agree! I love it, and i so wanted to see kat n ethan get together :( *sobs inside*

reply

I just started watching recently and when I found out there's no second series I couldn;t believe it, it seemed like a show that would do well in America and so I can't figure out why they would cancel it!

Such a shame! Yet another good show cancelled!

reply

just started watching this...best thing since Studio 60 aswell and it's cancelled :'( crap...we need some good American comedies again...and Lizzy Caplan was brilliant in this!

reply

Yet another . My daughter loved this and MADE me watch and now I'm hooked!! It's starting again next week - but we need to know WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!

reply

Just another fine example of american money hungry execs who really have no concept of a series growing. They want instant gratification in the way of dollars and ratings, I want a slow burning series with lots of "will they, won't they" moments and time invested in bringing the characters' isms and quirks over a period of time. Just because not every series matches up to Scrubs in terms of character development (and I ain't knocking Scrubs here - thats a genius show!) it seems that they tend to get the bums rush. So RIP Studio 60, What about Brian and The Class. And another thing: If the good people of channel 4 know that these shows are defunct, they why are they showing them to us Brits knowing we will be mightily hacked off that there will be no ending as such? Ooooh I love a show that I can really get into, only to find that after half a season gets pulled. It really makes my day. (That's me being sarcastic for you non Brits.)

reply

It is actually E4 that we should be mad with to be honest elpopkid, to make it worse they have run it back to back to back ...They showed the last episode on Friday night , then on Monday they showed Episode 1 again, Now we know that they do it with Friends but they have nearly 250 episodes to go at ..Not 16 !
I think they know these shows are dufuct when they buy them, but they get them cheap and as long as it fill there shedule they don't care .They show the the same episodes of scrubs twice a month at least , and they re-run 'The war at home' time after time after time !

reply

Thats so disappointing, it was such a good show, do all shows have to be instant hits before they continue making them, this show was seemingly doing well and yet they still cancel it the world has become far too greedy and impatient.

The same thing happened me last year with what about brian and studio 60

reply

Watching The Class is all I want to do these days. I caught a couple of the episodes when they were on last year, but it is only now that it's being repeated weekdays on E4 that it's become like food to me. I don't usually bother with comedies because they just aren't funny, but The Class... is a whole other ballgame. Hats off to all involved in producing such a high quality show, and shame on you to those responsible for pulling it way before its time.

reply

I cannot believe it, I've only JUST found out there's only the one series. MAN I HATE E4! Why would they start playing it, just to get us all addicted so we can then miss it!
I wanna know what happens with Kat and Ethan... and Duncan and Nicole... And I just love Richie, he's brilliant.
I really thought this show was going to be rubbish, as most things compared to 'Friends' turn out to be, and couldn't believe how good it really was, damn E4 to hell.

Just watched the last episode for the first time *i've always missed it before*... and OMG!!!! how can they leave it like that.... I'm so annoyed there's not going to be another series!!!!

reply

It's so annoying that this has been cancelled.
I watched it for the first time on E4, and it's on the fourth or fifth run of repeats. Why do they keep running it if it's over?

It's a great show, the funniest in a long time and it's so damn annoying how great stuff like this and Studio 60 can be cancelled after 1 season but dross like Big Brother and The Simpsons continues to air.

People have no taste?

You are a sad, strange little man.

reply

well, you can be so proud that shows like the new adventures of old christine and the big bang theory are still going to be on while good shows like the class are cancelled and not coming back. they should realize the stinkers and get rid of them. the big bang theory was terrible, the class far outshined it in characters and storyline. it's hard having a dvr and recording all these new shows for them all to get cancelled after 1/2 a season or a full pilot season. it's getting old! the class would do well on any network, they should really give it a 2nd try with the repeats generating so much buzz and attention.

reply

Me too, i'm pissed it's not back.

It was almost as good as friends, i think it did have the potential and that's my own opinion.

reply

i figured that the class would be back and as i hadn't seen all the series and always seemed to catch the same episodes over and over again on E4, i watched them all online a few days ago, then came on here to see if i had seen one of the actresses in something else and found out it had been cancelled. It's ridiculous how many shows get cancelled after like one season. I thought the class would be rubish because it's made by the same people as friends, i thought that it'd just be like friends with different characters. But it was really good, very much it's own show. BRING BACK THE CLASS!!!!!

reply






I've just got into the show and i can't believe it's not coming back



Welsh and proud.

Why the hell did they cancel it?! It was really funny, I want more not just 15 or however many it was episodes! They never gave it a chance to become really big. It's my favourite comedy after Friends!
