Class Dimissed.

As anyone without a life but with an intimate knowledge of Ben Silverman's career path might know, this week is Upfront Week in the grand Ol' Us of A's television land (although, perhaps without knowing what it referred to, Bill Clinton admitted to three more affairs. COUNT IT.). While it's fun to laugh at shows that aren't going to make it (then cry for realising how for they did get), what has me most excited is Class Dismissed- the new Mitchell Hurwitz show.

Along with the Arrested Development mastermind, the show is lucky to have Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein on board as executive producers. Although they're probably not household names, they're best known as Showrunners for the Simpsons during (in my opinion) their best seasons (Seven and eight, but you already knew that).

Word is that it's also animated, which means that next time this year I'll be able to act high and mighty when it gets canceled and Family Guy (and its spinoffs thrive). There's also the whole Arnett/Bateman/Wrinkler reuniting thing.

Since my searching for a overview of the show was foiled by the internet, I'm going to guess that Class Dismissed may be:

A) A show about a teacher who after 'Dismissing class' as it were, goes on to his unteacherly things. Hilarity ensues when his/her students discover the deep secret that he/she has been hiding.

B) A look at class relations through the eye of a millionaire who -after losing his job and literally falling from grace- breaks every bone in his body. With no health insurance, he has to be treated in the cheapest, dankest hospital in America. On his long road t recovery he learns a few thing about the people who looked down on- and learns that when it comes to loving your fellow man, there is no 'Lower Class'.

C) Two college students with a complete lack of class and social nuance (as evidenced in the title) who live next door to a Nunnery. Watch each week as their wacky hijincks grow more and more insane.
