The Loop - Season 1

This show had a ton of promise. I caught most of the shows that aired in the spring of '06 and laughed myself silly. I'm a recent grad and could very easily see myself bumbling around at a job that is dominated by people with tons of experience. The variety of characters was great. Sam is the only one that is really bright, while his friends seem to still be stuck back in high school. I don't think that's too far off when you graduate from college. Some people are ready for the real world and others aren't, but you're still friends.Anyway, I started watching the second season. Not only is the intro not as good, they've axed some of the characters that made for funny moments in the original 7 episodes. It's sad when a company only gives a show 7 episodes to get an audience, then dismantles it, hoping to get people the following year. What they forgot is that shows need time to develop. Other great shows didn't do well in their first season(as far as ratings go) like Full House, and then became a hit. The writing in the first season is edgy and freakin' funny. Don't kid yourself into thinking that the new version is too. It's funny, but so very far from the original in it's writing and chemistry. BOOOOOOOO Fox.

I love this show. I was a fan when it was on FOX. Of which, it ran intermittently at best.I hoped and prayed that it would find an audience and a home. Alas it did not. However, one can now view all 17 episodes (7 in season 1 and 10 in season 2).In short the story revolves around a young executive (Sam) at an airline company and his struggle to balance work and play.As a young man in the world he lives with His slacker brother. A brunette who is a seemingly unavailable love interest and a blond who is an attractive bartender. As one would expect hi-jinx ensues. Comedy abounds in this environment. However, in my opinion, it is the situations at work which fuel the most laughs and for me is very reminiscent of the type of outrages comedy one would see in shows such as "Soap", "Police Squad" and much later "30 Rock" and "Community".I cannot recommend this more. Give it a try. You will enjoy it.

There aren't many well-scripted sitcoms on TV today, and The Loop is one of them. Not because it's not well-scripted, but because it's not on TV! Such a travesty. The Loop is one of the best television sitcoms to come around since Friends or Will & Grace. It's smart, edgy, and doesn't dumb down its comedy for viewers that would be better off watching goofy shows like According to Jim or reruns of Full House. I was fortunate enough to catch The Loop on Fox last year when it was on, and immediately purchased this DVD collection to re-watch and laugh along with the cast. I can't wait until Season Two comes out on TV in June, but I'm sad to think that nobody will catch it (or find it, for that matter) and that that will be the end of a truly fantastic sitcom written and acted by people who care about making their audience laugh out loud.

One of my favorite shows from before. Classic sitcom for 2000s young adults.

This short-lived series was really funny; the cast is great! It's a shame it wasn't renewed for more seasons. It's worth watching!

The title caught my eye! I love aviation and was expecting something with a little more content!Got bored after about 4 episodes.

I remembered this show was on Fox and me only being in Middle School, I didn't understand most of the jokes.I personally liked, and still do like it. It's definitely relate-able and also funny. Uses a similar formula that romantic comedies do: the main character can't seem to get the one they love cos there's a constant misunderstanding between the two of em'.Definitely gets kinda' upsetting, but hey *shrug* !Gotta' love The Loop !

I don't know why, it's not the greatest show ever, but it's very funny. Something about the characters in this that makes me laugh every time. Love it!

This shortlived Fox sitcom deserved better. The writing is sharp and the actors pull the snappy dialogue off with bells on. The actor (Philip Baker Hall) playing the head of the fictional TransAlliance Airways steals the show with the bizarre tangents and obtuse WWII slang that sounds almost like rap.Seriously funny as even the bit parts are played superbly from the overqualified secretary Darcy (Joy Osmanski) to the roommate bro' Sully (Eric Christian Olsen) and his schemes to make money.Throw in cougariffic Mimi Rogers as the sexually forward airline exec Meryl and Sam's incredibly cute and goofy roommate Lizzy (Sarah Wright) and the eye candy is pretty good, too.Having not mentioned the main character Sam (Bret Harrison of "Reaper" fame) so far is odd but really he is just the Jerry around which the Elaines, Georges and Kramers can do their stuff around.The interview clips with actors and producers on the DVD extras are pretty decent.Lastly, you will fall in love with the theme song and will never look at a zip line and a falafel cart again in the same way after viewing one of the better episodes.
