Seldom has a series expended more energy with less entertaining results.
-
There are some very funny lines and moments... Unfortunately, the good stuff isn't worth slogging through the rest of this sitcom.
-
A painfully contrived premise can't be glossed over by pretty faces and pithy dialogue.
-
"The Loop" is much more failure than success.
-
The show basically approximates that commercial where a young guy is working an office job and his dorky friends keep bugging him, as a generic twentysomething dude seeks to prove he can straddle adult obligations and youthful pastimes by partying all night and working all day. Sorry, but been there, drank that.
-
It's satirical all right, paced roughly like "Arrested Development," but not very funny or believable.
-
[Episode 2's] Jenna, we learn, has basically been drunk since January, which is probably a pretty good condition for anyone who wants to get real laughs out of The Loop.
-
The jokes are dismally unpleasant and vaguely depressing.
-
The show is particularly misbegotten and -- fatal for a comedy -- not funny at all.
-
As for "The Loop," well, it's just heinous. True, we've said that before. But it can't be said enough. "The Loop": heinous.

BaduncadonkHJun 24, 2007The first season was wobbly, but the second is absolute brilliance. Writing is fantastic; this show deserves to become a hit!
