    Looks like the "Reminiscent of Arrested D" trilogy is complete. I'd put this one somewhere between Free Ride and Sons and Daughters. By far the most likeable star of the three. The whole "Real World" gang back at the house can GO. Mimi Rogers seems awkward doing the MILF thing. But Phillip Baker Hall (what's HE doing here?) is gold.

    Though The loop was a lot better than i thought it would be it still isn't anything out of the ordinary. The characters are interesting enough to keep you awake during the show but often their antics can be repetive and stupid. The show manages to steal some laughs on and off. It has potential but it has not been tapped yet.

So the show is watchable but doesn't do anything new.… Expand

    Philip Baker Hall is great. Mimi Rogers is pretty good. That's it. If anybody else says Arrested Development isn't funny, I will personally come to their house and punch them in the face.

    When you watch this show, you can almost hear some big, dumb executive animal saying, "We want a single-camera comedy that's weird and dark and fun, you know, like 'Arrested Development,' except with a young, sexy cast!"

    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.
