The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Producers were idiots for turning it completely into a show about work life in Season 2, making the whole reason for the show pointless. They got rid of his friends and just made it about his retarded job and there was no loop, there was no partying, there was no crush. Producers screwed up but what else do you expect on Fox, the channel run by the biggest retards in the world. If they had at least kept the two girls on the show still then it would have made sense. The second season of the comedy was just so lame and embarrassing with the story lines just being about him screwing up but then getting bailed out at work. There is nothing that can make you like this second season. I feel like punching the person that was in charge of this in the face aka the producers, whoever those idiots may be.

This has got to be one of the most unfunny and pathetic US sitcoms I've ever seen. I think the main problem here is the uninteresting plot and the terrible and amateurish acting. The show seems to depend on sheer (forced) goofiness for laughs rather than funny, yet intelligent, situations and witty dialogues. I was initially interested, but after seeing one or two episodes, I hated it. Or could this be due to a cultural factor? That because I am not American I am unable to appreciate the humor? I don't think so, since over the years I have enjoyed and appreciated plenty of American (and also British) sitcoms. In fact, US sitcoms have always been my favourite. Now, a bit about the acting. I feel a lot of it was quite over the top, most noticeably coming from Eric Olsen, Sarah Wright (her cuteness doesn't help much here) and Philip Hall. This sitcom played for a while in Australia (I think a few weeks on the Seven network) ), but didn't last very long -- Thank goodness for that. I suspect it may soon get axed in the US.

I am not an avid TV watcher. I prefer to cherry pick the shows i watch (TiVo).I find The Loop to be an enjoyable comedy. I truly enjoy each character. The job-less brother (Sully), the hot roommates (Lizzy, Piper), the perverse but funny boss (Russ), the receptionist (Darcy), and that old lady that hits on the main character all the time.I've seen 6 episodes so far, and enjoyed them all.The one qualm I have is in regard to the seemingly thoughtless plots. Yes, i could and would enjoy a series that always concluded with a young business exec saving the day. But does it always have to be so obvious? And does it always have to be by accident? It almost feels like we are led to believe two controversial characteristics about the same person.The first is that he is a quick witted, intelligent person, who excelled in school, and is now making it big in the business world.The contradicting characteristic that is so boldly presented in every episode: You almost feel like he is a retard. He is unable to find solutions by himself, he always has to stumble into the scene and end up looking like he did things on purpose. Which is fine and I loved it, the first two times. Then it can gets annoying, if you let it.Please mix things up a little, I guess thats the theme of what I have to say.

The Loop is such a terrible show! Something must have gone very wrong for a show this horrible to be put on the air.Whoever is the network executive at Fox who was pitched this project and actually said "yeah that's a good idea" should be fired. It is such a bad show! The acting is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!! The jokes are so bad and everything about it is immature. Every joke you can see coming a mile away and whoever writes this crap should be out of work.I can't believe the kind of garbage that gets on TV today, it make me want to puke.
