Finally, a clever new sitcom. [17 Mar 2006, p.108]
75
It's a fresh, darkly comic workplace/social life farce peppered with good laughs.

A lively comedy.

Yes, "The Loop's" a winner, although let us be the first to admit that the usual attributes associated with "winning" are probably stretched beyond all recognition in this context.

It's funnier than a similar new Fox sitcom, "Free Ride," about a college graduate who moves back in with his parents. Partly that is because "The Loop" has a faster pace and bolder writing.

Presumably, the actors will settle into their roles and get a better grip on timing and volume. They're over-the-top for material that's already zany.

If the writing can rise to [Harrison's and Hall's] performances, The Loop could take flight.

You probably can tell that this thing isn't bound for the sitcom hall of fame, but it's a good time.

It may not have the subtlety or sophisticated wit of "Arrested Development," but it's not supposed to. It's more a combination of "The Office" and "Four Kings" -- with really good music and a distinctive, energetic visual style.

The Loop's constant jokes about hot bodies and alcoholic excess would doubtless wear thin very quickly if not for a lunatic cast of young unknowns and gifted veteran character actors.
