The Loop

Is there even such a thing as a wireless flash drive?

I wish Marcy had more screen time. Pity, her character seems very funny and dry.

That's what I said. I'd never heard of such a thing.

Some great lines tonight.

"...we'll be down at the docks jerkin sailors for Dinty Moore"

"20 Years ago I had your job and my head was hitting the glass ceiling...I was under Lee Major's coffee table"

I did a quick search and found out that they have finalized or will soon finalize a spec for wireless USB as a competitor/replacement for Bluetooth. One application we may see within the first year is in fact a wireless flash drive. I guess it's possible somebody on the writing staff saw that and saw the (very broad and not that funny) comedy possible.

I want you to Cut My Face...

Mimi rogers makes the show.

yup. she is funny.

"You know what I did? The doorman!"

The blonde roommate is a stripper in training - every time she dances she loves to stick her ass up in the air.

After a brief reprieve last week - the brother annoyed me again.

Mimi and PBH are always on top of their material. Very good stuff.

This episode killed me, it's one of the few comedies that truly makes me LOL, not just chuckle at the funny bits.

BTW, Chen Ming's Mandarin was hard to understand.

I just saw this episode at lunch today and damn it Fox, you had better renew this show for next fall.

If the off-the-wall humor writing stays the same, this show will be fresh and funny for many years to come.

They are losing at least 2 long running comedy shows this year (That 70's Show & Malcolm in the Middle) and I think this is different enough from other comedies that it could become very popular.

Yeah, I'm really hoping this show gets renewed, but I have a feeling it won't. Either that or it will get the Andy Richter Controls the Universe treatment (afterall, The Loop is from writers of that show) and get brought back for a short second season and get cancelled. Does anyone know the ratings for this show? Haven't heard a thing about it. Mimi Rogers is absolutely hysterical though.
