Watching TV

AT working I gt to listen to podcast, watch vidcast and even catch a few TV shows I missed while editing at night. Last night I decided to download the entire season of "the Loop" a sitcom that came on mid season for FOX. While the show lasted only for eight episodes I knew about it when it started. It was hyped as the next greatest hit for FOX and most likely would have been if FOX didn't do the usual and put it on a killer night.

As I watched the pilot and subsequent episodes I learned one thing. This show was one of the most brilliantly written shows I have watched in awhile. The cast makes it even better. A true gem in the rough. What amazes me is that the show was in its first season. The performances, writing and the editing made it look like it was a strong show in its midyears.

I searched the reviews and saw that most felt that the humor was limited to those under 22, but I disagree. Some of the older characters really came out making that generation gap that most shows don't even try to cross.

I have heard rumors that the show may be brought back and possible on Comedy Central, where it will be appreciated. The problem as always is the megalith of FOX allowing the right to be shown or made again. We've seen many good shows ruined by the evil menace to great entertainment.
