The Loop, which I rather liked but which hasn’t yet set the world on fire, is still coming back for a second season in 2007. However, Fox has cut its episode count from 13 to 10. Apparently, they’ve already got enough returning shows that they don’t need the extra three.
As I mentioned in my review of it, the work side of our hero’s life was far funnier than his home life and Fox has taken note, asking the creators to focus on the work side of things – something that might produce a cast cull. Hopefully, it’ll also produce a funnier show, although it was pretty funny to start with.
In case, UK viewers, you’re worried if you’ll ever see it, be glad to hear that Trouble TV has picked it up. Joy, huh? It’s now officially teenage TV.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
