Fox Television Series - The Loop
The Loop
As we reach our early 20s and face the daunting challenges of real life, there are those who choose to embark on a career path and those who’d rather goof off with pals. And then, every so often, there’s someone who sets out to do both. Set in Chicago, THE LOOP is the story of SAM (Bret Harrison, “Grounded for Life”), the youngest executive at the corporate headquarters of a major airline, and the first of his friends to get a real job. He must find a way to straddle his serious career and the serious social demands of his roommates. One roommate, SULLY (Eric Christian Olsen, “Dumb and Dumberer,” “Tru Calling”), is Sam’s older and rowdier brother, whose casual attempts to hold down a series of odd jobs are eclipsed by his attempts to land women. The other roommate, PIPER, is a medical student, Sam’s college pal and – unbeknownst to her – his longtime crush. As Sam strives to meet the relentless demands of his boss, RUSS (Philip Baker Hall, “Seinfeld,” “Bruce Almighty”), dodge the nonstop advances of his colleague, MERYL (Mimi Rogers, “Austin Powers,” “Hope and Faith”), and turn his best-friendship with Piper into romance, he is, by turns, ambitious, exhausted and inspired. Moreover, he is a hero for everyone who has ever tried to work hard and play hard at the same time.
