Goodbye Happy Hour
Brett told you the other day that it looked like FOX was pulling the new game show The Rich List after only one episode, and Jonathan told you about The O.C. being moved back to Wednesday nights. But what got kinda lost in the mix of all these FOX schedule moves is that the network has also canceled the freshman comedy Happy Hour. (They've even removed it from the web site drop down menu - that was quick.)
I can't say that this is much of a surprise. I'm actually surprised that it lasted this long on the schedule. I have absolutely no idea if it was a bad show or not, but it got terrible reviews from critics, and many readers here picked it as the first show to be canceled in our contest.
Was the show as bad as everyone says? It seemed to have a funny premise (straight-laced guy influenced by his wacky bachelor best friend who turns his life upside down), but critics hated it, and I don't think the ratings were that great either. Readers, did it deserve a chance, or is it just another one of those terrible short-lived FOX sitcoms to add to the list of terrible short-lived FOX sitcoms?
I'm not gonna watch The Loop anymore (and you can't make me)
OK, I've had it. I can't watch FOX's The
Loop anymore. I think there was one episode that wasn't that bad, but it's been all downhill from there. If this
was a better half hour sitcom, or a more important show in general, I think I'd keep watching it and reviewing it. But
the show is pretty damn bad, and I'm going to predict it doesn't see a second season anyway. Nothing against Philip
Baker Hall and Mimi Rogers. I'd like to see them in something better.So I'm not going to review tonight's episode. If one of my coworkers wants to jump in and take over the reviews, that's cool. But I'd rather spend my time doing something more productive. Like my laundry.
