Anyone Watching "The Loop" on FOX? They use a CO Plane
 

Anyone watching The Loop on FOX? (New Comedy about this young man who works at an airline). They are unvieling a new route to China (Ironic) and the CEO is standing up infront of a plane, and it's clearly CO Metal, shot not to see the name, but you can tell ...

;)

Tried watching the show twice, but turned it off after a minute.

That CEO is a great parody of Bethune/Crandall/Kelleher. Dead on with the one liners and old white guys.

I found the show entertaining...It was reasonably accurate as far as the industry goes as well (more so than many shows). I was impressed that they talked about Branson, and even knew that VS only has UC and PremiumY. And I did, of course, notice the CO 737 (800?) sitting in what looked like LAX to me (seemed to be a lot of LAX footage).

I watched for about 2 minutes last night.
Yes, they talked about Virgin Atlantic and they might be up on some airline facts, but I thought it odd when the guy is ordered to "take tonight's Virgin flight to Hong Kong", yet they're in Chicago or somewhere in the US where it is obvious that they would have to first fly to London, probably overnight, to get the Hong Kong flight, and therefore it would be impossible to get "tonight's Virgin Atlantic flight to Hong Kong".
The show's creators must know people will be watching for errors like this, or maybe it's just a junk show in an airline setting.
It'll probably get canceled after a few episodes anyways.

Like I said, it was relatively factual. Unfortunately no one takes the time to get everything right, but it did seem that they at least made an attempt (more than can be said for most shows/movies involving aviation). Was it a great show...no. Will it be around for years...prob not. But, I found it entertaining for the half hour it was on.

It's quite a funny show. . .
 

The Loop is quite funny. It's very well written and has some excellent one-liners. I am surprised that it's on broadcast TV! From a ratings perspective, it doesn't appear to be doing too well. Of course, neither did Cheers in its first year.

Lets hope it stays on for awhile.. so atleast we can see TA merge with KLM... :D

Season Finale
 

TiVo tells me that the season Finale is on tonight :( I have missed a few episodes--I just started watching a few weeks ago--so I will enjoy it this summer.
