The Loop
Wow, considering last night’s main plot point, I’m gonna have a little trouble keeping this thing PG-rated. What’s that you say? You missed the episode? Well, suffice it to say it involved Sam suffering a groin injury and a treatment method that prompted Lizzy to ask, “You want riverboat-style or regular?” That’s the line, folks. I ain’t crossing it. Besides this little bit of naughtiness at the hands — ha! — of the smokin’-hot Sarah Mason, last night’s ep was so-so, mostly because the show seems to be repeating itself. Sure, all TV shows have a formula to which they adhere pretty consistently, but the whole “Sam screws up big, then saves the day completely unintentionally” thing has officially become old. This is goofball comedy, people! Must it be this predictable? Shake it up a little, utilize the full talents of Eric Christian Olsen and Bret Harrison and we’ll be in business. Not that last night didn’t have its good moments — Sully, Lizzy and Piper arguing over who got to “treat” Sam was chuckle-inducing, as was Darcy’s acrid morning greeting — the girl never disappoints. Alas, there was also the obligatory Brokeback Mountain joke at Russ’ ranch — hey, everybody else is doing it — though I’m still trying to figure out how you can drive 10 minutes outside of Chicago and find yourself on a horse ranch. Windy citizens, make yourselves heard: fact or fiction?
