Comedy

The Loop is an American television sitcom about a young professional trying to balance the needs of his social life with the pressures of working at the corporate headquarters of TransAlliance Airways, a major U.S. airline. Chicago's downtown loop area was the setting for most of the show. The show is shot with a single-camera setup instead of a multiple-camera setup more typical for situation comedies. A complete script is written for each episode but actors are also given opportunities to improvise their lines during the shooting process.
