The Loop, which I rather liked but which hasn't yet set the world on fire, is still coming back for a second season in 2007. However, Fox has cut its episode count from 13 to 10. Apparently, they've already got enough returning shows that they don't need the extra three.
As I mentioned in my review of it, the work side of our hero's life was far funnier than his home life and Fox has taken note, asking the creators to focus on the work side of things - something that might produce a cast cull. Hopefully, it'll also produce a funnier show, although it was pretty funny to start with.
In case, UK viewers, you're worried if you'll ever see it, be glad to hear that Trouble TV has picked it up. Joy, huh? It's now officially teenage TV.

So long as they drop the lead's brother - Sully? - then it should be left as is.
But yeah, the work environment was the best. And you can't beat Mimi Rogers and Philip Baker Hall for the laughs they provided.
Great theme song too!

I think Sully's likely to be off, simply because the actor keeps cropping up in other dramas so probably wouldn't have the time to do The Loop as well.
Philip Baker Hall is a god.
