Looped is a Canadian animated television series created by Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton [1] (who also created Grojband ) for Teletoon. It premiered in Canada on March 2, 2016. It also premiered on January 4, 2016 in Latin America on Cartoon Network and in the United Kingdom on CITV. [2]
The series revolves around the life and adventures of Luc and Theo, two boys from the town of Port Doover who attend Port Doover Middle School. Due to an accident in Theo's garage with an invention he created, the two boys are stuck in a time loop where every day is the same Monday, October 12. Since the events of that day are always the same, the two know exactly what will happen where and when. They use this knowledge as an opportunity to do whatever they want at school and around their town, usually causing problems when their actions cause errors and other unusual events to occur in the time loop.
