THE IT CROWD

**Geodess** · 11-26-2009, 07:11 AM

Anyone else into this show... We cycle through sitcoms during lunch hour at work and this is the latest winner...

dry, beautiful and absurd enough to make me giggle the same way sunshine in philly did...

**Defenestratoris** · 11-26-2009, 07:20 AM

Indeed, I am fond of it as well. Admittedly, I am poorly familiar with the majority of sitcoms; they tend to be quite unfunny, not least because of the canned (or 'live') laughter.

**Geodess** · 11-26-2009, 09:18 AM

yeah, i like it because it is teh right mix of goofy and what else you have..

i should probably specify we watch only quality sitcoms at lunch - bottom, british office, father ted, sunny in philly and now this... we will need a replacement for this one soon... :P

**Malkavia** · 11-26-2009, 09:54 AM

Ive never heard of it. What does it come on and what is it about?

Season 2 was brilliant. I haven't seen any of the new ones, though.

Oooh, we have to type the guys.

Moss... INTP (?)... Roy... ENTP (?)...

**zibber** · 11-27-2009, 04:21 AM

I love these new absurd sitcoms.

Haven't checked out It Crowd, but The League and Parks & Recreation are real winners.

**Night Runner** · 11-27-2009, 09:31 PM

I love the IT Crowd... I streamed the first 3 seasons from Netflix - sheer hilarity.

It's only a matter of time before it's ~~stolen~~ reproduced by Americans.

I love this show. I particularly like Moss and Reynholm.

Is this show still in production?

A pilot was made by NBC, staring the original Moss, and new actors as Jen and Roy but it was binned before it ever aired.

The only thing that sort of annoys me with the show is that I really enjoyed the original boss and was sad to see his quick exit.

**Charly** · 11-29-2009, 03:53 AM

Moss is very funny, and he makes me laugh. He is much funnier than roy.

**yoginimama** · 11-29-2009, 06:28 AM

I LOVE this show.

Yes, the original boss was great, but, imho, his "quick exit" was so perfect as to make it worth it. And besides, the next boss does have the immortal line "You there! Computer man! Fix my pants!"

**SpaceCadet** · 12-05-2009, 11:43 AM

I haven't watched the entire series yet, but I'm looking forward to biting into this one for sure. A couple of the guys on this show are from my favourite series, the Mighty Boosh, of which I am a devotee.

**thod** · 12-05-2009, 01:29 PM

I saw the show for the first time yesterday. The plot was the hapless manager had to give a speech on IT. The techs decided to have some fun, they told her that they had persuaded the elders of the internet to hand it over, a small black box, which she was able to use in her presentation.

It reminded me of the Dilbert comic strip.

One of my Favourite Shows of all time just love Moss ( what type is he ? ) written by Graham Linehan who also wrote Father Ted and Black Books.

How many times did I hear the IT Desk at my last Job ask "is it plugged in" always tried to sort it out myself before ringing as a last resort.
