The IT Crowd

[The GIGGAS]

First it was a UK show. (hilarious)

Then it was to be a US show. (awesome)

Then NBC thinks about pulling it before it even airs. (wtfomgbbq)

Anyone else heard of it? Here's the UK description from some comment from IMDb that's decent:

"Roy and Moss are two IT staff working for a big company. But despite the size of the company, the two seem banished to the basement of the building. However, they seem to enjoy their locked-away existence, occasionally being tortured by moronic staff asking why their computer won't work, which is usually answered with, "Have you tried turning it off and on again?""

Never heard of the show but NBC's handling of The Black Donnelly's has made me realize they are ******** and have no idea what good TV is anymore.

The description of that show does sound pretty funny though. I would probably watch it.

Exactly. I won't even watch new TV series anymore because they all just get canceled by the end of the first season. If a series sticks around for more than a season and gets high praise, I'll just go buy or rent the DVD's at some point.

Exactly what I do as well.

A show about Information Technology? Interesting...

Re: The IT Crowd

I watched the first 6 episodes last year or so and thought it was a funny show. I think that was the first season, I didn't see any more after that and wondered what happened to it in the back of my mind.

Re: The IT Crowd

I loved watching the BBC version of the show. I thought it was clever. Leave it to NBC producers to not see the humor.

Watch the BBC series. I can plainly tell you that you haven't had a day like what Roy and Moss have had.

Unless you've gone to a gay musical called "Gay!".

Nothing like actually watching things before you make a decision:
