Title: "The IT Crowd"

Watch it fellow nerds and geeks, and everyone else. It is a British comedy.

Ohh, I have caught a couple episodes of this. It always pops up in some really odd time slots. Fantastic when I catch it. I rather fancy Kathrine Parkinson who plays Jen.
I hope they never make an American version of this.

I watched them back when they first aired. Some of the funniest TV ever, and I'm glad they took it past a single season (especially since British "seasons" are so shor)t. I watched some of the director's earlier stuff (Father Ted), but didn't find it as funny. I also heard an interview on the radio with one of the guys from the US version, but it looks like they cancelled it. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

"I punched one of the child actors on set because they were rude about Garth’s writing. It’s more of a back of the hand than a punch, but they came up in a big red bruise, someone took a photo of it, blah, blah, blah, cry, cry, cry, I don’t see it as a problem." - Dean Learner

From what I read on wiki there was supposed to be an American version but it got delayed several times until it disappeared, for it's own good I say. Although I would love to buy the DVDs for the 1st and 2nd season, I believe it will be nigh impossible to find them here in North-America, or at least playable for this region.

Just checked what Darkplace is just to see what actor you were talking about. He appears in the 2nd season, and I don't like his character because I think he isn't as humorous as the one he substituted.

I suddenly feel the urge to watch Fawlty Towers.

I see. So when Caliban expresses interest in a show everyone laps it up like thirsty dogs; however, when poor old Stogi introduces a show no one gives two shits.
Ugh....I hate you all.
