A situation comedy about super geeks that I have been watching and find embarrassingly funny. For some one that doesn't really watch TV and when I do it is usually reruns of old westerns and cops and robbers shows this caught me by surprise and I was wondering if anybody has seen this. :lol:

Hi SBLS: is that the British sitcom, or have they done an American version now?

Cheers - C

After Peep Show, and The Inbetweeners, The IT Crowd is my favourite program on 4od.

My Nephew has been getting the DVDs from NetFlix so I have been treated to episodes of the 1st four seasons and have now read that it may be commisioned for a 5th season! American TV has been ripping ideas from the UK forever so a watered down version is probably in network TVs future and eventually the original run will be on public television as well. :lol:
from the show: " I have to break up with you Michael because you look like a Magician". :lol:

I watched this show while I was working Saudi Arabia. Insanely funny. A show called Reggie Perrin is funny as well.

It's the British sitcom Ceri and I am hoping to see the 5th season. When I think about it, you will be watching before I will. :lol:

They actually already TRIED to do an American version. I'm not sure if it's still there, but the USA pilot episode was fully available on Youtube. It was quite literally, done EXACTLY the same - except with a different cast. The only person who was the same was the guy who plays Moss. The USA version was not greenlighted because it was TERRIBLE. The USA cast was just awful and the jokes were sometimes cut shorter and they were no longer funny. It just didn't work. I'm so glad they didn't go ahead with the USA version because it would have just ruined the show's name. I cannot understand why these shows have to be "re-made" for American audiences. Why not just show the original? Is it because Americans can't understand the accent?

Now, the actual IT Crowd is awesome! I LOVE this show! The British are just so good at situational comedy. Also, I'm totally in love with Katherine Parkinson (who plays Jen).

Episode 1 of Series 2 about the "musical" is one of the funniest episodes of any show I've ever seen.

Powdered Toast Man, I actually still have some episodes to watch from each season which is very cool because I will have to wait a bit less for season 5. I would hope Fox will air the original as soon as possible. An American television network destroying a perfectly good idea? Heavens no, I would have thought that they could do it much better
. there should be a very large and melodious and malodorous soundetta exiting from everyone's backside right now. That being sounded, Jen is a hottie, but, (no pun intended :D ) so seem all of the ladies on the seventh floor as well. Was so hoping for the calender. :lol:

caution - adult comedy about to happen so children and grand parents leave the room:

policeman: while you were in there someone stole your wheelchair?
Roy: I'm disabled.

policeman: do you remember anything about him? did you see him?
Roy: I'm disabled.
driver: have us a song it's a long way to Manchester!
:lol:
