The IT Crowd: Season One DVD
There are a couple of reasons why I like British TV shows. For one, their seasons tend to be short (around 6 episodes). This gives the writers enough time to write a really good story arc, but not enough time to do fillers. Another reason is that the shows can be about “real people” — office workers in The Office, and geeks in The IT Crowd.
About The IT Crowd
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
In the gleaming high-rise offices of Reynholm Industries, powerful executives oversee billion dollar business deals. But in the dark and shabby basement, the company’s IT Support Team bitter slacker Roy (Chris O’Dowd), socially inept Moss (Richard Ayoade), and their new boss, computer illiterate Jen (Katherine Parkinson) rule their own domain of professional irresponsibility, mega-nerd ecstasy, and random acts of personal insanity.
Producer Ash Atalla (THE OFFICE) and writer/director Graham Linehan (FATHER TED), present the most critically acclaimed comedy series of the fall television season and a 2008 International Emmy Award winner for Best Comedy, now featuring deleted footage, audio commentaries, a behind-the-scenes documentary and much more.

No, the DVD isn’t out as I write this, but I want to encourage North Americans who haven’t seen the show to check it out on BBC America. This is the funniest show I’ve seen for years. My husband will get me this DVD for Mother’s Day if he knows what’s good for him.
I was shocked and bewildered at how ridiculously funny and entertaining The IT Crowd is! I have not laughed this hard in years! I would love to find new ways to communicate just how much this show rocks, and I would love to emphasize to everyone just how much you NEED to check this show out!
Stellar and amazing, The IT Crowd gets my absolute highest recommendation, and my highest rating of approval.
5 stars……. Absolutely brilliant!
The IT Crowd is more gold from the united kingdom. The jokes are not too nerdy but there are enough nerd-core in-jokes that the geek in your life will love this series. Fantastic character work pull off a simple idea and make it phenomenal.
