The IT Crowd

This wonderful British comes with 4 seasons with a total of 25 (+1special) episodes. These 25 minute show came out between 2006 and 2013.

Smarties cereal, (holding a gun in your hand)I wonder if its loaded (puts in mouth)(click click click) guess not, nude grandmother calenders, cakes filled with poo and knives in London, and so much more. This comedy takes place in the basement of a large corporate building. The IT department. These nerds are completely misunderstood and subsequently unappreciated. After all we don't care about the people who work our computers as long as they work.

And of course there are generally only 2 problems with computers. Either it needs to be turned off and on again, or its not plugged in. So much so that these pretty much become the catchphrase of the show and I believe that every single episode has someone say "Have you tried turning it on and off again?" at least once.

And of course then there is Jen, the woman who accidentally gets hired to the department when she knows nothing about computers. She becomes their relationship manager and plenty of jokes about the stupidity and genius of each other ensues.

Now some warning to those who are not familiar with British humor, and British television. It is very different from American TV. First off they can curse. There are a few episodes where they say Fuck. Also bathroom humor is completely allowed. Few times will you see American TV make jokes about poo (Scrubs excluded). They also prefer to make fun of the French instead of Indians (from India) like America does in the case of telephone tech support and whatnot. And lastly British humor utilizes quick and sudden things like a main character suddenly jumping out a 40 story window.

I really like this show, it is great if you need a quick or good laugh. The first season is personally the best, but that doesn't mean in any sense that the others are bad, its just the first is the best. The show gets an 10.5 out of 11.
