The IT Crowd Season 2

The IT Crowd on couch
Last year, I heard about a British comedy show that was drawing attention and cheers from geeks around the world... The IT Crowd is a Channel 4 comedy about a dysfunctional IT department in a fictional, mismanaged company.


I watched the entire series - 6 episodes - and was awestruck... I've always enjoyed comedies from the foggy land of scones and tea, but this was even better than I expected... alternative humour from Graham Linehan, with subtle geek references everywhere.

Unlike most geek humour, non-geeks will find it hilarious as well... none of the dialogue is behind the closed doors of technology, but everything in the background is...

A classic scene:



You love it, don't you?

Well, Season 1 came and went. We were all very lonely and sad for a while, but Season 2 is finally coming back to the airwaves... it'll be on (in the UK) on August 24th on Channel 4.


Who knows when it'll show on Australian TV? I just bought Season 1, and I feel like a giddy schoolgirl prancing around in the first sunshine of spring. The DVD comes with subtitles in l33t!

Watch the opening minutes to the first episode:



You love it, don't you?

(found on BoingBoing - apparently, Cory Doctorow was a consultant for the show)
