This finished weeks ago, but I'm just catching up with it, and it's superb stuff! Sitcom written by Graham Linehan of Father Ted fame in case anybody didn't know. I thought the first series was ok, but this one is just brilliant. The first episode in particular had me in stitches Anybody else see it?
I've seen this. I'm not sure which series was which. The one I watched was the one that contained the funeral episode, which i believe was the 2nd series. It was really funny. I'd given it a pass on the first series and didn't bother watching, but tuned in to the 2nd series and found myself laughing and chuckling quite a lot. Especially at some of the 'geek' jokes. One of the things that makes me laugh about the program, is the subtleties of the 'geek world' seem to carry over everywhere and it reminds me loads of people i have known or know at present.
Yes that's the second series. The funeral episode and the theatre episode were just inspired! This really has turned into something of a classic after what I thought was a lacklustre first series.
I cant watch it anymore bt i did watch alot of the first series... I dunno when is it on? i could try taping it or watching it on the internet... Hmm..
I used to work in IT and I thought they should make a sitcom about our job; sadly I was 20 years ahead of my time. Here's a typical dialogue from those days: Bozo: I havent' changed a thing and suddenly my program doesnt' work. Techie: Come on, you must have changed something. Bozo: Well yes, but it wasn't anything relevant to the problem. Techie: Ok but just to be sure, go and change it back and see if you still have the problem. And 99 times out of 10, that would be the last you would hear of them.
It honestly has to be one of my all time favourite sitcoms. Graham Linehan is a brilliant writer Btw if yew guys liked this then yew have to see black books!! the first series was co-written by Graham and then some of the 3rd was as well. in fact I might go watch them now...
Since the middle of last year I've been working as phone support for a medium-sized company providing software and support. We also do scanners, since the software is meant for filing. We had a call from a woman whose scanner wasn't working. This call was bounced round the entire department, with the woman getting more and more frustrated. We had her reinstall drivers, check device manager, shut the PC and scanner down...we even had her remove the cable from the back of the PC and scanner, hold them in her hands and make sure it was the same cable. I eventually came to the conclusion that the cable was faulty. The call came back to one of my colleagues, and he spent a long time trying to solve it, until we finally sent an engineer out and he solved the problem. In about ten minutes. Anyone trying to set a scanner up - when you plug it into the PC base unit, make sure you plug it into the right unit and not the one that's sitting right beside it. However, when your scanner doesn't work and we tell you to reboot the PC and the scanner, please tell us that you've done that before you called and make a big deal out of it. Huff and puff and stamp your little feet. The little part of our soul that working in phone support kills comes back to life for a brief glowing moment when the scanner inevitably works perfectly, and you do that awkward pause/stammer insisting that it didn't work last time. I'm gonna have to get out of phone support before it kills me. Or leads me to killing. Anyway, The IT Crowd is great, but I always seem to miss the good TV. Are they out on DVD yet?
Really though I've only caught the 2 episodes of this shown most recently (after Peep Show. I was being lazy and didn't switch off) and I found them both reet funny, I think I'm a fan That was an hour well spent
