Profile of The IT Crowd

The IT Crowd can be described as witty, humorous, and clever. The plot revolves around computers and the web, bosses and employees, and social misfits. Its comic aspect comes from verbal byplay and satire. The IT Crowd's main genre is comedy. In terms of style, it is a sitcom and stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. The IT Crowd is set, at least in part, in an office. It is located in the USA. It takes place in contemporary times. The IT Crowd is based on a TV series.

Summary of The IT Crowd

Most know them only as the apparitions who materialize to work their elusive magic on cryptic error messages and computer meltdowns, before vanishing just as suddenly as they appeared. But in this British sitcom, the long-suffering workers known as the I.T. Department finally get their due. Fans of THE OFFICE will likely enjoy this bubbling workplace satire, which focuses on hot-tempered techno-toiler Roy (Chris O’Dowd), hapless nerd Moss (Richard Ayoade), and their pretty, computer-illiterate manager, Jen (Katherine Parkinson). From their dilapidated den in the basement of a London skyscraper, the team fight a daily battle against impaired office equipment, malfunctioning employees, and their delightfully deranged boss, Denholm Reynholm (Christopher Morris).

Waste of an interesting idea.
This show could have been really fresh and hilarious, but the laugh track and the campy, forced acting and dialogue hurled it over the edge. I thought the British were supposed to offer an alternative to American sitcom garbage?
Not really that great. Jokes were overplayed. Acting was a bit forced. Laugh track was horrible. The characters were kind of fun, though.
Likely to see
Not for me
