The IT Crowd

[Lard]

Has anyone else seen this series?

It's a British sit-com about two guys and a girl who work in the IT department of a corporation.

Very, very funny stuff.

Please don't get me started on how much I hate that program.

[Esper_Crusader]

I agree. it's howlingly unfunny to me.

Sorry, my reaction is a bit harsh.

It's been on TV here for a while now, and I've just never found anything enjoyable about it. It's from the writer of my favourite ever sit-com (Father Ted), so I just found it to be an enormous disappointment. I just found the characters to be really dull/annoying, and the humour just a bit uninspired. Apparently it's a lot funnier if you actually work in an office.

I've also heard that the second series is a big improvement, but I haven't seen any of it.

I work in an office and I don't find it funny.

Maybe they actually do something interesting with the second season.

[Lard]

Actually, I did find the second series better than the first.

The first episode of the second series in particular is really funny.

I'll admit to being the kind of person that once I've formed an opinion on something I find it difficult to break, especially with comedy. If I get the chance to see the second series than I'll give it a go, but chances are I'd convince myself to hate it. It's a little sad.
