We know, we know -- there are a lot of people telling you that British TV shows are very good. "Oh, the original Office is so much better than the new one! Oh, I like the British Life on Mars a lot more! Oh, I'm so glad they didn't remake Spaced!" Well, this time, we really mean it -- The IT Crowd is really, really funny, and you should really watch it before the show's stars become big Hollywood movie stars, so you can say you knew them when. Let's meet them, shall we?
Chris O'Dowd plays Roy, the awkward, and yet comparatively suave Irish computer technician at a big corporation, and you may have seen him as the blind swordsman in Dinner for Schmucks. (He'll also be in Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels.) Matt Berry plays incompetent CEO Douglas Reynholm, and he was in Moon with Sam Rockwell as well as a few episodes of The Sarah Silverman Program. Richard Ayoade plays the dimwitted scientific genius Moss, and he's... well, he's mostly been in other good U.K. shows, like The Mighty Boosh and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place (both with Berry). Ditto Katherine Parkinson, who plays the computer-unsavvy IT supervisor Jen and appeared in Pirate Radio and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (both with O'Dowd).
Okay, so not all of them have really broken into mainstream Hollywood, but they will, mark our words. Besides, watching these four navigate awkward workplace situations (mostly of Reynholm's making) and even more awkward social situations (mostly of their own making) is still damn funny, and has very little to do with computer repair.
The IT Crowd premieres tonight at 10:30 on IFC. And while we have you, check out other British TV shows you should be watching!

I've seen every episode of this show. Don't let the first two eps (which are not that great) dissuade you from continuing on with the series. Hang in there for "Aunt Irma Visits" and "The Work Outing". Trust me.
“The Work Outing” is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV. I was literally bent over double; laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Thanks to the DVDs I got my whole family addicted to this show. We can’t wait for the new episodes, and look forward to seeing what absurdities Moss, Roy and Jen get into next.
Spot on.
I bloody love this show. And I thought the series four finale was hilarious. When someone we'd thought lost to scurvy showed up, I almost died.
Believe me, as a brit, most British TV is bloody awful, only avoiding the depths of USA reality tv shows because of the smaller range of shows on offer.
On the other hand, this one is pretty decent, so good news.
Thanks, I learned a lot for myself.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
I and also my pals were looking through the best things on your website while unexpectedly I had a horrible feeling I never thanked the web site owner for them. All the boys became consequently joyful to read all of them and already have really been having fun with these things. Many thanks for really being so accommodating as well as for opting for such quality issues most people are really desirous to understand about. Our own honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I wish to express appreciation to the writer for this wonderful post.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
