I Am Now in With The IT Crowd

For years, I've been hearing how good the British series The IT Crowd is. "It's so good," everyone kept telling me, "that they're talking about doing an American version!" Being an inherently lazy person, this gave me even less of a desire to seek it out, as I was willing to wait until it got to the U.S. in some bastardized form. (Hey, this was when the American Office was just winning people over, so I was not being completely irrational.) Now, with no remake in sight, IFC has come to my rescue, because they've been airing the original IT Crowd Tuesday nights at 8:00, and it is every bit as hysterical as promised.

In many ways, the show is a fairly standard multi-camera sitcom, but it has doses of Young Ones-style surrealism and Black Books-style misanthropism. In fact, the core characters are very Black Books-ish, as the show focuses on the messy and irascible Roy, the dim but intellectual Moss and the pair's out-of-her-element supervisor Jen. Working out of a basement office with mysterious doors and semi-regular garbage fires, Jen, Roy and Moss try to do as little work as possible while still meeting the minimal corporate requirements of their crazed CEO, Denholm. But me describing the show isn't particularly funny, so check out a clip that shows Roy and Moss at their most ridiculous before tuning in for tonight's episode.

Different people in every country take the business loans from various creditors, because that's comfortable and fast.
