Slashdot Mirror


IT Crowd On-line

prostoalex writes "IT Crowd, a comedy television show by UK's Channel 4, introduced on Slashdot earlier, has released the first episode, available on the official show site in Windows Media format." Pretty standard fare- there are nice touches like EFF stickers and an RTFM shirt scattered about. Some funny stuff, but the laugh track makes it really unwatchable for me.

    Yes, because the world of IT staff is such a limited premise compared to the world of a book store owner, for example.

    It's a weird thing, all the geeks I know who are noticeably fat spent a significant time in America. Is there something about the USA that causes its geeks to become overweight?

    That would be "Burger King" you're wondering about.

    You're right - Graham Linehan should go back to his more successful and hyper-realistic sitcoms like Father Ted, Black Books, Hippies and Big Train.
