IT Crowd (UK) Coming Back For Season 4
sammyF70 writes "Every geek's favourite non-sci-fi show (the original UK one, not the abysmally bad German and US remakes) is coming back for a fourth season! According to the IMDB's message board, it should be on the air 'Juneish.' While you wait, you can check out what kind of vintage hardware will be on the show this time, and remember: if you illegally download movies, you will face the consequences!"
By which I mean the RSS'd BitTorrent client, and the batch script that passes its products to Handbrake, then loads the transcoded files into iTunes.
Also, the batch script that restarts iTunes at 5am to force it sync with the iPad and hacked iPod touch attached.
At least it's funnier than The Big Bang Theory.
Pretty good is actually pretty bad.
I watched one episode of this garbage when it first came out. A few weeks later I accidentally watched a small portion of another episode. Never again. The first one was dire and the second was just as bad.
One-dimensional, cliched characters that portray IT people as social inadequates. Tacky sets and embarrasingly bad plots (well from a sample size of 2) and utterly forgettable dialog. No thanks.
They should cut out the jokes and content and just make it a long list of references to things that make the viewers feel intelligent. They could call it "xkcd: The TV Show".

Jen says something intelligent and profound so that

writer. Moss mentions Maxwell's equation.

Do yourself a favor and forget that you heard of it now. Remember: You can't unsee it! There is no German version of the IT Crowd. LALALALALA
So they tried turning the show off and then on again?

"LALALALALA"? Don't start infringing on Apple IPs please!
You're wrong! That's not amusing at all!

There was "Das iTeam - Die Jungs an der Maus", which was a crappy shot-by-shot remake. It was really bad.
I don't know why, the Germans normally have an excellent sense of humour ;-)

There was a german remake? Never heard of it. I guess it was really bad.
Yeah, it focuses on an IBM support team in WWII Germany.

Not if he's watching Big Bang Theory.

You're kidding right, the prog is unfunny in the extreme and the writer explididly choose not to include any geek humor. For a real geek comedy show see, The Big Bang Theory
Stupid Flanders...
The presenter certainly didn't convey the context in which those quotes are memorable.
However, based on your responses I'm not sure what you would find humorous.
We'll look into finding some of the comic strips from the free prizes in cracker jack boxes.
It's good to start slow and gradually work up to substance.
