This show would be great I think except for one thing.

That damn laugh track they add.

It is seriously annoying. Really loud and grating. I can never watch more than like an episode because of that thing.

We need to do to this show what we did to The Office. Buy it, keep the funny, and enhance it by removing the stupid British crap like laugh tracks and ..other stupid stuff.

I hate the shakey camera work of shows like the office much more.

Plus The Office isn't funny.

Well I see your point, but the original British Office did not have a laugh track as I recall, plus it was freaking hilariously awesome. The US Office did become a decent show after the second season, so I would support a remake of The IT Crowd

I went through the first 3 seasons on Netflix and loved it.

The one where they went to the musical, one guy ended up in a wheelchair and the other behind the bar was hilarious.

Didn't even notice the laugh track.

Never really noticed the laugh track.

Fantastic show. As Train mentioned above, "The Work Outing" (S02E01) is some of the best comedy I've ever seen.

Yar... I've never noticed a laugh track in The IT Crowd.

Oh and "I'm disaaaabled."

Plus, if you've never seen the fake FBI warning from Season 2... you're missing out!

NBC bought the rights to remake the IT Crowd and even kept the actor playing Morris Moss, but I think they canned the project.

Allow me to put on my slightly larger glasses.

I guess I should give it another shot, but that first episode was freaking painful to watch. Presumably it gets better. :hmm:

The US Office isn't as good in the past few seasons (still good overall) but the first 3 seasons are some of the best TV ever made.

That's just wrong. How could they keep Moss but not the guy that plays Roy? Clearly Moss makes the show, but Roy is perfect as his straight man.

Great show. I love the night out episode where Roy acts disabled. And the one where they play the prank about The Internet.

IT crowd is awesome. The first season is the best though. I find after that they lean away from the "IT office" theme. They're still funny, though, like the super vibrator phone lol.

What are they at now anyway? I saw season 1 2 and 3, do they have more now?

Oh and breaking the internet... that's a classic. We actually got a coop student to fall for that one... not a bright kid. I get him to type google into google and pulled his network cord out... poor kid, he seriously thought he broke the internet lol.

You seem like one of those anal retentive people who have to have everything perfect to enjoy something.
