The IT Crowd - Series 1 DVD

Advantages: Acting performances of the highest quality
Disadvantages: sometimes predictable

Review of The IT Crowd Series One DVD I first got into 'The IT Crowd' when I saw a clip on one of those channel four's top 100 comedy….whatevers, which featured a clip from a scene of a woman looking like her head was floating through the air when in fact she was sat on a trolley that was being pushed by a midget like character named 'small Paul'. The surreal ness of it all coupled with the knowledge that it was written by the same guy (Graham ...
...had to buy the series on DVD. Basic Storyline The show is centred around three main characters whom all work in the basement of a company, two as IT teckies (Roy and Moss) managed by the non IT teckie, Jen, who is known as the 'relationship manager'. Each character is contrasting to the next and the series focuses on the different situations that occur and how they are dealt with by these three characters. More of this is in detail later ...

...so when I first saw the adverts on TV advertising this new first series of a sitcom called “The IT Crowd” I thought I would watch it. The adverts made it look good and after watching the first episode I can remember I wasn’t disappointed and I watched the whole series from then on. After the series finished and came out on DVD I decided to buy it, mainly because I had enjoyed it the first time round and I hadn’t watched it ...
...a little what happened in the episodes and would probably watch it again and again. Also I have quite a few sitcoms on DVD so it would be another fine addition to my current collection of comedy DVDs. The IT crowd is about three main characters and although there are other characters who play other central roles in some episodes they are not in all episodes and these three main characters are. There is Roy, the very funny and very Irish IT technicians ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant, original new comedy from our new generation of young British comedians.
Disadvantages: The series is disappointingly short, and would benefit from being twice the length

...types of computer geek: There's the all-round nerd with no common sense, or any idea about how society really works, just a lot of knowledge about boring things. And there's the gamer. Not overly knowledgeable about anything other than computers, and a bit more clued-up about life beyond the darkened room, but still hopeless, sucked into the world of processors and BIOS setup through a love of computer games. In the IT Crowd, the overall geek ...
...much of a social life. The slightly less nerdy of the two IT guys is Roy, played by Irish actor Chris O'Dowd. He likes to think of himself as a perfectly normal, well-adjusted guy, but it is clear that deep down he is not very different from Moss. The IT Crowd is the story of how their working lives are changed by the arrival of Jen, a fiery and completely computer-illiterate manager played by Katherine Parkinson. She lied on her CV, saying that ... Read review

Advantages: very funny

When I first saw the IT crowd on TV I thought it wasn't my cup of tea and turned over, but on watching the whole first series with a friend of mine I have to admit, I am hooked!!! There is something about this series that takes me back to old comodore 64's and I am a bit of a nerd :) This six episode DVD, follows Jen's initiation into the IT department, having tied through her teeth to her crazy new boss Denham that she knows about computers. She ...
...is my favourite character!! The answer EVERY CALL with 'hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again' and have an avertion to fixing any problems! I have worked in an IT deparment and in parts it was so spot on. I have found myself asking that since watching the show! The slightly disappointing side is that some things are so far fetched or cringy, the down to earth stuff is hilarious but for me hitting someone till they bleed isnt funny. ... Read review
