Reynholm Industries decides to create its first nude calendar.
At the UK company Reynholm Industries, their corporate high-rise towers are full of beautiful happy people with one success story after another. Well, except for the employees that work in the basement - the IT department. While their colleagues work in fantastic surroundings, Jen, Roy and Moss… More must work below ground in the dark and horrible basement, struggling to make it into normal society. Jen ( Katherine Parkinson ) is a career person who is looking to climb the corporate ladder. Unfortunately, due to fibbing on her CV (resumé), she finds herself the manager of the IT Department. The problem is, she knows nothing about technology! Roy ( Chris O'Dowd ) and Moss ( Richard Ayoade ) make up the IT Department and share a love of technology, science fiction and not having to work if at all possible. What they don't like is the idea of being supervised by someone who knows nothing about computers. Seeing that Roy and Moss may know a lot about computers, but very little about working with people, Jen takes on the role of "Relationship Manager" to help the guys and help herself in the process. The IT Crowd is a playful and somewhat surreal look at what it's really like to be the underof every company - the IT Department. In 2008, The IT Crowd won the Rose D'Or for Best Comedy.

Never much of a fan of British comedy shows until I discovered this DVD set on sale and for whatever reason decided to go ahead and purchase series 1-3. The series is absolutely fabulous! hide show
Each episode well written, performances by Katharine Parkinson (Jen), Chris O'Dowd (Roy), and Richard Ayoade (Moss) are all extremely well executed; makes one want to find more of what they all have to offer. It is unfortunate that british comedies only have 6 episodes per series, I suppose it's quality over quantity.
If you are hesitant on watching this show please don't be and please do so now. I am really not much of a TV critique (this being my first review) but this is one show I find to be extremely well thought out and deserving of the credit it needs.
If you like comedy and have not seen this, the you are really missing something great. hide show
This is the absolute best British Comedy I have ever seen. Being an IT worker, I have a heart-felt love for the topic. However, you do not have to be a geek to enjoy this show. My wife, who hates almost all UK TV loves the IT Crowd as well. The writing is masterful and the comedy acting is superb. Chris O. reminds me of John Ritter in the role of "Jack Tripper" in "Three's Company." (Similar style in the physical comedy.) Richard A. is spot on as the brilliant super-geek and Katherine P. is a wonderful actress. The supporting cast and writing are simply wonderful in choice and execution. And the Geek-Shirt theme has generated its own cult following across the internet. Well done to all involved!
Really funny show, especially if you have ever worked for or with a company IT department! hide show
I recently stumbled across this little gem of a show and am now hooked. It is absolutely hilarious with lots of really well-drawn characters. The IT nerds, Moss and Roy are so like IT nerds I have worked with in the past that it is uncanny. I loved the weird boss, Denholm and Jen was fun too, when it was obvious she knew nothing about computers. The jokes came fast and furious but I never felt the humour was at all forced, it just appealed to my sense of humour. A great show, worth keeping on with and watching to the end of the series.
A group of IT specialist so to speak at the bottom of a company. We all know them we all tend to hate them, but do we know why they hate us? This show follows the IT department Roy, Moss and there so called boss Jen and all there miss adventures. hide show
I personally love this series mainly because it reminds me of my friends, and occasionally me though not as bad. Whenever i ask my friends for help with my computer there first response is did you turn it off and on, and when I get asked I do the same thing. The jokes are just great in the show and I will say this now there not for everyone. The jokes focus obviously on gamer jokes and really computer related jokes so if you have no interest or really don't get some of them don't bother. Though some of the jokes are known to those who have any access to the internet. Like when they convince Jen the internet is a black box with a light on it that's wireless and is put on top of Big Ben for the best reception. Also faking being a cripple, but i will say this there are jokes for the other side against the IT department. This is a TV show where you need to like British comedy bottom line is you either love it or hate it, or relate to it. I suggest if your not from England then watch a episode online of the UK version since there is a second version witch is americium witch i believe while i am writing this is not out yet.
Brie...liant series!!! hide show
A fantastic comedy show. Three of the best actors and actresses to be put together in an IT environment. The one liners are so funny. Fantastic series that will keep you coming back for more. Has the three of the most bizarre characters, Jen who lies on her CV to get the job only to know absolutely nothing about computers, Moss who is a very insular person who is afraid of change and Roy who does anything for his stomach and an easy life. There is also a whole host of other characters that will keep you laughing for hours
