It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes. After watching the first two episodes of "The IT Crowd" last night I decided to make time to watch it again next week.
This sitcom follows the lives of three employees in the IT support department of a company run by a maniacal character played by the anarchic Chris Morris.
There were some great geeky touches like the o'reilly animals on the wall, the RTFM t-shirt as well as the posters promoting open source and fair use.
However, I do think that some of the characterisation may be over the top. There was a scene where "Moss" had his amazon books delivered to his desk. He had ordered both the adult and children's versions of the latest Harry Potter book so that he could compare the texts to make sure that they weren't different. Now who would be pedantic enough to do something like that?
You can watch the episodes online and get some useful links from the website.
