Aww, it doesn't seems like I'm a good boy after all. I've just finished watching this British sitcom, The IT Crowd. It currently has 2 series of 6 episodes each, and I've finished watching both series. According to our friend, Wikipedia, a 3rd series will be produced.

The IT Crowd is set in the offices of Reynholm Industries, a fictitious British corporation in central London. It focuses on the shenanigans of the three-strong IT support team located in a dingy, untidy and unkept basement - a stark contrast to the shining modern architecture and stunning London views enjoyed by the rest of the organisation. The obscurity surrounding what this company actually does (despite announcing profits such as "eighteen hundred billion billion") serves as a running gag throughout the series. The team consists of what Douglas Renholm describes as "a dynamic go-getter (Jen), a technological genius (Moss) and a man from Ireland (Roy)".

Moss and Roy, the two technicians, are portrayed as socially inept geeks or "standard nerds". Despite the company's utter dependence on their services, they are despised, ignored, and considered losers by the rest of the staff. Roy's exasperation is reflected in his support techniques of ignoring the phone in the hope it will stop ringing, and using reel-to-reel tape recordings of stock IT suggestions ("Have you tried turning it off and on again?" and "Are you sure it's plugged in?"). Moss's wide and intricate knowledge of all things technical is reflected in his extremely accurate yet utterly indecipherable suggestions, while demonstrating a complete inability to deal with practical problems like extinguishing fires and removing spiders.

Jen, the newest member of the team, is hopelessly non-technical, despite claiming on her CV that she has "a lot of experience with computers". As Denholm, the company boss, is equally tech-illiterate, he's convinced by Jen's interview bluffing and appoints her head of the IT department. Her official title is "relationship manager", yet her attempts at bridging the gulf between the technicians and the business generally have the opposite effect, landing Jen in situations just as ludicrous as those of her team-mates.

This show is extremely hilarious and I really recommend it to everyone who are feeling stressed up. It really lightens your mood greatly. Plus this sitcom also won the Best Sitcom prize at the 2008 Rose d'Or ceremony, a highly prestigious television award, given annually since 1961 which are focused on entertainment-based programming, thus excluding dramas, documentaries and other genres usually more celebrated at other awards ceremonies.

And oh, it's all thanks to Hanafi who introduced this sitcom to me as well as wikipedia for providing most of the information in this post. Good night!
