The IT Crowd is a British television sitcom which premiered on Channel 4 on 3 February 2006 (Wikipedia, n.d.).
The series was created, written, and directed by Graham Linehan, produced by Ash Atalla and starring Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson, and Matt Berry.
The IT Crowd is set in the offices of Reynholm Industries, a fictional British corporation based at 123 Carenden Road in Central London. It focuses on the shenanigans of the three members of the IT support team, who work in a dingy, cluttered basement – a great contrast to the shining modern architecture and stunning London views enjoyed by the rest of the organisation.
Roy and Moss, the two technicians, are socially inept geeks or, in Denholm Reynholm's words, “standard nerds”.
Roy's support techniques include ignoring the phone, hoping it will stop ringing, and using reel-to-reel tape recordings of stock IT suggestions such as, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” and “Is it definitely plugged in?”. He wears a different geek-related T-shirt in most episodes.
Moss' deep knowledge of technical topics is reflected in his extended, overly detailed suggestions, while he cannot deal with practical problems such as extinguishing fires and removing spiders. His shyness makes it difficult for him to relate to others, often leading him to cite bizarre facts or dwell on himself and/or technology.
As two socially inept computer nerds ourselves, we absolutely loved The IT Crowd.
