The IT Crowd
2006
Enter the glamorous offices of Reynholm Industries, then take the elevator to the basement, where you'll find the decidedly unglamorous IT support team: slacker Roy (Chris O'Dowd), social misfit Moss (Richard Ayoade) and technically ignorant supervisor Jen (Katherine Parkinson). Together, they find nerd-tastic adventures in this hilarious British sitcom from the producer of "The Office." The program won a 2008 International Emmy for Best Comedy.

This wasn't bad, but the humor is just over the top silly. As a real life nerd, I would have enjoyed the concept much more if the characters were portrayed a bit more realistically.
Though it borders on slapstick at times, this series is well worth the look if you're a fan of situational british comedy. Unlike its US counterparts, this show knows you're already in on the joke and doesn't patronize its audience.
