I won't cover the plot of The IT Crowd (IT as in Information Technology) as there are plenty of other reviews that describe them perfectly on Amazon. However, for anyone considering buying this without knowing a single thing about the show, I'll say that it could make you look like a genius to your NERDY friends. The show covers modern problems and (mostly) ridiculous situations which tend to be rude, as only the British can pull off. Some of the characters are over the top, but they all are charming nonetheless.
The IT Crowd passes both of my 'tests' for whether or not I buy a DVD for a movie or TV show. My first test is, 'Is it still entertaining after several viewings?'. After watching every episode of The IT Crowd via streaming, from all four seasons **multiple times**, I still jumped at the chance to get them on DVD (from a reseller on Amazon). After popping in the DVDs I still found myself laughing out loud at times.
My second test is extra content. There isn't a lot, but considering that each season contains only 6 episodes, it's just the right amount. The details packed into the DVD menus are intricate and charming. Most of the menus are shown as old school video games or something PC-related which play in the background featuring the show characters. And there's a '1337' subtitle option (Leet Speak) on disc 1, which programmers will appreciate on an entirely different level. Here is a list of the features as listed on the boxes:
Season One:
* Deleted Scenes
* "Behind the IT Crowd"
* "Hello Friend" - a short film that is slightly related to the show, perhaps as an early idea for the show
Season Two:
* Commentary by Graham Linehan
* Outtakes
* "Recording the IT Crowd"
Season Three:
* Commentary by Graham Linehan
* Interview with Graham Linehan
* Set Tour
* Deleted Scenes
* Outtakes
* Original Title Sequence Animation
Season Four:
* The IT Crowd on Location
* Outtakes
* Hidden Extras
* "A Guide to Sitcom Writing" (Commentary by Graham Linehan)
* Kalypso by Sweet Billy Pilgrom featuring Katherine Parkinson
Shows are run differently in the UK and you get the feeling that the British are definitely followers of the saying "Quality over quantity". Another thing to keep in mind is that UK shows also tend to be a little crude, so this show isn't entirely "family friendly", but definitely an enjoyable show for working adults. UK shows also benefit more than US shows in how they usually know if a show is going to end, and write the scripts accordingly. IT Crowd writer Graham Linehan himself admits in the commentary for disc 2 that he'll end the show before it starts to get boring. After four seasons, this show is still going strong. I can't wait to see what season 5 brings.
