If your still reading this post after seeing a title with the phrase ‘IT’ in it you just passed the test.
The IT Crowd is a new comedy set to appear on the Channel 4 network in the UK. The first episode, and all subsequent episodes, will debut on the channel 4 website a week before it is aired on TV. Not only is this cool, but its starting to show a nice trend in television where the networks are realizing the power of the web allowing people to view entire programs before they air.
This is how marketing at Channel 4 describes the show:
The high-rise towers of Renham Industries are full of go-getters, success stories, and winners… apart from in the basement. While their beautiful colleagues work upstairs in fantastic surroundings, the I.T. department – Jen, Roy and Moss – lurk below ground, scorned by their co-workers as geeky losers.
Thanks to my imaginary friends at Slashdot for making me aware of this.

“If your still”, ahh if only you were being ironic, that’d be the funniest thing in the article.
This is the worst programme made since … well it’s worse than The Good Life because it has no mud. It’s worse than Frank Spencer because Betty wasn’t a ginga. It’s worse than It ain’t half hot Mum because it’s less than half.
To coin a phrase “Worst shit com evAr”. If they gave away a satellite with each edition it wouldn’t compensate for the dross within. A laugh track FFS.
