The IT Crowd

We just started watching this on BBC America (or is it KTEH? Can't remember). It's a little on the broad comedy side, but it's still a hoot. I've only seen one episode, but it seems to be about a small IT department, consisting of two geek guys and their female supervisor. The supervisor is played by the same woman who portrays Pauline, Doc Martin's fluff-brained receptionist.

There are nerd jokes aplenty, as well as Dilbert-esque commentary on the hypocrisy and greed of a modern corporation. The two geek IT guys get to chat about a lot of the same issues that 'Raffers like to bicker about, i.e., "why do women only like bastards" and "IT geeks tend to live in their moms' basements and do online dating". Huh - there isn't much difference between the continents!

I'll have to watch some more episodes to confirm my thumbs-up on this show.
