tried turning it off then on again  .. yeah, it could be better, and it's
growing into it, but it has that cagey british comedy feel to it that gets

It's silly, its juvenile, but it's a bit of mindless fun in a world that
needs to lighten up a little.

You mentioned the office earlier, which do you prefer the UK version or
the US version. I am very impressed with the US version much better than
any of the other comedies they have tried to copy (coupling springs to
mind). I a on the verge of saying that I think the US version is better
and that takes a lot coming from me.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people still blindly download things

Personally, I wouldn't go near it with a 10ft pole, ESPECIALLY if using a

Channel 4 is a public owned network in the UK.  They put out the files
themselves on the internet each week for free download for anyone in the UK.
It then spreads, of course, but uh, sharing The IT Crowd is not the same
as most content - the network itself packages a nice version for the web.
