Hmm, not sure how I feel about this. Those who have read the blog for some time know I love The IT Crowd out of England. I would be perfectly happy for them to broadcast that version here but it looks like, similar to The Office, they are recasting it for the US.

Moss is the same actor which is great, but they changed Roy, Roy was absolutely hilarious in the British version. He reminded me of a couple of guys I know in IT right now. Jen looks like a cuter version of Jen and is Blonde which fits the States well. They changed the manager, I thought the last manager was pretty funny. Like Roy, this new guy has some big shoes he has to try and fill.
I’ve never watched the IT Crowd, but it sounds entertaining. I prolly have to see if I can find it somewhere.
Are you saying you don’t think the US Office made the transition? I do like the British version as well, but I prefer the US version.
Oh I like both versions, but since I initially saw the US Office I like that more than the English version. I expect the same but in reverse here.
You can see the first episode on Google video if you want

I found a download site that had all of the videos at one point but that link seems dead now unfortunately.
