'The IT Crowd' to return for finale special

The IT crowd, for me, is one of those happy accidents in television where the writers, producers, and actors all manage to capture the humor of a subculture without patronizing it. When I saw the first episode, I knew that these folks had done something special and I'm quite tickled that they are bringing it back for even a single episode.<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab8GtuPdrUQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab8GtuPdrUQ</a>

I'll never forget the first time I saw this show. It was 3am, had insomnia for some reason and saw the episode "Gay! A Gay Musical"[1]. I laughed so hard I cried and woke up my wife, it was fantastic! Just utterly brilliant! "I'm disabled..." has become sort of an inside joke with my brother because of this episode.<p>I'm glad they're bringing it back for one last run, it certainly deserves it.<p>[1] - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TQJILoFd5o" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TQJILoFd5o</a>

Great news and really looking forward to see it.<p>Will not be that easy for them to be as successful again, but there is certainly still enough to laugh about in corporate IT today.<p>Just remember how much time has changed since their first series was aired and how much influence they had - "Have you tried turning it off and on again" is basically a common term in UK English today and almost everybody will know today that you wont break the Internet when you type Google into Google ...<p>[comment approved by the Elders of the Internet]

I guess they were finally able to turn it off and then on again.

If you enjoy that kind of humor, be sure to check Father Ted and Black Books.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I always enjoyed their take on piracy.<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZZx1xmAzg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZZx1xmAzg</a>

I had the good fortune to contribute a few of the alternative subtitles for the first season DVD. Unfortunately, I don't think anybody noticed them, even with a BB writeup. <a href="http://boingboing.net/2006/11/15/it-crowd-dvd-has-sub.html" rel="nofollow">http://boingboing.net/2006/11/15/it-crowd-dvd-has-sub.html</a>

Been waiting for this for a while now

Damn it, I though it's buried forever.

I deal with enough miscalibrated sperglords on a daily basis that the absolute last fucking thing on Earth I'd do in my small amount of free time is willingly watch a sitcom wherein they are depicted accurately.
