It's hard to get a sense of the show from a clip because there are definite subtleties and continuing references, but here's a pretty good one.
Also, the intro is pretty awesome.
The first four series (seasons for you non-anglophiles) are available on Netflix Streaming. Thanks, Mandy, for suggesting it!
Other recommendations:
Ally McBeal is available on streaming, for those of us who never watched it the first time around (or if you did and loved it).
Need a good cry? All Dogs Go To Heaven is available for streaming.
Haven't seen Iron Man 2 since it came out? It just showed up on streaming.
Want to mix it up in your classic sci-fi watching? Tired of space exploration? Check out Sea Quest. The first season is quite entertaining, but it gets very silly after that.
I've been meaning to watch The IT Crowd for a while but I keep forgetting. It sounds like a mash-up of The Big Bang Theory and The Office but I might be way off base there. I'll have to watch and find out!
ReplyDelete@Jeff - I guess it is sort of like that, but it is a very original show, too. And very British.
ReplyDeleteAww, I watched an episode of the IT Crowd once on an airplane and loved it, but I hadn't even thought to check Netflix! And I definitely didn't know that my future Irish husband was on that show! ;) I am looking that up as soon as I get home :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love The IT Crowd! Always excited when I find someone else who watches it.... Very hit or miss, but some of the "hits" made me so happy. Sometimes, all I have to do is repeat "I'm disabled" or "Peter File" to myself for a sure-fire (if totally inappropriate) pick-me-up. :)
ReplyDelete@HazelandMare - if you love Chris, you will definitely like the IT crowd.
ReplyDelete@Tara - I agree with you on the hit or miss thing. You definitely can't be one of those people that quits a show after one not-perfect episode. Heehee, "Peter File" is making me giggle.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it. :) Have you gotten to the parts with Richmond yet? He's my favorite.
