American Remake of "The IT Crowd" You Never Got to See

Thank god for laugh tracks for without them I wouldn’t have been able to tell where the funny bits were in this totally unnecessary attempt at re-making the British comedy series The IT Crowd for the American market.

Despite the involvement of original IT Crowd alumni Richard Ayoade and the talented Joel McHale (Community), one can see why NBC passed on this 2007 pilot. It just ain’t funny and lacks the spark that made the Brit show so smart, so hilarious and so addictive.

Wow... that was a special kind of bad. I don't know if it was worth reporting and having it fixed. LOL. The canned laughter was part of the problem, but I just don't think anyone but Richard Ayoade delivered well, and it just came off dry...

wow...yeah that definitely didn't work.

Joel McHale simply wasn't the right choice for this version. Just not believable as a computer nerd especially after Community. America just loves to cast pretty people and then pretend they're ugly and antisocial.

I'm sure they would have had him hook up with Jen before the season was over too
