NBC to just keep rebooting The IT Crowd until the damn thing works
Suggesting that someone at NBC is really in love with modem-based humor, the network has announced that it’s now taking a third stab at rebooting—computers!—the now-classic British sitcom The IT Crowd for an American audience. The network’s past efforts to bring the show to America have famously produced uniformly dismal results, despite the involvement of a host of truly great people, including Joel McHale, Bill Lawrence, Jessica St. Clair, and the show’s original star, Richard Ayoade—a result that might suggest to a less IT-crazy network that the project was doomed from the start.
