DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
The IT Crowd is a British television sitcom originally broadcast by Channel 4 in 2006, created, written, and directed by Graham Linehan and starring Chris O’Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson, and Matt Berry. There was a failed attempt to create a US version of the show after the success of The Office which was also originally a British TV comedy, but the pilot of the US IT Crowd just wasn’t as funny.
