It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Umm I don't know. It just is not that funny...ummmm.... In fact, I didn't laugh not even once throughout whole season. I really have no idea how people can watch rubbish. Yes it is a total rubbish. not funny not even a bit. To tell you truth I forced myself to watch this series because my girlfriend insisted me to watch. Well her taste is quite weird. What? I have to write 10 lines? It's more than this show deserves actually. OK I will try bla.. blaa.. baa. braa.. baraaa.. lab.. laabla... bla. Is that okay? I guess it is. So if you are dying to laugh, had better avoid this show for sure. And if you are a basement nerd who watches almost anything, go for it.

Me and my husband came across this entirely by accident one night while flicking through the channels and couldn't stop laughing at it. we were devastated when it was only on for a few weeks and we still talk about it now. It really needs to be brought back onto the telly for people to enjoy it all over again. I would love a new series too but just seeing the original would be just about good enough. All the cheesy '80's'style bad wobbly sets and stilted acting are spot on. Trying to explain the premise to people is impossible, the only way to get it across is to watch it. If you watch the IT crowd you will be familiar with some aspects of it. The boss in the IT crowd will point you in the direction of the amount of cheese.

I first watched this show about 4-5 years ago, I had bought it on DVD because I had heard such great things about it. I was amused, but slightly disappointed. It didn't immediately appeal to me. However, about 1 year ago, my friend convinced me to give it another shot.When trying to describe how this show is produced, it is impossible not to contradict oneself. The point of this show is to laugh at the shoddy production, writing and acting. However, the way this show is acted, written and produced is, for me the best, the most observant, yet ridiculous, that I have ever seen on British comedy television. My favourite example of the writing has to be in episode 3, 'Skipper the eye child', when Rick Dagless m.d. (Garth Marenghi) says:You know what Sanch, you can dissect a heart, but you'll never know what makes it skip a beatThis programme, for me is pure genius, because Matt Holness, has really nailed the genre on its head. This programme not only makes me think of and laugh about shoddy horror shows, or appalling writing, it also makes me think of the times that I thought that I was a talented writer when I was younger, and wrote lines similar to the one above, feeling very proud of myself.This show should not be missed, and if you were unsure about it the first time, give it another shot. You will not be disappointed. It comes second to Arrested Development for me, and that is the only show that I would ever rate 10/10.

I just want to comment on what a burst of comic genius came out of 2004. The Dean Leaner character (shows Director/writer/creator?) went on to have his own talk show called "Man to Man with Dean Leaner" , he plays Moss on the "IT Crowd",played "Dixon Bainbridge" in the Mighty Boosh (Pilot) instead plays now "Saboo".All of these guys (Julian Barratt) as "Padre" who stars as Howard Moon in "Mighty Boosh" now. They all play on one another's projects now.I really hope to find out was it "Darkplace" which all gave them a foot in the door with a network. There has to be some big movies due out from these guys. Because in America we have just given up on film. All my horror films now come from Korea or somewhere west of Hawaii. Thank god the U.K. are still putting out something original.I have a DVD suggestion. If you are living outside of the states check out the DVD of a show called "Sea Lab 2010", "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" just check it out they are as strange and funny.Good night my Rottweiler is being very passive aggressive with me so now I have to go. "Duke not the look, we agreed never the look" , and now he is pretending too ignore me. This is unbearable,if anyone of you has a 135lbs Rottweiler you know how powerful they can be emotionally."OK Iam turning off the computer, and yes I will get you a cookie" Big baby.Over and out, Cheers,M.D. IVPS I was not joking about the dog.
