The IT Crowd: Series 2

Well after watching all the new 6 episodes, I have to say that I was VERY disappointed with the whole new series. It has gone a completely different way from the first, introducing more 'blue' humour rather than IT humour. There was rarely any IT related humour in it which made the first series a good laugh. Most of the geeky humour was left to T-Shirts and things dotted around. Most of it was not in my taste, and the very fact that it was on Channel 4 at 22:00 says it all really. Hardly any in the office scenes, mostly out and about. Some good funny bits but these were few and far between. The last episode with Roy and Jen playing Guitar Hero on the PS2, and Moss and Roy mucking about when Jen isn't there was good. Richmond was kept, although a bit of an enigma, he added a different spin on things.

Mr Graham Linehan (writer and director) should have kept at least the majority of the 1st series jokes in there, he could have trawled the Internet to find IT related mishaps. If… more »

Mr Graham Linehan (writer and director) should have kept at least the majority of the 1st series jokes in there, he could have trawled the Internet to find IT related mishaps. If not I certainly could have given him some! It was a shame that Chris Morris didn't want to do the second series, so they killed him off. The new boss was an sexually over toned pervert with a thing for Jen, and it didn't work IMO.

It seems to be the norm that humour has to include sexual overtones, gay references, rather than good clean humour which made the first one funny.

If there ever is a 3rd series, please go back to the basics of the first.
