The program itself kind of proves this as 99% of it has nothing to do directly with IT and would easily transpose, more or less, to most other departments within an organization.
I agree. After this little incident I decided to buy the box set of The IT Crowd and you are quite right, very little indeed is to do with IT. But I guess it could be argued that a number of sitcoms have very little to do with the premise or setting, but this acts as simply the backdrop for the characters to play out their story. So I concur that much of The IT Crowd's plots could easily transpose to most other departments.
