Some much-needed humour wings its way to Channel 4, courtesy of this award-winning sitcom, back for a third series.
Once again the dysfunctional employees are out of their comfort zone - the dull and dingy IT department of Reynholm Industries - and facing some awkward predicaments. Brilliantly funny.
The Daily Express, 21st November 2008Graham Linehan's always-enjoyable comedy returns for a third run, but as before, it still leaves me yearning for the vibrancy and wit of his Dylan Moran collaboration, Black Books. Still, I'll take what I can get (and compared to Clone, The IT Crowd looks like vintage Galton and Simpson). Roy, Moss and Jen are still stuck in the basement, attending to the IT needs of Reynholm Industries, while Douglas (Matt Berry) does his level best to run his father's company into the ground.

It may not be to everyone's taste, but The IT Crowd doesn't 'do' edgy. And that's precisely why James Rampton likes it.

Rob Buckley, The Medium Is Not Enough, 20th October 2008American review of The IT Crowd
American newspaper The LA Times talks about the import of The IT Crowd... A workplace sitcom with a raucous, surreal edge, may be the best comedy on the domestic fall schedule.
New York Times Review
Things are considerably more puerile than one could imagine, because this is the kind of show in which a nerd will go on a date with a big smear of chocolate on his forehead, and the woman he is with will assume it is feces. This is Benny Hill with a hard drive.

Kimberley Dadds, Digital Spy, 26th September 2007Off The Telly Series 2 Review
It remains to be seen how the series will fare without Chris Morris, he's clearly going to be missing out on a lot of fun. The audience, meanwhile, aren't. The IT Crowd has gone beyond the novelty value of being a breath of comedic fresh air, and is establishing itself - or in fact probably already has - as a great series in its own right.
