This show is hilarious! I wish they had done more episodes. Early on, there are a few F-bombs, just FYI.

This series reminds me of back when the Internet was new and a much nicer place than it is now. It’s nostalgic and also extremely funny. We’ve watched this over and over again in my family. Highly recommended if you like British humor, and nerdy jokes.

My favorite series.

One of my all-time comfort shows. I can watch this endlessly. The extra details, with each season's menu being a different era of video-gaming was a great detail and I made sure to watch each menu to see all the little nonsense that goes on. The extras are all worth your time and there are a ton on them. One of the better series boxed sets I've seen.

Back in the Eighties, I was working on a story for the morning edition when my computer froze up. I asked a couple of other reporters if they had any idea what I should do to get it working again but they had no clue. Their only advice: Call the IT department. I did, stressing the fact that because I was on deadline speed was of the essence. Right. Waste of breath, really, that bit about being in a hurry. About 30 minutes later a chubby young man wearing glasses and a Starfleet Academy T-shirt wandered over, sat down at my desk, fiddled with the keyboard a bit, and got my computer working. He stood, gave me a pitying glance, and then wandered off without ever saying anything to me. That was my first encounter with IT but over the course of my career as a journalist I had many others with the men and women who work in information technology. With rare exception, they followed the same pattern: Something would go wrong with my computer, usually when I was on deadline. I'd call IT and, eventually, someone would show up and get it working again. The pitying glance was always a feature of these encounters. As a result, although I wondered just who they were, I never really got to know anyone who worked in information technology. When, therefore, I saw "The IT Crowd" I bought it because I was - I suppose - curious about the odd life forms that spend their days fixing computers. So glad I did because this British comedy is genuinely funny with sharp writing, very fine acting, and some very pointed comments about life in a giant corporation. The series revolves around two men who are hidden away in the basement of the mega-corporation they work for and their new boss, a woman who actually knows nothing about computers and how to fix them. Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade are brilliant as the IT crew and Katherine Parkinson is hilarious as their ambitious boss who really doesn't know the difference between a keyboard and a mouse. Matt Berry as the mentally unstable, sexually adventurous head of the corporation is equally funny. What makes the show so interesting to me, however, is the fact that beneath the broad humor are some underlying truths about life in the corporate world. Sexual harassment, bosses who know little or nothing about their departments, toxic work environments, and general incompetence are all dealt with in this series, albeit with sharply worded humor. This DVD pack also includes some very clever animations and featurettes that give viewers some insight into the making of the series. I highly recommend it.

Arrived on time, well packaged and exactly as described. Item was in new condition and DVD’s play with no issue in Region 1 (USA). I would definitely buy from this seller in the future.

We bought it for $38 the day before it went on sale. So annoying. Excellent show. Came with the dvd holder broken but discs were fine

Excelente serie, hace mucho tiempo la buscaba. Algo malo... La región 1. He batallado bastante para poder verla (desde que la adquirí no la he visto). Traté de verla en un xbox one y que no era compatible con mi región, luego un reproductor de Blu Ray... Y lo mismo. Tengo que forzosamente conseguir un reproductor DVD multiregion 😖

Serie muy adictiva, con tramas e interpretaciones de los actores muy divertidas. El pack, 4 DVDs en total, incluye las 4 temporadas y viene con audio y subtítulos únicamente en inglés. En los extras encontrarás algunas escenas eliminadas y tomas falsas. También hay comentarios hablados en cada episodio realizados por el creador de la serie (Graham Linehan) y, en algunos casos, también por los actores, donde se comentan anécdotas e interioridades de la filmación. Si eres un auténtico fan de la serie o estás buscando una serie divertida para pasar un buen rato, este producto es ideal para ti. Ten en cuenta, eso sí, que está previsto que en junio de este 2013 se ruede el último capítulo de la serie (un episodio especial de 40 minutos), así que quizá quieras esperar algunos meses a que salga una nueva edición que lo incluya.

Kult! Eigentlich gibt es nicht mehr dazu zu sagen, aber für die Menschen, die diese Serie nicht kennen doch noch ein paar Worte: Die Serie ist leider in Deutschland nicht allzu bekannt, was eigentlich eine Schande ist. Man muss definitiv kein IT-Experte sein um über den Humor lachen zu können. Die Charaktere, der Humor und die Handlung sind einfach genial. Eventuell braucht man zwei Folgen um sich an den britischen Humor und an die Charaktere zu gewöhnen, wobei ich schon ab der ersten Folge begeistert war. Die Serie steigert sich dazu auch noch von Folge zu Folge. Die deutsche Synchro würde ich mir nicht antuen, da die Stimmen einfach nicht passen und lieblos gesprochen werden... dadurch geht viel vom Witz und Charme der Serie verloren. Dies könnte auch einer der Gründe sein, warum die Serie in Deutschland nicht so bekannt wurde. Also lieber im O-Ton (mit optionalen Untertiteln) anschauen. Ein paar Worte zu den Schauspielern und Charakteren: Chris O'Dowd hat unter anderem neben Jack Black bei "Gullivers Reisen" und auch bei "Radio Rock Revolution" mitgespielt. Er spielt den "normaleren" Nerd Roy. Versucht immer soziale Kontakte zu knüpfen, aber scheitert oft. Er passt perfekt zu der Rolle. Richard Ayoade war mit Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn und Jonah Hill zuletzt in "The Watch" zu sehen. Außerdem war er bei einigen Arctic Monkeys Videos als Regisseur tätig. Er brilliert als Moss, der absolute Nerd mit sozialen (charmanten) Defiziten. Auch hier hätte man wahrscheinlich keinen besseren Schauspieler besetzen können. Katherine Parkinson kennt vielleicht der ein oder andere aus "Radio Rock Revolution" oder einer Folge von "Sherlock". Sie spielt die IT-Abteilungsleiterin Jen und hat absolut keine Ahnung von PCs. Noel Fielding ist in Deutschland zwar nicht bekannt, aber in England durchaus. Er spielt Richmond. Dazu möchte ich nichts verraten, außer dass er seine Rolle klasse spielt. Absolut sehenswert! Wer die Serie nicht kennt und einen ersten Eindruck gewinnen will, kann sich kurze Ausschnitte im Netz anschauen (einfach nach "IT Crowd" suchen). Aber bitte nicht die deutschen Ausschnitte anschauen ;-) Fazit: Auch wenn die komplette Serie (also alle 4 Staffeln) leider nur 24 Folgen umfasst, sollte man sich diese nicht entgehen lassen. Ich hätte gerne mehr gesehen, aber der Schöpfer der Serie meinte, dass man das Niveau nicht mehr toppen oder halten könnte. Deswegen wurde keine weitere Staffel mehr produziert. Absolut konsequent im Gegensatz zu Serien wie z.B. Scrubs (nach den ersten fabelhaften fünf Staffeln gehts meiner Meinung nach steil Berg ab). Also: Kaufempfehlung!

これでブルーな日を笑い飛ばせると思うと本当に安い。 全シリーズフルセットだから研究者のリーダーズ英語辞典くらい分厚いですし、背表紙のイラストもダサいけれどもね。 英語字幕でかつPCでの鑑賞でOKのファンの方、買いだと思います。

Not only is the series hilarious, take the time to check out the elaborate retro gaming designs for the menus, all of them are specially designed, they even might be labours of love.
