The IT Crowd is a comedy which used to be shown on Channel 4. It is about people, who are slightly abnormal, working in the IT department of some company, what it creates is left a mystery for us. There are three main characters; Moss, the classic nerd, Roy, a person who didn't turn into a man and stayed as a teen, Jen, the person who is meant to be the boss of the IT department who doesn't know the difference between a monitor and a keyboard.
The viewer starts to grow a relationship with these characters because of the mistakes they make and how they get into silly situations. For example in the episode 'Friend Face', an analogy of the modern Facebook, allows the characters to meet their old friends, and 'weirdos', which gets all of them into trouble.
In the 'IT Crowd' some hard language is used, for example the word 'bitch', however they are used in such a way that the viewer doesn't really notice what has just been said because the word is either said in such a way that makes it funny or the situation where it is used it very awkward or hilarious.
We also, from the first minute, understand the characters personality. For example Moss is very conserved and tight and finds it hard, and he just doesn't want it, to make relations with anyone further than a person from his IT department or his mother. He always is wearing a tie, shirt and trousers that sometimes don't match with the rest of his clothing. He has 'crazy' bushy hair that no one in his right mind will dare to wear and he sometimes doesn't understand when to lie and when to speak the truth, and some of his exaggerations are a bit over the top which always marks a lie.
We then have Roy, a character who just couldn't leave his teenage time and become serious. He normally wears clothing that a teenager would normally wear and he's always lazy, so lazy in fact that he doesn't even bother answering phone calls from the people in the company who are having technical issues and if he does he asks question such as 'are you sure you plugged it in' and when the answer is a positive one he just says that he will send someone out, maybe. Like Moss he can't make any proper relations and always gets into trouble.
Jen is the head of the IT department but computers to her are the same are as confusing as the binary code they're working on. She like all of her colleagues is having problems with relationships and because of her position about which she doesn't know anything, things could get awkward and for the viewers hilarious.
