American television networks remaking British sitcoms is not a new strategy. Sometimes, like in the case of The Office, it can work out better than expected. In the case of The IT Crowd, it went horribly wrong. The original IT Crowd is immensely popular both in the US and UK, and for good reason. The American reboot of The IT Crowd missed the mark on almost every level. So much so the network decided to turn off The IT Crowd without turning them back on. #theitcrowd #theoffice #nerdstalgic SOURCE https://archive.org/details/the-it-crowd-us-pilot https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/richard-ayoade-i-was-dumb-to-do-the-us-pilot-of-the-it-crowd/ https://web.archive.org/web/20071015202117/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i8cf59c5ed3dd83b7701493d4698eecb9 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6286825.stm https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5985859/The-Crowd-reboot-new-cast.html https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/episode7/umc.cmc.6qkzokg0xr1fwxncohfuuo1lm
