Anyone else watch this show? I peronally think it is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. I have never found a single joke I didnt laugh at.

I caught episodes that were on YouTube or some such a couple years ago, but then lost track of it. I would assume that it's gone beyond the five or six episodes. What kind of sillyness have they progressed into at work?

Well, Ive only seen the first 4 or so episodes. So far however, they discovered a creepy Goth living behind a hidden door in the IT Room.

It's certainly a lot better than a lot of comedies on telly at the moment, but that's not saying much.

I've found the second series to be a lot more "out there" than the first series, unless I just don't remember it that well.

They stop the "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" jokes...:(.

Name one.

Almost every sitcom in recent times has been utter crap, sketch shows are even worse, and don't get me started on panel shows... All the comedies that have come out of BBC Three (Little Britain, Catherine Tate, Little Miss Joylin etc..) have been the biggest waste of TV time ever, and yet they all win awards. It's taking the same catchphrase every week changing it every so slightly. What happened to the golden age of BBC sketch shows? Although, now that I think about it, there's only ever been one good sketch show, and that was Goodness Gracious Me. While it did have repeating characters and catchphrases, it was the build up was funny. Like Mr. "Check Please", while you knew his catchphrase, it wasn't the catchphrase that made him funny.

Thankfully, all the good comedy shows are all on in one night. Not Going Out, It Crowd and QI.

The Office. Season 4 just started, and it was the best episode in the show, by far.
