The IT Crowd The premiere of season two tonight was a friggin' riot. I gave up on it last season at one point, but they seem to have rallied a bit. Highlight: Noel from A Mighty Boosh.

With all the crap that BBC america shows, they've some how managed to skip this. It's completely unfair. On the bright side, they are showing Top Gear finally.

Oh yes, that was laugh-out-loud funny. Really, really good - I can't wait for the rest of the series, although I'm away for a couple of them. D_N: it's not a BBC programme, so that's why it's not shown on BBC America. Cory Doctorow is a fan and looking at Boing Boing, he grabbed series one from PirateBay, so maybe that's your best bet.

mininova.org seems to be the best site, IMO.

OMG OMG OMG, this is the only show worth watching on television anyplace. Thanks for the heads up, I'll go download it someplace unless someone here has it already...

Has anyone seen Channel 4's "Green Wing"? I've seen a couple of episodes over here, and I think it's a hoot. I think I'm already addicted. (more info)

No "IT Crowd" over here though, sadly.

That was the most amazing, un-pc episode *ever*. I don't know if they could even show that in the U.S.

Roy, on seeing a gay musical called "GAY!": "It challenged all of my assumptions--and I liked it!"

Taz, I love Green Wing. I'm hoping that season 2 comes out soon.

Utterly hilarious.

The last ten minutes were some of the funniest TV I've seen for a long time.

Yeah, it's rare that I actually laugh at a sitcom, but I did at that episode. Moss was hysterical.

It was OUTRAGEOUS. I like it when they get on subjects you could normally never approach - being gay or disabled. No sacred cows here.

Noel from The Mighty Boosh.

Season three of that coming in a month or two or three as well.
