NBC will be hoping the third time is indeed a charm, as it attempts to once again remake the British comedy The I.T. Crowd for a U.S. audience.
The original The I.T. Crowd was created by comedy legend Graham Linehan and starred Chris O’ Dowd, Richard Ayoade, and Katherine Parkinson as a hapless I.T. department within a large corporation.
After two failed attempts at a re-make, excitement for the U.S. version of The I.T. Crowd has likely faded by now.
Much like The Office did previously, the new version of The I.T. Crowd will need to make more allowances for its new audience.
