I've only seen snippets of the IT Crowd, but it looked hilarious! Since The Office was produced by the same fellow who did An Idiot Abroad, I'm going to have to hunt that down.

I can't imagine anyone preferring American comedies, but maybe that's because I'm too used to them. They just seem too glib and slick for me. I Love Lucy was the last one produced that actually make me laugh. (Dated myself, there.)  Tim Conway is the most recent American comedian who was truly funny.

As a side-note, wish me luck. I'm about to eat my first steak in about 20 years of being a veggie head. I had to ask a friend to tell me what to buy, and how to cook it. Don't know why I'm suddenly interested in eating dead animal bits... next it will be toads. ;)
