    the IT crowd was so promising but just not funny - despite the great cast/writers

    office space not really IT (in fact dilbert is more IT centric) but pretty good in places

    they made a cartoon out of Penny Arcade but is was gash

    but I've yet to see something IT related which has really made me laugh - I think that's because its not that funny a subject, xkcd is the only thing that comes close but is a web comic rather than TV show (and it can be far too nerdy at times to be truly funny)
    sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

    there is no art in a factory, not even in an art factory - Mixerman

    everyone is stupid some of the time - trad.

      The TPS reports theme in Office Space is very close to the truth tho....

        A sit com called "Contractors", about a office with a group of contractor and permie IT staff, how can it fail?

          you mean a program featuring a load of nerds sitting in front of their screens all day, not communicating with each other?

              Office space, definitely.

              PC load letter? What the f**k does that mean?
