I think there's a lot of potential here, even if The IT Crowd is a somewhat traditional workplace sitcom. The usual British comedic style of surrealism and gentle humiliation seems to be working well here, but I think they're going to need to up the surrealism level to keep me happy. As I said, it's got potential, and now that the pilot episode has established all the mundane stuff it needs to, maybe they can tap some more of that potential and really take off.
