And contrary to George's theory, I'm doing a degree in Analytical and Forensic Science and can't stand CSI, NCIS, Bones etc.

Me?!
When someone likes something just because they are supposed to like it. FOR EXAMPLE a guy I went to school with is really very catholic and he just posted about how he loves Father Ted. Or that my quite geeky friend really likes The IT Crowd. I notice this a lot, this idea that the subject matter of a show or film or song is what matters, but it's not, what matters is the quality of the writing, directing/producing, acting/singing etc.
I'd watch a show about paint drying if it had all of those elements, cause it actually would be good.
I guess what I'm saying is it annoys me when someone likes a thing because of what it's about rather than how good it is. Does anyone else get bugged by this or is it just one of my weird things?

I'm glad someone spoke up with this. The amound of cockney wheeler dealers who like Only Fools and horses really does my head in. Or Grumpy old b*st*rds watching One Foot In the Grave and laughing along.
Or those detestable B*ST*RDS middle class men who watch Peep show and laugh, f*cking pricks! Oh and mate, don't get me started on shop keepers laughing at Black Books and Hotel Owners laughing at Fawlty Towers.
Hi, my name's Chris McIlroy. Today I've been mostly using sarcasm to demonstrate how silly your point is.
Tomorrow I'll actually be stalking Dan. Not for any great benefit or to make a point, just because it'd be something new.

Or, using a penguin as a straw for a couple of seconds, then ramming the whole thing into your mouth, when drinking tea. That's fairly fantastic.
But everthing aside from that, the Wire. and how Phil smells, is sh*t.

Technically sexy.
Don't forget the fact that liking something because it's a subject matter close to your heart could be because of all the in-jokes, that are funny only because you "get" them.
The IT crowd is genuinely funny, but it's funnier to me as someone who's worked in that situation because of the in-jokes. Same with The Office, not quite as funny unless you've been in an environment like that and can relate the characters and events to real-life things.

I don't think the IT Crowd is genuinely funny though, I think it's average at best and really very poor at worst. Granted I haven't ever worked in an office but I have studied IT exclusively since the age of 16.

IT is not the way to understand the IT Crowd. It may as well be set on a small island off the coast of West Ireland, or in a fire station or something. It's silly, childish humour with safe relationships, a simple double act and a traditional form that the whole family can enjoy. There's nothing wrong with that.

Sorry, G, my sarcasm detector's on the blink so I'm not sure if you think I've misread your thesis or not.
I know the IT Crowd isn't the world's most laugh a minute or revolutionary comedy, but when it's on I just forget about anything else and slip into a safe world where nothing ever really changes and the people are bound to be okay in the end.

Basically, I'm just mangling and regurgitating what everyone's already said.
