NBC tries turning its The IT Crowd remake on again

Deadline reports that NBC has committed to producing an American version of The IT Crowd, the first time this has happened since the last time it happened back in 2007. The project has been placed in the hands of remake specialist Bill Lawrence, producer of the Rush Hour TV series, who will hopefully avoid the temptation to produce a crossover event where a mismatched duo of cops teams up to solve the murder of Douglas Reynholm?s wife.

the original one was so good, why produce an water toned down american version?

Agreed,  produce more of the UK version with the original cast.

Bill Lawrence involved with it, then I might be okay with it.

I want Zach Braff & Donald Faison in it!

I hope that it can find it's place like the original.

Oh jesus. I just went to have a look at the american pilot episode...who thought Joel McHale could pull off an IT guy?! And if you're going to make an American remake (although why would you? Do Americans have difficulty understanding UK English accents?) at least try and make it your own, don't just copy and paste what has already been done!

I may give it a watch if I remember, but I'm not sure I see the point in doing this.

not really a fan of them doing an american re-make but if they could just re-hire the same folks and pay for it to continue it would be great.
