I wondered if the 6 episode seasons were a British thing. I went through all three seasons in 3 days. I just finished the last episode about an hour ago. I hope season 4 comes out on DVD soon.
I'm surprised someone from Hollywood hasn't tried to adapt it for the US (and ruin it like they eventually did with the Office). It's a hilarious show. And I'm not easy to please.
I have just started watching "Coupling" now that I'm done with The IT Crowd. I'm in a Britcom mood for some reason. I think it's because American tv has gotten so stupid. It's all reality shows. Very few shows worth watching (House, of course and 30 Rock and Criminal Minds are about it for me).
