Apparemment la première adaptation américaine a bien été stoppée après le pilote, mais le show devrait revenir (sans doute pour surfer sur la vague the big bang theory)
A USA version of The IT Crowd was almost aired by NBC. It starred Ayoade reprising his role as Moss, with Joel McHale as Roy, Jessica St. Clair as Jen and Rocky Carroll as Denholm. Filmed at Universal Media Studios and produced by FremantleMedia, Linehan and Steve Tao acted as Executive Producers, with four writers involved - David Guarascio, Moses Port, Joe Port and Joe Wiseman. A pilot was filmed in January 2007, and a full series was ordered, advertised by NBC to be aired in the Autumn of 2007–08.[11][12][13] According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter in September 2007 however, the show had not gone into production and was going to be cancelled, even though a couple of scripts were written, stating the series "didn't quite spark" with a new NBC chairman Ben Silverman.[14] The pilot itself has since appeared in YouTube amongst other sites. The pilot episode for the American version reflects the pilot from the original British version, except for a few minor changes in the script.
On July 30, 2010, in an online live chat with The Guardian, Linehan confirmed that a US version of the show is back on
