Today Maurice posted a link to Amazon.de in a chat we had, and it was to the second season of The IT Crowd. Finally, 6 new episodes with the IT department of Reynholm Industries.

The first season was nominated for best sitcom for the 2006 Rose d’Or. I recently read at Wikipedia that NBC has picked up The IT Crowd for its lineup next […] Continue reading →

I guess that Csak szex és más semmi (Just sex and nothing else) – homepage – will be the best movie that I will be seeing this summer.
