NBC had a hit adapting the BBC version of The Office and now it's hoping for the same with UK hit The IT Crowd. The network is set to adapt the Channel 4 sitcom with the original creator, Graham Lineham, who will write and produce, Variety reports. Like the British series, it will revolve around tech workers in the IT department of a giant corporation, but will be a "re-imagining" of the original, not a clone. "Oh, yeah. Working on it. Don't expect the same kind of show and EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY," Lineham confirmed on Twitter.
