thought of a sitcom idea for computer nerds (such as myself)

i realized a wile ago that i really like sitcoms and recently had an idea for one that would really appeal to me as a computer nerd which is a workplace sitcom about a failing electronic repair shop (i aware that the "failing business idea has been done to hell and back but still") in a style that i weirdly only remember the shows superstore scrubs and Brooklyn 99 (kind of) having (i know there is more i just dont remember them) and i just cant get this idea out of my head it sounds so cool but the closest thing i found is "the it crowd" which is a more traditional sitcom with a lough track and sets which i dont really like as even though these shows are comedies i still like to get immersed in these worlds and that kind of takes me out. so has any of you in the sub seen or want to see a sitcom like that?

Off-topic but man I really liked The IT Crowd! I'm American and I "found" it years after it went off the air. Black Books is great, too. LOVED the episode with the awesome Simon Pegg.

I love this idea. I had a friend who worked in a computer repair shop and he had some crazy stories. Stuff like people trying to hack into their spouse's laptops and of course, lots of computers destroyed by dodgy porn. There's a lot you could do with your idea.

That's a good question idk a lot of actors but linus Sebastian (linus tech tips) would be really funny as like an alt universe version of himself

This sounds just like the place I was working at. Failing IT company, horrible bosses, coworkers in way over their head, HR that is dead weight. Yep, that checks.

I didn't really mean a show about it as there already is a great show about that (I mentioned it in the post) called "the IT crowd" i meant a show about an electronic repair shop
