I can spend an entire day watching. I liked this show when it first aired and flagged it on Hulu to watch again when I noticed it. Just watched the first three episodes and am reminded why I liked it. Characters are funny. The lengths some of the call centers would go to imitate American accents was funny but a little eye opening too.
It introduced the viewer to a new culture and topic … Read more ». The services providers probably received more money for that series, underhanded, because everyone knew that outsourced would be a hit. Great show, just finished watching it again and am convinced that NBC did this show a great injustice by not letting it run at least another season.
It was funny, fresh, and had lots of runway for 2nd season storylines. I miss Gupta! It was such a great show too bad. I still watch the reruns. All there is now is garbage reality shows that are not even reality!!
A bunch of sensitive morons!!! Outsource was and is reality!!! Bad move NBC!!! Just found this show on Hulu and binge watched the entire season. Home News Cancelled or Renewed?
Should Outsourced have been cancelled? Are you kidding? I'm not sure. Yes, I think so. Next Post ». Caricature can be funny; the cringe-worthy minstrel show can be a tongue-in-cheek critical analysis of the way certain stereotypes are misappropriated in the media. But this humor [in Outsourced] is never cold blooded and fearless enough to make the falsehood of each stereotype legible. Take 30 Rock's Tracy Jordan for example: the writers have molded him into an absurd embodiment of every African American stereotype that exists, in order to poke fun at those who would genuinely regard persons of color in that way.
Outsourced has instead opted for a simpler recipe, in which stereotypes of each culture are presented as truth, and humor is meant to be derived from a basic comparison of the two. The result is cheap and unintelligent humor that ignores clever nuance in favor of scrawling out scenarios that many of us have seen million times before, creating false conceptions of Indians and Indian culture that the uninformed viewer will take literally.
Back then, it was a historical moment—literally the second time that a prime time TV show centered on an Asian character and the first to feature at least initially a primarily Asian cast.
Oh, how we looked to the show with such hope and anticipation! A programme about a modern and rebellious Asian American woman was the response we were looking for to the tired stereotypes of Asian Americans as the nerdy, bumbling foreigner. Finally, our glorious human and cultural complexity would be on full, fabulous display for all of America to see! Tragically, it fell far short.
A Facebook page called "Keep Outsourced" hasn't given up yet, though: its fans are now lobbying the TBS network to pick up the shows for airing in reruns.
