Pilot Watch - OUTSOURCED

I am still scratching my head on this one... curious to know why anyone thinks that middle America wants to see a 1/2 hour comedy about an Indian call center. Isn't that the one thing everyone complains about. No one at their call centers speaking English. The other thing I'm wondering is - where is the comedy.

This NBC comedy about an American guy who travels to India to open a call center. The script lacks funny with visuals like a pair of mounted tits jiggling to "Shack Rattle and Roll," and a toilet bowl coffee mug. It's trying too hard to get laughs. The casting is all wrong. And the one thing I didn't want to say - is it feels a little racist.

The fact that this got a series pick up, shows us why NBC is number 4.
