Wow. Four episodes in and no one watching?

Episode four, finally, we get to making fun of Americans! Haha, great stuff. I love the cast in this show!

WyldeMan45 · 10-15-2010, 04:20 AM

I DVR'd it since you said it's not as bad as I thought. After i catch up on Community, BBT and Fringe I'll let you know what I think of it.

WyldeMan45 · 10-15-2010, 06:24 AM

So, I watched it.

And that's all I have to say about that.........

Episode four? I'd say they've been making fun of Americans since the first episode. I like the show though. Don't love it, but I like it. Watched the indie film it's based on/spun off from and I liked that too.

The actress who plays Asha is beautiful.

And Diedrich Bader is always funny.

Gamma_Winstead · 10-15-2010, 12:21 PM

I didn't say it was GOOD. Just not as bad as NBC's other new shows.

Cancel this garbage and bring back Parks and Rec.

perdition · 10-15-2010, 01:32 PM

This show sucks. I couldn't make it passed the first five minutes I flipped on of episode three, which someone on this site said was "good".

Than why did you start a thread asking why nobody else was watching this? Damn you Gamma, you tricked me!!!

That's all I could think about last night too. This bit of ratings news makes me happy though:

Outsourced was even with last week’s 2.5 rating tieing a season low.

Gamma_Winstead · 10-15-2010, 07:08 PM

That's still better than every other NBC show other than The Office and Biggest Loser.

Gamma_Winstead · 11-03-2010, 08:41 PM

The halloween episode was awesome.

I thought it was the best episode so far. I'm still not loving Outsourced and think it's the worst show on NBC's Thursday comedy block (although The Office hasn't been great either) and nowhere near the quality of Parks and Rec but the show isn't as bad as I expected. The first few episodes mainly focused on Indian stereotypes but the characters and plots have gotten past that somewhat. I did find it interesting that (in my opinion) the best episodes of Community, The Office, and Outsourced were all the Halloween episodes.

supersix4 · 11-03-2010, 08:46 PM

I liked the first episode, but I just never set my DVR to pick it up so until it hits blu or netflix I'll have to wait

Gamma_Winstead · 11-19-2010, 02:29 AM

Another great episode tonight! I looked up Ben Rappaport (Todd) and this is the first thing he's ever done! I can't believe that! This guy is gonna have one hell of a career. Very charismatic.

Also, Outsourced moves to 10:30 on January 20th!

Nope. Who is that?

Damn, I thought everybody knew who Ed was, he's been around FOREVER, his acting career spans over 4 decades so I'm not about to type it lol, here's a link to his IMDB I guarantee you know him from something.

This could possibly be one of the worst shows I have ever seen. It is awful. And I don't mean offensive. I'll start with a positive comment. The idea of the show is really good and if it had decent writing and better pacing, it might make it a really good TV show.

Think about it. What would make a cooler show then one about an American who gets sent to India because his company is looking to cut costs? Only to fit that he is taking the job that an Indian had been working his whole life to achieve (and can't marry until he can prove his worth). All while the parent company is wasting money elsewhere. Just the interaction between the American manager and the Indian co-manager should make for good TV. They mess that up.

Then are other potential interesting dynamics but they waste it due to bad writing. The conclusions of the episodes are far too sudden. It feels like a live TV show that gets surprised at the end to find that they're running out of time and they rush the ending to make it fit in the 30 minute timeslot.

Just all around one of the worst shows ever (they could be much better). The show is mindless, the cultural differences are shallow, and the plot is weak. And if Community gets cancelled and this show gets another season I will officially stop watching all of the comedy programming Thursday nights.

This crap is somehow over a full ratings point more than Community each week. I'll never understand.....
