    Holding steady at fourth place with a lackluster fall 2011 season, NBC has seemingly nothingand everythingto lose in 2012. And so the network is spending unprecedented amounts (The Hollywood Reporter estimates the cost of the Peacock's development season to be… read more

  • The Best and Worst Instrumental TV Themes

    You've heard them hundreds of times, and can identify them with a single note. They can elicit chills of anticipation, or send you leaping for your remote. What am I talking about? TV theme songs, of course! And more specifically… read more

    Outsourced was a solid show but had it's rough patches. But that can come expected in a show's first season. It's a shame that the show was cancelled, and it's idiotic that people complained about the show because their job was outsourced. Like the TV show had anything to do with it. Unbelievable that NBC pulled this show than replaced it with Whitney.
  • When I called about a bill a few times, The people seem to be dead emotional. They don't help like the people in the USA. They read from a scrip. They are Not willing to help resolve issues. They just say sorry we can't help you OR you can't understand them at all.moreless

    I am so glad they pulled it. I never wanted it in the first place. My job went to India. They need to make it illegal to send jobs over seas. They need to make a law where companies can't send jobs over seas as of now & the companies have to bring 10% of the jobs back every year until there are no jobs out of the USA. The other nations made it because the people in USA bought from them because they had jobs, now that we don't because they went over seas the other nations are going down hill also. I am glad the show is off the air.moreless
  • Best new show I've seen in a long time.

    It's a shame this show was cancelled. My whole family loved this show. It was a very light-hearted comedy and each character was unique. It was also very easy to warm to each character, even the 'villain' Rajiv.
    One thing I also appreciated was learning some of the traditions and culture of India. I wouldn't have known some simple gestures would be seen as offensive/ harrassment and it was just nice to also realise how hard it is there and how we take certain things for granted.
    I hope another network picks this show up. It's very different from the other shows out there and it's entertaining for the whole family.moreless

    the show is not the best on tv, but its very entertaining. i love learning about other cultures. tv shows should not focus on laughter only, its always good to learn about the differences in cultures without offending anybody. this show did exactly that, a humor without offending Indians nor Americans. i really wish for this show to continue, the show has potential and the characters and very lovable. i like when i see a show to learn a thing or two, and i did learn a lot from this show about the Indian culture and i would love to learn more.moreless
  • This show is one of the best television shows I've ever watched. The acting is great, the writing is intelligent and funny, the music fits and the production is extremely well done.moreless

    This show has attracted me like MASH did years ago. The difference is this show doesn't attempt to make a statement about anything except humor. It does introduce the viewer to life in India, but that's an aside from the object being to entertain.

    The actors are extremely talented and play their parts well. Many of them have talents above and beyond acting, which are used in some of the episodes. Each episode is like watching part of a continuing movie, but it's not necessary to know what has happened in earlier episodes to watch newer ones.

    Without streaming, I would have never watched this show. After watching one of the more recent episodes, I went back to watch from the beginning.

    I'm hooked :-)moreless
