The little sitcom that caused a lot of controversy last summer has quietly ended its run. NBC has cancelled Outsourced after one season on the air.
Outsourced follows a US sales manager, Todd Dempsey (Ben Rappaport), who’s assigned to supervise his company’s call center in India. The sitcom also stars Anisha Nagarajan, Diedrich Bader, Parvesh Cheena, Pippa Black, Rebecca Hazelwood, Rizwan Manji, and Sacha Dhawan.
The NBC sitcom started out decently and it looked like NBC might have a keeper on its hands. Last September, Outsourced debuted to a 3.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.49 million viewers. In week two, the demo number fell 22% to a 2.8 rating and 5.85 million viewers but that was still pretty healthy by NBC standards.

Unfortunately, over the course of the season, the ratings just kept dwindling downward. The ratings have gone as low as a 1.4 in the demo with just 2.97 million viewers. Those are horrible numbers for a major network, even NBC.
Outsourced’s season currently averages a 2.1 demo rating and 4.55 million viewers. For NBC, that’s not too bad but the average is only that high because of the early season ratings.
It’s certainly not a shocker than NBC has cancelled Outsourced after just one season. The 22nd and final episode, titled “Rajiv Ties the Bharat, part two,” aired last night.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a second season of Outsourced? Why do you think the TV show didn’t catch on?

———————————————————————————————————
Ridiculous decision, the series was well received by all, even in Brazil!!
We want a second season !!!!!
People in the country’s worst recession/depression didn’t want to see a bunch of azzholes at NBC make light of their countries jobs and prosperity leave the country. go fukn figure.
I loved that show it sucks that it was canceled they should bring it back. Hopefully with the same cast they are what made the show and if you change that then it’s crap.
i guess it wasn’t “white” enough for everyone. it only had two white people, and america loves the white folks…that’s why white shows make more money
itz really sad..i myself including my family and friends in South Africa really looked forward to another season…oh well…anyone know of a better comedy to watch???
i heard that arrested development is really good, and modern family is also great
Ahlelulia!
What a shame!!! This was a refreshing, modern show with an excellent cast. funny and saddly very close to reality though. 🙂
I just love ” Outsourced”… My mom, bro and my little nephew enjoyed watching it so much… Outsourced deserves not just a second season but more seasons!!!
me gusto mucho la primera temporada de la serie deberian hacer una segunda …
I was shocked to see that Outsourced was cancelled. Just resently started watching on AT& T live tv. Also just saw it on cable in Rosarito, Mexico. Love the show, another good one down the tubes. This was a good and funny international show.
It’s Really really funny, I was to come to India when I started to watch, and I have passed for somethings here that I Saw in Outsourced, they shown some thinks about Indian culture that is true.
This Serie it’s very funny and deserve the second season.
Here speak the guy who knows what Todd passed hehehe, I’m here in India till November 2011, so I will return to Brazil.
One point here, the English here it’s very very hard to understand, in the Serie it’s easy kkk
