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?

I love outsourced!!!!! How can it be gone! It was so funny I would literally be waiting all of Thursday to watch it! Please bring it back!!!!!!
Bring it back outsourced pleaseee ! I see it from Argentina 😉
bring ut back i loved that show
That was my favorite show to watch next to Smallville in which that ended as well. Even my 8 year old watches it. Now I don’t have any shows to watch. I’ve been waiting for season two to find out that there will be no more shows. It probably dropped because you guys changed the time slot. It was too late. I like it when you had it at 8 central instead of 9:30 or 9 central pm. That was the funniest show you guys had on nbc. Is there somehow the show can be brought back?
Bring back outsource….pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee…….
After watching the first season I seriously want to keep on watching it…..funniest show since Charlie Harper on two and a half men…
Bring it back !!!!!!!!! it is the best sitcom
that was the best sitcom men. i was waiting for the next season to find out that there will be none, to my disappoinment.
They should not have cancelled Outsource is a good show and just need it to be moved to another time schedule, it had a promising future.
You can’t be serious on not having the 2nd season aired……that is one bad decision…aaarrrrgghhhh….bring it plsssss…where else can you see such funny story…Bring it back…
