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?

SO SAD to see the show end. I watched all 22 episodes and each one was filled with fabulous humor, great writing and an awesome cast. BRING IT BACK!
I’m soooo disappointed they cancelled it… I was really looking forward to season 2. The show is not at all offensive or racist, those who say that are ignorant and don’t understand comedy!

Actually these were the best TV series I’ve seen for a long time. They were really funny and interesting! I really hope that NBC changes their decision. Or, if this show doesn’t gain good ratings in USA, do export it to Europe. We love it here!
couldn’t agree with Alexander more.
Sorry to see it go……
OMG! I loved outsourced! I was waiting on season 2 🙁
They cancel this and still a let a show like “the office ” run around…..sad
My bf and I had been waiting for season 2 and just found out recently that season 2 had been cancelled! What a disappointment! My Malaysian-Indian friend who doesn’t watch much of the movies/series was surprise that he finished the whole season 1 as he said he never watchhed such good and entertaining series in his life! He kept asking me about season 2 and I have to disappoint him with this bad bad news……
