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?

Best comedy!!!
That was the best show ever,try and find something that matches the level of outsourced. This is Insane.
Whyyyyyyyy????? It was amazing. Better than 99.9% of the crap the will continue showing.
I am just now finding out that this show has been cancelled. This truly was one of the best comedies we have ever watched. What is wrong with this world? I was so looking forward many more seasons. Not only was the writing terrific, but the characters were each in their own unique way so fun to watch. Cancelled? Unbelievable.
I was upset, it was one the funniest shows out there, hope NBC can bring it back or maybe someone other network in cable can pick up the show!
This was one show that made me laugh out loud! Yep, I’m 58 and tired of all the same stuff on every channel!. The good shows get cancelled because of “ratings”. yet we have numerous cops and robbers, and brain dead “comedies”. Nobody has ever asked my opinion!
Im a gr8 fan of outsourced too. Season 1 was just simply awesome. But i guess they really have to put the thinking cap on to get the most out of India. Here’s what the makers can work with. Employees falling sick due to late nite shifts,,, I have heard there even a vehicle pick up and drop for emm employees ,, try and add a few more of those cast,,perhaps get some people to US and shoot over here. we all know its been shot in US.hehhe ohh i mean like the guys of TEAM A.
