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?

Sad that there’s no more to watch in Outsourced :((
I’m from Philippines and I love the series & the cast! I missed it already 🙁
Hope the show will got the chance to air again PLEASE………… 🙂
Why would the ratings be so low? Outsourced was an amazing sitcom. Or maybe because it wasnt based on American culture? The Indain culture seems fun and made the sitcom very interesting.
It was a good show !! I bet the only reason the rating drop it because let face it the U.S still doesn’t take in are use to looking at people of different culture are race. It is a bit ignorant and racist but that is reality. Look at all the show that doesn’t have cast who are all Caucasian are partially Caucasian they always get taken down even if it a good show.
Someone rigged the ratings!! One of the best shows on!
Are you kidding! Low ratings!!!??? This show was great, bring it back
i am surprised this was stopped. one of the best laughing medicine after a long time. would love to see a season 2. look forward for a bring back.
please bring it back I missed it already, even I’m here in the Philippines I still watched it, I think I had to say that this movie is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched, It deserves a season 2, please bring it back. :(( PLEASE PLEASE.
I did not really think there was anything controversial in the contents of this series. I was rather hoping to catch the second season of “outsourced”. Hope the people in charge change their minds.
